John McCain announced that he will suspend his presidential campaign on Thursday to return to Washington to help with bailout negotiations. He urged his opponent Barack Obama to do the same.
The Arizona senator also asked the Presidential Debate Commission to postpone Friday’s scheduled debate with Obama so that he can work on the financial crisis bailout plan now on Capitol Hill.
“America this week faces an historic crisis in our financial system. We must pass legislation to address this crisis. If we do not, credit will dry up, with devastating consequences for our economy. People will no longer be able to buy homes and their life savings will be at stake. Businesses will not have enough money to pay their employees. If we do not act, ever corner of our country will be impacted. We cannot allow this to happen,” McCain said.
Troll? Me?
HERE IS A FOLLOW UP...
Sarah Palin needs to go to every TV Program in the country and talk about this crisud. EVERY SINGLE ONE. even the view and Bill Maher. LOL
start booking her NOW.
Snufflupagus.
“I’ll be happy to allow Senator Obama sufficient study time before hand.”
Good one. McCain should tell Obama he would be happy to do a townhall everyday until the election.
“Confirmed: Obama Camp: The Debate Is On (ABC News)”
Stupid move, IMO. Team 0 shouldn’t have commented until after W’s speech.
0bama to go live any minute, (CNN).
I blieve that both Reid and Pelosi said that this was a Rep proposal and that McCain should go on the record as supporting it. The Dems said they would not support the bill unless 51% of the Reps did. McCain is now coming back to take charge. Good move.
So his moves should be shaped by how the media may spin them????
Are you serious?
What a lame response!
McCain wins this round.
Awwww. How cute.
A made up conversation, and pointless post.
This is a very interesting idea. Think about it: Mac goes back to WDC and Obama/Biden continue on the stump (probable). Then Mac asks for the debates to be moved and the O/B campaign says no (they are on a Friday so hopefully, nobody will see O get his ass kicked).
So Mac can say "I am busy fixing the econony, but you can debate my VP, if you can't be bothered to help...", which would put O into a terrible position. He can't debate her: it elevates her position, while demeaning both his and Biden's position. He can't NOT debate her also, because he would be portrayed as running from the very person that his campaign has impugned so far.
And, it is a win-win-win, since Obama is a terrible debater, he would likely "lose" the debate (since the conventional wisdom would be that he would "win") with Palin.
There is only upside by painting Obama in this corner.
That would be sweet. Obama would go totally catatonic.
Can you imagine that? If he says "yes" to debating Palin then he ends up diminished no matter how well he does. All Palin has to do is show up and it's a victory.
If he says "no" than it looks like he's afraid to debate her.
The best he can do is not do it and call it a political stunt. But I'm betting a LOT of people would want to see Palin debate Obama rather than McCain. It would be an historic first with a massive audience.
“So then what. O shows up and McCain doesnt. Wonder what the next move will be.”
Obama loses to his own teleprompter....
Take your attitude elsewhere. Giving an assessment of how the media will spin this does not imply we should surrender to it.
Biden..Biden
This stunt will cost the taxpayers another train ride back and forth from DC to Wilmington (or is it Scranton).
Dumb move. One debate and this race is over. Then do it.
Said everything would continue forward.....she sounded really po'd.
Guess she would rather put the debate first....over country :^
-Not that McCain was doing all that well on the campaign
-trail. But he always seems to be one or two steps (days)
-behind what he should be doing.
But he’s always a day ahead of Obama. This is a brilliant move.
A joint statement isn’t enough. This is a serious issue and they should be doing the jobs we pay them to do.
