LOL, I know.
Just imagine if the Dims had our “feepers”, they would be sniveling all day, instead they are out on the net, on the phone, on TV protesting, writing letters, and pounding away no matter how far behind.

WRONG!! The angle is: Obama wants to release statements.. McCain wants to work on the problem!"

"And why not?" Because it's not your business what a board decides to pay a CEO. Not your business no matter what. Not even if taxpayers are looted to prop up an industry. "why not".. cripes!

Exactly my thought, it seems this one is bringing the sleeper trolls out. Wonder why?

Because they have not been prepping for the domestic issues debate. If you don’t think massive amounts of practice go into these debates you are from another planet.

I think someone in his campaign read Mark Steyn's post on
National Review this morning and got it. I think taking McCain off the trail plays to his strengths as a larger than life figure. Obama cannot match that. The hero coming to his country's need. That's great copy, fantastic headline and even the hostile MSM has to admit that McCain just changed the conversation throughout the country.

Dont be surprised if McCain comes in and takes the leadership role on the Republican side. 0bama will have to do the same or look small and marginalized. And if 0bama does try to step in on the Democrat side as McCain has, he will step all over Schumer, Frank, and Dodd, and expose just how out of his league he is. Wow...brilliant again! Can you imagine the Dem senators letting Obama upstage them?? I can't. They'll always be hovering in the background like puppetmasters.
To: Qwackertoo
Brilliant move by McCain.
It's now one of those “3am” moments for Obama.
Obama can now a) go back to Washington and participate in the debate on the bailout, or b) continue to campaign.
If he follows scenario a) Obama looks like a follower, not a leader.
If he follows b) he looks weak and selfish while McCain sacrifices his selfinterest for the good of the country.
The Obama people are huddled together right now having a koniption fit trying to decide which option to choose.
They won't be able to decide, and the media will start pestering them for an answer.

Well, no.... by waiting until today, he has allowed Obama to put himself on record as saying he will not suspend his campaign if there's already a concensus.... Which means, Obama admits that he's not gonna be there to help build the concensus. He's not interested in solutions. Great comment. Once again we are seeing the contrast between the doer who puts country first and the bloviator who puts his own political ambitions first.

It does indeed elevate the crisis even more in the public’s mind.
Whether that’s a good thing or not, time will tell.

I sent it to the good people at National Review Online's
The Corner, and they posted it about 20 minutes ago.

That argument doesn’t fly — everybody knows that it’s routine for Senators and Congresscritters to go on the campaign trail (if only for reelection) while continuing to do their jobs.

I think it was your incoherent sentence fragments and your history of being a negative neigh bob that got you tagged as a troll .
To: Raebie
"f it was Obamas idea, why is he saying theres no need to suspend his campaign or delay the debate??"
If it was Obama's idea, why is it taking him so long to respond to McCain's challenge? You'd think with all that executive experience he claims to have gotten by running his campaign, he'd be able to respond in a timely manner.

To: LibertarianLiz
Okay, I'm glad there are a couple of people out there who, like me, think this is NOT a great idea.I think that it all depends on the spin. IF (and this is a big IF) McCain can get his message out fast enough, and loud enough, and be perceived as taking the "High Road", then he just sealed the election.
However, if Obama is allowed to grab the focus...McCain just fumbled the ball inside his own 20. It won't break him, but he'll lose whatever small edge he has right now.

This smacks of a desperation move at this late stage. I always tried to give you the benefit of the doubt on the poll threads, but your overt pessimism appears intentional. Carry on the DU tactics if you wish, but you've outed yourself.
