Looks like Obama is more concerned about being on message than being in washington when the most important vote and legisilation this century is being worked on.

Obama supporter and chief debate negotiator Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., told MSNBC that "we can handle both," when asked about his reaction to McCain's call to postpone the first debate because of the administration's bailout plan.

He believes they are making good progress on Capitol Hill on the bailout and his initial reaction is that the work on the Hill should not preclude the debate from taking place.

An Obama campaign official told ABC News the Democratic presidential candidate called McCain this morning to suggest a joint statement of principles.

McCain called back this afternoon and suggested returning to Washington.

Obama is willing to return to Washington "if it would be helpful." But reiterated Obama intends to debate on Friday.

well he did say he'd return to washington "if it was helpful"...

lol


clearly its not.

PRESENT!!!!

Well, I'm still waiting to hear an official campaign statement from Obama.

Oh man, should I...?

I think I'm gonna....

"Well, I'm still waiting to hear an official campaign statement from Obama."

Typical. Liberal. Democrat.

Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., told MSNBC that "we can handle both," when asked about his reaction to McCain's call to postpone the first debate because of the administration's bailout plan.


THAT is official.

I mean, that's his official representitive what more do you want?

lol
yup.

Rueben's still big boned.


And what of 'Scranton Joe'...?!?!?

that one guy IS HIS DEBATE NEGOTIATOR, he is exactly the guy makeing the official statment about Obama's position on the debate happening/or not.

If abidcating your responsiblity to the country and economy's well being isn't important, then you are so in the tank for Obama its laughable.

"I believe that we should continue to have the debate," Obama said. "It's my belief that this is exact time when the American people need to hear form the person who in approximately 40 days will be responsibly for dealing with this mess and I think that it is going to be part of the president’s job to deal with more than one thing at once."

Obama said that unlike McCain, he will not suspend ads, or campaign events scheduled between now and Friday's debate.

"I think it's very important that the American people see the people who potentially could be in charge of this problem within the next couple of months and so my attitude is that we need to be focused on solving the problems, as I have been," Obama said. "It's also important that we communicate where we need to go in getting us out of the situation."

Obama said he will stay in Florida for the time being and will not return to Washington unless asked by Congressional leadership.

VS MCCAIN saying he is going to take the initiative to PROVIDE leadership NOW, at the expense of his campaing possibly, to make some tough calls, calls that might cost him votes (as he did when he supported the wildly succesful surge that was unpopular).

America FIRST.

Obama wasn't and isn't planning to be present or part of the most important economic legislation in our lifetimes, because harry told him to sit on the sidelines, because this is a TOUGH call to make, and its a no win situation for congress.

AKA - PRESENT.


McCain is willing to put his campain on the line, make a tough call, DO HIS JOB as a party leader and Senator and let the chips fall where they may.

Gutys. esp since McCain LEADS in all battleground states and has more electoral votes by today's polling.

He has nowhere to go but down.

Big Brass Balls.

It's political grandstanding. Plain and simple.

Plain and simple.

"Look dog - stop pretending like you are "independent, shopping around"."

Ah yes. I always love that response.

Basically righties and lefties seem to think that anyone who does toe their party line MUST be a supporter of the other side.

I get it a lot from lefties when I -dare- criticize Obama. And apparently I'm gonna get it from the right too.

Same Shit. Different Piles.

What bothers me abour Obama's news conference is he said something like, The American people should see the men who in some 40 days will be responsible for dealing with this problem.

As a senator, who does Obama think is responsible for dealing with it NOW ????????

Hey Dog you dummy, Bill Clinton agrees its not a political stunt.


lol

you don't care if you have numbers and facts.

you dont draw your own conclusions.

you don't belive it if a republican says it.

you don't belive it if a democract says the same thing.

you're brain no workie doggie.

Flex those e-muscles more, Failhouse.

I'm sure you can become commander of the 101st Fighting Keyboard Commandos if you really try.

fact - Dog is a logically challenged
fact - Dog will say the world is flat if I say it is round
fact - Dog is a pussy who when faced with the SAME information from CM, cowers in the shadows of loserville

this is too much fun.

Do i owe anyone for this much of a good time? it can't be free.

SMARMY. use it!

"fact - when doggies brain hurts and can't come up with a logical statment, he resorts to ad hominem attacks and clever witicism like "failhouse"."

Milhouse the hypocrite speaks. Don't talk to me about attacks, sport. You've been launching personal attacks at me since about halfway through that other thread.

And you want to talk about being a coward? Being a coward is calling someone a pussy from behind the keyboard.

You're just pissed and butt hurt because I'm not gonna give in to your bullshit. And it's showing in your increasingly irrational comments.

No, let's see some more of that Milhouse E-rage. It amuses me.

yawn.

arguing with dog is like, well, arguing with a dog.

Obama thought he could swarmy his way into the Presidency....
