Maybe I'm the only one who doesn't give a f___ who you are, but if you're a senator you need to be in DC right now working on the bailout. Extra-curriculars come second. While I think McCain is over-dramatizing, I think Obama is no more right in the matter.

Hmm...last I checked (last night) he WAS in DC.

I haven't GPS tagged both candidates, just saying that now is not the time to be "too busy to participate" in your real job.

I agree with you.  But now is also not the time for political grand-standing.  Even members of his own party intonate he's a distraction.

I know, maybe Obama should have held a press conference to announce he was GOING TO WASHINGTON like McCain did so he could announce his presence with authority.

One is playing politics and grandstanding and one showed up at the Whitehouse without fanfare. You tell me who is doing his job and who is not.

Any Senator NOT in Washington until this settled is NOT doing their JOB.  People elected them to be Senators, not to run for POTUS.  Campaigning is NOT their JOB.  If a deal is not reached today, other members of Congress currently up for election will have to stay in DC and delay campaigning.

So should they.

So, is saying 'I support what the members of my party have put forth' (paraphrasing) doing your job?

That kind of crap can be done on the phone or via a presser.  Sounds to me like political grandstanding.

Surprise, surprise

When you support the proposal that your party is putting forth, saying that you support that proposal sounds like common sense.

What would you have liked him to do?  Pull out a gun and start demanding people support a proposal they don't believe in?

These two yahoos are only PART of the process, they DONT sit at the head of the table.  There is a president still in office if you recall, and if I remember correctly I think I saw him in the room yesterday.

BTW, what epiphany did Obama bring to the discussion yesterday?

Probably "Mr. President, calm down, turn it over, the proposal is written on the other side of that piece of paper.

Okay, now that's funny, I don't care who you are.

Are you wanting them to go to Washington and stand around doing nothing until a compromise makes it out of committee for them to vote on?  THAT'LL be an effective use of time and energy.

They were asked by the President and Paulson to be involved in the process.  Will they dominate the discussions, of course not.  Will they be involved in other ways?  Only time will tell

If the President asks you to be involved in a major policy discussion, you do it.

Wow, Bush sure didn't get any of that kind of consideration from Dims on 9/11 or Katrina.

I can still barely remember when the office commanded respect, regardless who the bozo was sitting in the Oval Office. []
