Bump!
Bump
Beating Obama like a rented mule.
Assuming anybody is paying attention
The only statement I want to hear is “We will not steal from the taxpayers to clean up a mess they didn’t make”.
But the MSM is playing the Nancy/Frank show wherein they blame McCain for disrupting their process.
This verifies what Rush said today:
Barack Obamas priority was political posturing in his opening monologue defending the package as it stands.
Maybe I don’t get it, but I am a little frustrated by what I think of McCain’s failure to take over this whole situation. First, since the D’s won’t do anything without R cover, and since the Congress is now afraid not to act, McCain and his fellow Republicans can dictate the terms of the deal (within reason) — make it a workout, not a bailout, as so many have been saying. Second, to my mind, he should have either 1) blown off the debate, or 2) demanded a change in subject, to domestic. Again, he controls: no McCain, no debate. He gets to dictate the terms.
I don’t understand why he isn’t doing any of this. Using the powers given him by the situation.
Also — while I’m on my annoyance dial — the mishandling & mis-using of Sarah Palin is grating. Jeepers. Why (to take one small item) — why put her into one on ones with people who hate her guts and wanna play gotcha? Let her raise money and stir crowds. What does she need any of the Katies or Charlies or any of the MSM for? No matter how well she does, they will not change their rants. They will still hate her in the morning. They NEED to destroy her. Please — use her better — crowds & fundraising!
Ah well.
The difference between Barack Obama and John McCain was apparent during the White House meeting yesterday where Barack Obamas priority was political posturing in his opening monologue defending the package as it stands.
***Worth repeating.
Unfortunately, anything McCain does is going to be drowned out by the media and put down by the majority in Congress - who happen to be Democrats.
You wish.. Our Bush will sign anything that comes to his desk
as long as it does not include pardons for Ramos and his buddy.
I agree! I don't care about partisan, bipartisan... just make sure the weight doen't fall on my shoulders.
It’s all a question of who you trust. McCain is betting that independent voters will trust him more than Nancy Frank. (Who is Nancy Frank?)
Yes!!
When is anyone going to learn the first principle of economics, that you do not benefit by beggaring your neighbor, but do benefit by his doing well?
Really, nothing else matters a tuppenny damn at this point. It is purely about getting the policy right. The voters will not forgive anyone for correctly representing their own boneheaded mistakes or financial illiteracy.
