Hookbender — Sep 25, 2008McCain has tried to have debates with Obama for some time, Obama refused.
Hookbender — Sep 25, 2008Or is he thinking at all? Obama rejects McCain's invite to Washington? He is playing right into the hands of McCain. His campaign manager needs to be fired or Obama should just say it...."fuck it, I give up"," I'm confused". ;D
He is blowing his own chances with hardhead ignorance, imo.

"We now have between House and Senate Democrats an agreement on what we think should be in the bill, and we have a meeting scheduled at 10 a.m. tomorrow to meet with the Republicans," said Frank, chairman of the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee.
Proponents of a rescue plan have expressed hope that a bill could be delivered to Bush within days.
While the Bush administration had asked Congress for $700 billion for an unprecedented Wall Street bailout, Frank said that amount might not be delivered all at once.
"One tranche doesn't work," he said, adding that "safeguards" were needed.
Frank said there would be tough congressional oversight of as well as limits on compensation packages for executives of companies that receive federal relief.
The Massachusetts senator said a limited number of details still had to be resolved, but thought it could be done quickly. These matters involved bankruptcy protections for families on the verge of losing their homes and giving the government a return on its money if the company being helped prospers.
Frank took a dig at Republican presidential nominee John McCain, who interrupted his campaign to return to Washington on Thursday to help work on a Wall Street bailout.
"All of sudden, now that we are on the verge of making a deal, John McCain here drops himself in to help us make a deal, Frank said.
He expressed fear that McCain, a U.S. senator from Arizona who has spent much of the year away from the Capitol campaigning, could end up slowing down work on the bill.
The Massachusetts Democrat noted that a meeting on Capitol Hill on Thursday will be interrupted for a "photo op" at the White House with congressional Democrats and Republicans as well as Bush.
"We're trying to rescue the economy, not the McCain campaign," Frank said.
"Earlier today it became clear to me we would get the votes to pass this bill," Frank told CNBC in an earlier interview. He said it could take a few days to craft final legislation.
Hookbender — Sep 25, 2008Isn't it kinda funny that McCain says he's going to Washington to do his job at a time of huge crises in the U.S., invites Obama to join him, Obama refuses and says Bush can call him at anytime if he's needed....hours later, Bush calls him and tells him to get his ass to Washington and do your fucking job. ;D ;D ;D Who's gonna make him do his job when he's President? ;D
Such drama. Damn.

It's not clear what, exactly, McCain is going to do in Washington. He doesn't sit on any of the relevant committees, and everyone is already deep in negotiations. Still, he's coming anyway. It doesn't make much logical sense. The only way to understand it is politically: In a presidential campaign, the surest sign that a candidate is playing politics on an issue is when he claims not to be playing politics on an issue. The only way for McCain to convince everyone that his intentions are 100 percent pure is for him to drop out of the race completely. A campaign doesn't endand its distracting affects don't disappearjust because one candidate says so.
It's hard to believe that McCain's actions would pass his own laugh test. In fact, he's often snickered at his fellow senators who come in at the eleventh hour to lend a hand after McCain has done the hard work. But the McCain campaign is past caring about how journalists (or colleagues) view his moves. He hopes the rest of the country will see this as a leadership moment.
Even though McCain said he had to suspend his campaign and rush back to Washington, he stayed in New York on Thursday morning to give a speech to former President Bill Clinton's Global Initiative meeting.
Hookbender — Sep 25, 2008Calm down Rambo. I was only joking around. Shit man.
McCain is clearly playing around trying to look good. The real person who fucked this up for McCain is Bush by calling Obama and asking him to join. And McCain said he was gonna speak at the Clinton thingy in his original press conference. Obama and McCain are suppose to arrive tonight or late this afternoon. Can't the fucker stop and eat a decent lunch somewhere? ;D Like Paris or something? ;D
Obama isn't in a big hurry either it seems....I guess he had to go pray with Rev. Wright before seeing the President. ;D ;D You know Father fuckhead through a shoulder out of socket while preaching in Chicago. He may have visited him before the President....yeah, that's it. ;D ;D ;D He stoped by the hospital to see Father fuckhead. I also heard he picked up $10 to $20,000 from his adviser....travel change ya know. ;D ;D
Hookbender — Sep 26, 2008The last I heard he sat and listened to what the hell was going on. He was being informed. I think this decision deserves a 43 minute thinking time out, don't you? Is there something wrong with being advised of the situation now?

They have a problem with tax payers having to bail out these big companies, among other things. So do I!

pickmaster60 — Sep 27, 2008How am I incorrect?
As ar as I can tell,it is a derogotory term(made into a derogatory term by the right) used by the right wing.
A "label " conservatives use to poke fun of Dems.
Rush and Ann Coulter use it in a derogatory way.
McCain used it(liberal) in a derogatory way last night in the debates calling Obama the most liberal senator.

And no Trip, I'm not drunk and wasn't drunk at 7am in the morning. And I'm not embarrassed at all to have a different take on stuff than the bleeding heart liberals that consume the political arena here.
