    John McCain sucks at multi-tasking

    http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09...-with-bailout/

    McCain is suspending his campaign, wants to postpone the debate and intends to head back to Washington to help with the financial crisis. I'm sure they can't wait to have him there helping.

    Of course if and when Obama, says, "naw, let's go ahead and do this debate", McCain and his staff will try and paint BHO as unamerican, unpatriotic or whatever. I don't see why exactly it is they can't work in Washington, go to Mississippi for the debate and then get back? I mean the first debate is on foreign policy, McCain knows more about that than any human maybe ever. Why does he need to prep for it?

    Sheesh, Johnny!
    Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.

    Pure positioning and political posturing, plain and simple. I would have said the exact same thing if Obama did it.

    Now is not the time to inject presidential politics to the bailout.

    Re: John McCain sucks at multi-tasking

    Obama has refused to postpone the debate, and the election folks say it will go as scheduled. McCain has not said whether he will show up or not, raising the possibility that Obama will be up on stage, debating all alone.

    Does that make him a masterdebater?

    THESE ARE THE JOKES PPL!!!1

    Re: John McCain sucks at multi-tasking

    Is Obama planning on throwing the president out of the White House the day after the election? Has a president-elect ever attempted a coup before? That would be some sweet TV. I thought the new president wasn't sworn in until January.

    "It's my belief that this is exactly the time when the American people need to hear from the person who, in approximately 40 days, will be responsible for dealing with this mess," Obama said at a news conference in Clearwater, Fla. "It's going to be part of the president's job to deal with more than one thing at once."

    Rush, no offense, but there is such thing as a valued opinion, and an unvalued one. I'm pretty liberal, I don't deny or hide it, but I do know a thing or two about process, policy, and administration . As such, there are a number of conservatives on this board who can come up with an original thought and teach me a thing or two about a thing or two, all while managing to be civil. You're not one of them.

    So, back to the original topic, the debates happen and everybody forgets this ploy in a week.

    Re: John McCain sucks at multi-tasking

    Who says it's a ploy?

    Last time I checked, John McCain is still a senator. Barack Obama, too. And there's some pretty intense work and debate shakin' down right now in the Senate in regards to the bailout.

    Regardless of who threw down the gauntlet, is it not BOTH of their jobs to get off their nuts and get in the mix for their respective electorates? Instead of shilling for the presidency?
    People don't know what it is to be a champion.

    Oklahoma INVENTED it.

    This is actually pretty truthful. The president-elect forms an administration and works pretty much day to day with the current administration.

    The last time this didn't happen was 1860, it didn't pan out well.

    Dammit. A president-elect coup would be a lot more entertaining.

    Re: John McCain sucks at multi-tasking

    McCain is one of the best there is at working both sides of the aisle. I don't care for his politics, but that guy's been making a living at getting deals like this through.

    People are in such a rush to love one and hate the other that they can't see the craploads of gray in these matters.

    If Obama wants to pimp himself on the trail while the economy goes into the crapper then it could be his own career he's throwing away.

    Well, this isn't just any bill that Congress is creating. And if Obama suggested the same thing, I'd give strong consideration to agreeing with him.

    Which is to say, I'm not completely sold on McCain's move here.

    Yeah. Gunfire on Pennsylvania Ave as the new regime rolled in. That would be so much cooler than watching a stupid inauguration.

    Hell yeah! Get some passion in our politics. Shoot some stuff! They're throwing shoes in India, and I KNOW we can top that weak sauce.

    Look, McCain knows that the whole shebang is in his lap. If he votes for this, repubs will follow suit. If he goes against it, so do the repubs and the bailout goes down in flames. Mr Obama can sit in the corner and cry all he wants. He and the dems are Mr. irrelevant right about now, and they know it. We all know which way they will go (socialize, socialize, socialize).

    Personally, i hope it fails. If it passes the Stk mkt get propped up and the dollar will plummet. If it fails the stk mkt plummets and the dollar gets some pressure taken off of it. Both will still fall. This just determines which one plummets further. But there is no good reason to straddle the American public with the debt.

    If this thing doesnt put some serious accountability back into whats going on in the financial markets, its yet another handout to those folks on the coasts that can't seem to realize that the american people aren't here to subsidize the stupidity and poor judgment.

    If it fails, think of all the financial types jumping to their death like '29. Lord knows we need more folks that actually do something to contribute to the economy and less that create paper shell companies that collapse and take all the hard working folks money with them. I'm kidding about the jumping thing (i think), but I hope that if it does pass we start stripping every exec that walked away from one of these companies of whatever funds they walked away with and put them in prison. They can also put the idiot congressmen that passed all these lax lending and accounting rules to go right along with them.

    If the bailouts die, it will be painful. But at least those of us that are fiscally responsible with our money won't be forced to pay for it (other than the loss of investment capital) and we won't be forced deeper into socialism.
    Socialism is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
