Sounds like McCain is putting the campaign and not country first.

It appears to be a perfect example of the "leadership" the left has been clamoring about. Obama fell right in line behind McCain and is being led to Washington to try to straighten this mess out. |

Actually it was Obama who called McCain to issue a joint statement on the issue, which it appears that they agreed to do, then an hour later McCain makes the announcement that he was going to suspend his campaign.
Then he tells David Leterman he had to cancel his appearance because he has to fly immediately to Washington, but instead spends the afternoon with an interview. Letterman was obviously ticked off, the video is pretty funny.
They are both headed to Washington now because President Bush asked that they come.
I think your opinion might be based on bad intel.

So its Obama putting campaign first, because above you said it was McCain. |

Ok, an official McCain spokeperson is on TV right now claiming the just reach bi-partisan agreement on the framework for the bail out bill was a result of McCain's suspending of his campaign.
He didn't seem to care when told that even Republicans had commented the discussion was already bi-partisan and going well before McCain's action.
This doesn't just smell like a stunt, it's screaming of one.

You take this guy off the teleprompter or lead him off subject he is going to get slaughtered. The Dems know it, the Republicans know it. He is an accident waiting to happen when he is working without a net.
It is actually really stunning since he does so well when he is prepped and comfortable. He just doesn't think on his feet well. The debates should be really interesting.

Actually no, it doesn't...
It appears that Obama was looking for a unified voice, rather, McCain set off on his own.

That's what Obama's camp implies happened. McCain's camp has a different story. Do you listen to Obama speak. He can never give credit to anyone but himself, for anything. He just ignores what happened and plugs himself. Wow, love is blind. |

why is it you take the Obama story as truth and not McCains? As JR stated, his statment was a confusing bumble of words, I have no reason to believe one over the other. Seriously though, Obama needs to learn to speak off the cuff. This resposne and the report last week of the teleprompter at a state fair is embarrasing.
His mis-speaking would make great comedy along the lines of Bush and Ford, but we all know we cant make fun of him. |
