John McCain announced that he will suspend his presidential campaign on Thursday to return to Washington to help with bailout negotiations. He urged his opponent Barack Obama to do the same.
The Arizona senator also asked the Presidential Debate Commission to postpone Friday’s scheduled debate with Obama so that he can work on the financial crisis bailout plan now on Capitol Hill.
“America this week faces an historic crisis in our financial system. We must pass legislation to address this crisis. If we do not, credit will dry up, with devastating consequences for our economy. People will no longer be able to buy homes and their life savings will be at stake. Businesses will not have enough money to pay their employees. If we do not act, ever corner of our country will be impacted. We cannot allow this to happen,” McCain said.
Yeah, Obama will bite.
He’ll bite his lip in confusion.
If Zerobama's crowd claims this, then respond that some things are too important to try to handle two at once. I don't want a surgeon checking his Blackberry in the middle of open heart surgery. Or doesn't the extremely junior senator from Illinois think the current financial crisis is important?
Why would the messiah need McCain to hold his hand?
*snicker*
I can read the same stuff you're posting here in any number of posts on DU. In fact, I do, regularly - I'm registered there, and I routinely post crap that drives those Commies nuts. Perhaps you've read some of my work. :)
LOL! According to yesterday's NYT blog,
He side-stepped two questions about whether he would vote against bailout legislation that did not include his priorities, and he also did not commit to returning to Washington to go on record and cast a vote on a final package.“If we get consensus and everybody is popping champagne, then I’ll probably go back to campaign with folks who are having a tough time in Ohio and Michigan,” Mr. Obama said. “If this ends up being a close vote or a vote where the outcome is at all in question, then obviously this is a top priority.”
Obama's campaign realizes that McCain has landed a haymaker, and now they're just trying to stay on their feet.
CNN said the President’s statement read that he welcomes McCain’s participation.
Is he?
Carlroveitis....A mental illness only affecting liberal democrats....Similar to paranoia.
You must have your head planted firmly in the sand. Our present economic situation can hardly be described as routine. Geesh!
I love it. Whenever the momentum of the campaign swings against him, McCain audibles a deep pass to turn things around.
Yup. they’re totally flummoxed.
Bush’s press sec thanked McCain for his action and support in solving the crisis.........
Brilliant!
I think you are 180 degrees off the target.
McCain expects to win.
And I expect it to be a landslide. Too many people are learning about the REAL Obamanation.
Waaaaah... No choice, move the debate to a different time.
O-Dumbo is probably afraid he'll forget all of the answers that he's memorized if the debate is moved.
Obama just said the debate is ON...does that mean he’ll be standing on stage alone?
COUNTRY FIRST!
“Obama sent out a release saying he called McCain this morning at 8am”
Even if that IS true, I hope Team McLame has the guts to:
Deny
