People, we need to understand that the bill has to get done and signed before McCain will do any finger pointing. He is too much of a patriot for that. Once a bipartisan bill is achieved and passed, McCain will tell the tell. The question is, will Pelosi, Obama, Reid and Frank have convinced the public that it’s all McCain’s fault by the time he speaks on this?
Yes to your question. McCain is losing the public relations war as I type - and has been since Friday night.
That’s exactly it. McCain has taken the stance that we need to come together to pass this bill. (I wish that wasn’t his stance, but that’s the one he took.) He has also said that Obama needs to rise above politics so Congress can pass this bill.
The only consistent option now is for McCain to try to “rise above politics” to help get this bill passed. The problem with that is: 1) few people want the bill passed, and 2) Obama is not rising above politics- he’s campaigning.
Obama got way ahead when he refused to join McCain in the suspension of his campaign. It sounded brilliant at the time, but in retrospect, it was a dumb move.
