“I’ve just decided that President Bush is an IDIOT...or a traitor.”
Don’t you get it? Obama made this big deal: call me if you need me, but I’ve got other more important things to be doing than my JOB. He went out on record saying he wasn’t going to Washington. So Bush called him on it (per McCain’s request, as you will see if you review McCain’s press release earlier today — and Bush had yet to agree). So Bush agreed, even though he’d rather stick needles in his eyes. So Obama is answering the call of John McCain, like a whipped puppy dog, and going to Washington to look second rate. It’s brilliant.
And by the way, if you haven’t figured out the debate thing, John McCain NEVER wanted to debate on Friday night so that his butt-whippin of Obama had no time to resonate around the water cooler and the Sunday talking heads got all that free time to tear him to pieces. He also NEVER wanted to do a standing (literally standing behind a podium) debate. He bated Obama with Friday and podium against his stronger foreign policy, so that Bush could come out with this disaster NOW (as opposed to 10 days ago) and get this canceled. It’s absolutely brilliant. They don’t even know what just hit ‘em.
It took me awhile... It was a knee jerk reaction on my part.
Whatever. So this Friday’s debate was cancelled - there will still be a future debate on a Friday? What does it even matter? They’re going to both debate on a coming Friday, eventually. So the Sunday talking heads will have their day, just not this Sunday, but a Sunday in the near future, for sure.
Except, the MSM will twist it to say "BO is so important that the Prez had to call him in for advice on this financial crisis"!!!
