McCain
for once I agree with Clinton?? egads
He cannot top Obama when it comes to an honest discussion of the issues.
Therefore, he must try to use fear and smear tactics. He tried to get Americans to fear Obama and then to smear Obama’s record.
Whenever the fear and smear tactics are not working, then he has to run a razzle dazzle play like selecting a woman for his vice presidential candidate or suspending his campaign.
If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, then you must try to baffle them with bull.
McCain is the Bull candidate.
From the Washington Post:
But until Obama agreed to come to Washington, GOP leaders were wary of their nominee's unilateral decision. Boehner joined with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in issuing a statement saying that "working in a bipartisan manner, we have made progress" on an agreement -- without McCain.
"I really don't think we can give him a seat at the table unless Barack Obama is willing to join him," House Minority Whip Roy Blunt (Mo.) said before Obama's announcement.
The negotiating table has thus far been extremely small. The talks have been led by House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.); Rep. Spencer Bachus (Ala.), the committee's ranking Republican; and Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. and his staff. Senate banking committee Chairman Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.) and his ranking Republican, Sen. Richard C. Shelby (Ala.), have had a more limited role, while congressional leaders have focused on bringing their members around simply to the concept of a $700 billion bailout of teetering financial firms.
Negotiators questioned how either presidential candidate could now enter those talks, especially when a process that started badly on Tuesday showed signs of strong progress yesterday.
"Obama and McCain coming back will not be particularly helpful," said House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.). "It's just going to bring the presidential campaign into the halls of Congress directly."
I'll supply the link if you need it.
I don't condemn McCain for wanting to work on the crisis but I will say that I find it interesting and kind of scary that he doesn't trust his VP candidate enough to deal with this campaign in his absence. I also find it frightening that she's only done 2 interviews since being selected whereas Biden has done over 20.
Also, Obama makes a good argument that isn't that kind of like being president? Dealing with multiple crises at a time and still managing to make public appearances? Wouldn't *now* be the most important time to address these issues in front of the American people?
I heard on the news this morning that if the McCain/Obama debate gets postponed, it will take place on October 2
