Enjoy!!

Where's the one where McHoover is leading us into a depression?

His shenanigans on this bailout shows what a costly leader he would be.

Besides, he's also using the opportunity to skip out on the debate......leaving the only alternative to replacing this one with the veep debate in order to get Palin out of the noose.....

See through it.....

McCain is putting country first, Obama is putting Obama first.
Obama says were are going into a depression, but isn't doing anything to try to fix it. He is voting 'Present' like he has so many times before.

McCain is grandstanding, plain and simple.

"Have to rush back to Washington"..my donkey.

He bails on Letterman with a lie, then doesn't show until this morning, and obviously the joint meeting with McSameBush was a political photo-op.

Some of his aisle-mates even think he's grandstanding....

By the way, McCain has a worse attendance record in the Senate than Obama, so that crap about coming back to the Senate to save the world is hooey.

McCain is inserting presidential politics into one of the biggest crisis we have faced in decades.  His assertion that he and only he can "fix" this problem, and broker an agreement is nothing but political posturing.  Obama is being presidential; McCain sees an opportunity for a political ploy.

Oh really, let's see, who just this morning characterized this financial crisis as a "security" issue? Oh yeah, that flaming right wing nut job Bill Clinton.

As far as presidential politics go, last I checked both Obama and McCain were still U.S. Senators, elected to represent their constituencies. You might think Obama is acting presidential, but McCain is acting senatorial--which is still his job.

I disagree, McCain is the one acting like he is already POTUS.  And he isn't.  He wants the world to stop and go to Washington DC with him so he can play Captain America.  All he is doing is mucking things up because he has no idea what needs to be done beyond taking a few pictures of himself looking presidential.  And the person he has chosen as his vice-presidential cohort has no idea how to answer a few simple questions that K. Couric asks.  The Republican party is hurting hard.  Talking heads Pfhoutenohour or how ever you spell her name and Bounds must wake up with a headache every morning.  Are we seeing our very own Titanic heading for the ice fields?

If you believe that, then you believe Sarah Palin when she said "Thanks, but no thanks" to the bridge to nowhere...

You really have no clue about Obama or the use of "present" votes in the state senate of Illinois.... Obama voted "present" one out of every 31 votes... that means Obama voted "present" on 3.2% of his votes in the Illinois Senate...

http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/01/24/fact_check_obamas_present_votes/

THE SPIN: Obama portrays himself as someone voters can trust to tell the truth and skip the usual political games. Clinton and John Edwards are using his "present" votes to offer a different picture -- one of Obama ducking tough issues or refusing to support common-sense legislation.

THE FACTS: Obama acknowledges that over nearly eight years in the Illinois Senate, he voted "present" 129 times. That was out of roughly 4,000 votes he cast, so those "presents" amounted to about one of every 31 votes in his legislative career.

http://www.stateline.org/live/details/story?contentId=274863

The two main rivals of Illinois' U.S. Sen. Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination accused him during a debate Monday (Jan. 21) of ducking important votes by voting "present" about 130 times during his eight years in the Illinois Senate.

But Obama's former colleagues who still serve in the Illinois Capitol say that the attacks are off-base and that either Obama's opponents don't understand how things work in Springfield or they are deliberately distorting his record.

"To insinuate the 'present' vote means you're indecisive, that you don't have the courage to hold public office, that's a stretch. But, it's good politics," said state Rep. Bill Black (R), a 22-year veteran of the House and his party's floor leader.

Just to recap the sequence of the past two weeks:

1.  McCain says the fundamentals of the economy are strong.  Doesn't go over so well.
2.  McCain says as president he would fire Cox, even though a president can't really do that, and conservatives really like Cox.
3.  McCain says he agrees in principal to the Paulson proposal.
4.  McCain admits he hasn't read the three-page proposal by Paulson.
5.  McCain says the economy is in crises and he is suspending his campaign to go help resolve the situation.
6.  The Senate reaches an bipartisan agreement in principal to rescue the American economy.
7.  McCain arrives at Washington.
8.  The agreement falls apart.

Last but not least, Washington Mutual, largest bank failure occurs.

Good job, McCain.  Way to be presidential--like Bush, only worse.

Where in the world is Sarah Palin during all of this......?
She has the experience of managing the budget of Alaska right..?

Let's hear from Sarah...! What ideas does she have.??



"IN MY COUNTRY, EVEN THE TALIBAN ALLOWS WOMEN TO BE SEEN AND HEARD MORE THAN YOU."


I forgot..... Sarah just gives good face

Add in 5. A. Campaign suspension amounts to cancelling a single interview on Letterman.  Other interviews, speeches, surrogate appearances, and ad buys continue on unabated.

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.
