McCain had invited his opponent to join him in returning to Washington to deal with the crisis. He also asked for a delay in the first debate of the General election which is scheduled for Friday evening in Mississippi.

Send in Sarah to sub!

[GauchoUSA]

Of course he will refuse. Come on! Obambi needs to battle the Palin effect; plus he doesn’t want to waste his time to vote ‘PRESENT’ again.

McCain has pinned Obama down. Obama cannot go to Washington without looking like a follower to McCain’s leadership and he cannot stay on the campaign trail without looking like he puts politics before country.

McCain and “COUNTRY FIRST” the clear winner here and a brilliant move.

[FrdmLvr]

I think McCain should suspend the campaign, go back to Washington to work on resolution for the crisis, leave 2 hrs. before the debate, debate for an hour, and fly back if there’s a vote. Obama will look like the sniveling whiner he is after saying McCain can’t do two things at once. While Obama has been cramming for this debate all week, and will be all day on Friday, McCain will look like he’s totally in control.

So, let me get this right. Obama is putting himself before the country..? What a turd. Guess he’ll enjoy his one-on-one with the teleprompter.

Senator Obama refused, telling the media “This is exactly the time when the American people need to hear from the person who in approximately 40 days will be responsible for dealing with this mess.”

TRANSLATION: This is exactly the time when the American people need to hear from ME...the person who is app 40 days will be responsible for dealing with this mess.

[reagan_fanatic]

Go debate yourself, Obama.

[bayliving]

Obama bin Biden can't be bothered with trying to prevent a so called "national crisis" when there is a presidential campaign to be run.

After all, he can do more than one thnig at a time.........

Oh, and if you need him you can all him.....

[KSCITYBOY]

So Bambi is planning on being sworn in within forty days?

[Ciexyz]

The game continues....

Another Obama gaffe. The next President won't be inagurated until January 09.

What a freaking idiot.

Of course the press will characterize this as a PR ploy intended to score political points AND avoid the formitable oratory skills of The One.

[DGHoodini]

John McCain - Country First!

Barry the Cowardly Little Girl - P-wussy Opportunism First!

[HammerOfTheDogs]

I predict the empty chair wins.

[big'ol_freeper]

I'm guessing nObama does not realize that he does not become president of the 57 United States, including those of us who cling to guns and religion, until late January...

[maggief]

My Debate Will Go On

[Parley Baer]

This is exactly the time when the American people need to hear from the person who in approximately 40 days will be responsible for dealing with this mess.”

Another gaffe. Hey Barry in 40 days you or John will not be the President. GWB will be until January 20,2009.

[RepubRep]

Dufus is afraid he will forget all the memorizing he is doing to prepare for the debate. There is certainly more to it than THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. It is all about him . . .

Senator John McCain (R-AZ, Captain, U.S. Navy, retired) is playing chess, while Senator Barack Obama (D-Il, ACORN Alumnus) is playing checkers. Note to me: Call Mrs. 2ndDivisionVet and ask her to pick up more popcorn.
