Bush Invites Obama to DC to Work on Bailout Bill; Obama Accepts
September 24, 2008 8:06 PM
ABC News has learned that President Bush called Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., this evening and invited him to participate in a meeting about the Wall Street bailout bill tomorrow afternoon in Washington, DC, with other congressional leaders, including Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
Obama accepted the president's invitation, a source tells ABC News.
The invitation comes at an interesting time. The President has not been in the middle of negotiations with Congress, leaving that task to his Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.
McCain earlier today announced he was suspending his campaign -- and his participation in the first presidential debate Friday night -- in order to return to the Capitol to work on the flailing bill. McCain's move has been denounced by Democrats and political observers as a political gimmick, though the McCain campaign insists the senator is trying to put politics aside to solve the stalled legislation.
President Bush's move could be seen as an attempt to aid McCain's gambit by creating a presidential-level meeting where the Arizona Republican is present.
Obama still intends to attend the debate Friday evening.>>>
This way McCain's crazy idea to "suspend" his campaign to address this issue will look more like it was a presidential request.

which seems to me would be more harmful than helpful to his campaign

Oh, have no doubt, McCain
Obama is trying to act in the best interest of the country, but the Republican trap will cost him.....
