This is what I am seeing and hearing,
McCain’s step was brilliant because it showed form over substance. Even DEMOCRATS are calling it brilliant.
Bush then inviting Obama to the “meeting” was check and mate.
Now Obama has to sign off WITH whatever compromise is reached. Thus Obama is trapped. Obama is also exposed as a rank amature in adult politics by failing to see this manuver.
By stating he was still going to “make sacrifices at the temple, while there is a tiger at the gate”* he demonstrates a reality disconnect. (see Barakopolis)
For those in Rio Linda: Politicians are elected and PAID to do a job, they are not elected to run for re election to office.

Slept late morning ping.
Woke up to Howard Wolfson as my punishment.
