Obama will still try to take credit for any resolution that comes out of this, just like he claimed that Bush was following his recommendation for troop withdrawal from Iraq, even though the drawdown was already in the plans, for anyone who was paying attention.

The White House staff should put a hidden camera in the meeting, and then leak the embarrassing footage of a clueless 0bama stammering and stuttering as he demonstrates he’s clearly way out of his league.

Yeah, Letterman gets pissed off because McCain cancels his program, and goes to the CBS news program instead. Well I think McCain would rather go to a news program than a comedy program. Even if the news program is the laughable CBS.

See post #62 for a simple solution to that problem.

Obama was supposed to spend all day Thursday in debate prep. This blows that. Maybe McCain knows what hes doing after all.
McCain says ok you're right, lets have that debate On Friday after all. Sorry you didn't get to prep.

Barry will go on television and tell us all how he called Bush and invested him to the oval office to work out this financial crisis.

This will be a media bonanza for Obama.I am afraid it will be spun as Bush is in such trouble that he pleaded with Obama to come and rescue him.Look at the headline.Obama is asked to come and blessedly agrees.McCain is simply invited. I believe this election is slowly slipping away from the Republicans and the media smells blood.I am afraid the average person out there does not follow the news as freepers do and and will be swayed by headlines and the major networks.Oh well we will see...

I appreciated the President explaining it. I think Paulson was handing him a bill of goods designed to profit Hank’s Wall Street buddies (and himself when he goes back to Wall Street in January). He hoped President Bush would fall for it, but Bush demanded caps on executive pay, which put the brakes on Paulson’s money train.
$700 billion is still too much, and they must mandate reverse auctions.

Bush lets Obama know he won’t be able to just vote present on this. You are a senator Obama, and you will have to vote and answer for your vote, good or bad.

Bush basically just bailed him out on this issue. This economic crisis wasn't helping McCain. This is an attempt to take the issue of the campaign table.

If voters really accepted what media says unskeptically, then McCain’s poll numbers would be at 10% and average joe’s would be demanding that Palin get the electric chair.

“Bush basically just bailed him out on this issue. Now McCain will not be able to point out that he was the only one who went back to help in the crisis. McCain should ask Bush to just stay out of this election. He is not helping.” Exactly! I can't believe this! McCain had Obama on the ropes over this and Bush just saved Obama’s arse. Stupid is as stupid does.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

We need to start a meme on left-wing sites that Obama is a lackey for Bush. He will do whatever Bush wants him to do, even stop taking his message of Hope and Change to the American people. Maybe next he will be tap-dancing in the Rose Garden to entertain Laura, Jenna, and the younger Barbara.

Exactamundo. Obama was reaping huge political benefits from this problem, however undeserved. McCain had to do something to get out in front of this as the polls were sinking on him. He pulled this gambit today and got an assist tonight from da Prizzle.
It might be crazy enough to work. As Krauthammer said, McCain threw a long TD with the surge, then threw up a hail mary with the Palin pick that she caught in the end zone. Can Big Mac go three-for-three?
To: Thane_Banquo
Thane, I really hope you are right.The media has me so angry that I think I will give up the news for a few days.hehehe wont hurt me to do that.
Thanks for reminding me that I must give more credit to the fine people in this country!!!
To: Blue Turtle
As it stands the president and party in power take the blame for what’s gone wrong .. you can see it in McCain’s sudden drop in polling numbers. By inviting Obama, it deflects that perception. It’s actually a smart move. They are not going to tolerate the ‘Christmas tree” ornaments the D’s are pushing.

This move by Bush makes Letterman look like the self-important ass that he is.
