BREAKING NEWS - McCain suspends campaining to focus on economy

I'm not buying this game. This and most elections are nothing more than a dog and pony show. And lookee, McCain wants out of the debate too. Surprise, surprise.

I thought McCain advocated LESS gov't involvement. Seems like campaigning would help that approach.

The Constitution Party is looking better and better.

Obama called McCain this morning to get McCain to work with him on a solution. McCain suspended his campaign. Now Obama is saying he won't and that it's not needed.

Guess Obama is just living up to his reputation of being all talk.

I'm sorry, I forgot McCain was an economic expert. They could really use his expertise. 05-stirthepot

RE: BREAKING NEWS - McCain suspends campaining to focus on economy
Obama says they can do both - have the debate and then go back to Washington to work all weekend on getting a bailout that everyone can live with. I guess McCain can't multi-task as effectively as he used to be able to do. It does appear Ole Miss is going to be disappointed.

It is ironic that McCain hasn't been on the senate floor for a roll call since April (Obama July).

The one person who looks the worst here is Bush. Obviously the Democrats and Republicans (and public) can agree this is not the best proposal that the federal government can come up with. I hope Bush won't get on the news tonight and be stubborn saying this has to be the proposal Congress votes on.

Is Obama? Oh, nevermind. That's right, nope.

They DO, however, control the purse strings of the country.

Wrong. Obama called McCain to issue a joint press release. Then, McCain decided he could look like a leader if he pulled something like this. It's all a political game to make McCain look like he has great leadership.

A joint press release? WTF is that? What, stand up, look at the American people, and say, "We feel your pain"? What the hell does a press release do?

I'm not arguing that point. I'm just saying you were factually wrong.

Obama in his recent press conference said the debates should go on, and potential presidents of the USA should be able to do more than one thing at a time. Thoughts?

Look it's more he said/he said politics. Both parties are going to say they're right and are doing the right thing. The only thing everyone can agree on is that the first proposal by Paulsen was bad. Bush is making one concession - the golden parachute salaries for the CEOs are a thing of the past. But more concessions are needed.

Got news for you. The last thing McCain would want is out of the debate. He'll wipe the floor with Barry (i can't talk without a teleprompter) Obama.

He's trying to stem the tide running against him because of the economy. Nothing more.

Really, do you actually believe that? Have you ever listened to him?Obama can sell ketchup to a wowan in a red dress. There is no surprise McCain doesn't want to go up against that.

Yep, and he's very good in unscripted formats. He can't give a speech to save his life, but he's good on the fly.

Quote:Obama can sell ketchup to a wowan in a red dress.

Not without the speech written out for him and on a teleprompter. Clearly you've never heard him off script. "And, um.and um, um, um and I just, uh, um."

Is that why he's behind in the polls? Or is that why he isn't going to get 50+ percent of the vote?

Obama can sell ketchup to people in white dresses who also can't name the current Sec'y of State, tell you what the 10th amendment consists of, or name all 50 states. I.e., the Dumbmasses.

....and if any of you supporting Obama thinks he will fix the economy, when he's PROMISING to tax the ever-living **** out of the job creators, socialize one of the largest industries in the country, and promises 1 trillion of new handouts, you're idiots.

Um, no I didn't. Statement 1 is about McCain, statement 2 is about Obama.
