Obama got scooped. His campaign is simply putting out a damage control statement that can be spinned later.

Let us not forget who began that ball rolling ...MCCAIN. He is forcing Obama’s hand. People need to be reminded of this over and over.

I'm not so sure. I hate to use MSNBC as a source, but this article says: "The Obama campaign said the Illinois senator had called McCain around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday to propose that they issue a joint statement in support of a package to help fix the economy as soon as possible. McCain called back six hours later and agreed to the idea of the statement, the Obama campaign said. McCain's statement about postponing his campaign was issued to the media a few minutes later."

Fortunately, you have no office and we don’t have to depend on you for governing.

Democrat voters and supporters wont see it that way. Just like they dont see that Congress got us in that mess and that Congress needs to stop spending.

Who is the talker...and who is the walker?
As always Obama talks the talk....McCain walks the walk.
And I would ask for a second opinion if your source is MSNBC.

Once again it gets down to who talks...who walks.

Obama just said that it was McCain who suggested needing to meet in Washington to which Obama wanted to wait until after the joint statement.
Hate to repeat myself. One talks the talk...one walks the walk.

McCain acts and Obama talks. I really think this will show America who leads and who is clueless.

Obama blew it. In his little talk right now, he admitted that McCain told him about going back to Washington and suspending the debates. It came as no surprise, although he initially tried to make it seem so. He tried to tell McCain how to handle it and told him to wait until after the joint statement. McCain did what he thought best ...and did not take Obama’s direction.
Go McCain.

Perhaps you need to chill!

I say this as someone who realizes that you are an extremist with extremely extreme ideas and post as such. Please take an extremely deep breath and then as an extremist, post your extreme ideas in a calmer manner.

Socialism sucks and so do you.

I can dream, can’t I?
