The moment Obama outclassed Mccain completely and changed the race in his favour, while mccain tried to look a maverick and suspend his campaighn Obama stood back and calmly says candidates should be able to multitask. mccain looked a fool running around and Obama looked every inch the president.
What Obama is really saying is that "I can vote PRESENT as often as I can, my Senate record shows I voted PRESENT on 134 important issues. Whereas I could have voted Yeah or Nay.
I'm your man. Well I'm something... aren't I. I'm not a legal US Citizen, but I'm trying to keep that under wraps. Uhmmm aaaaa, errrrr Did I say that out loud?"
If you all really listened to what was said you would realize that Obama was keeping informed of what was being discussed by the committee that was formed to work on the problem. A lot of senators, R and D said that having McCain there wasn't helpful at all and actually caused a major distraction.
Obama made a good point when he pointed out that a President needs to work on more than one thing at a time. He was in Washington when it came time to vote and talking to the major players before.
Well isn't Obama Presidential. I find it hard to believe that Americans are so stupid to back a candidate for President who first says, "this is the worst economic crisis since the Depression" then says, "call me if you need me and I'll be there." Evidently he listens to Motown music.
Call you what? Say and do anything for a vote Obama? What the hell would Obama know about banking and the economy? This guy has be a damn politician for the past 12 years and a Community Organizer selling Kool Aid on the corner.
Call you?! hey how bout you act presidential and go to washington and do your job like mccain decided to do you moron. o wait you don't know how to do your job. POLITICAL HACK!
Ain't no mountain high enough...GIVE ME A BREAK. This is change alright- I don't think we've ever had a president who said if you need me call me. For the good of our country vote McCain/Palin.
First this was the "most serious challenge since the great depression". Then it was "call me if you need me" [to vote on whatever pig you've pushed through the grinder] What a leader!
"This is not the Financial Crisis I thought I could take a pass on"
" I know my homeboy Chris Dodd will cover my ass & get me some of this money on the side,so I don't want to appear as if I am a part of this democratic scheme" what a lazy ass!!! I am a democrat & could see through this scheme. John McCain went to Washington to get the crooks some national attention & try to get an honest deal for the country.Why is Chris Dodd the banking chairman??He is the biggest CROOK there is. with his secret home loan from countrywide & funds from Fannie/Freddie???
Uh-bama's experience with money comes from a slum he gave Tony Rezko money to create, a teaching initiative where he gave millions to Billy Ayers to not teach reading and math but to create Marxist activists, and whatever money he got back from Rezko to buy his mansion. D'oh!
Hasn't he been studying for 3 days now for the debates? Why is he not in Washington trying to fix this problem? When was the last time he did his Senator job? Does Ill. have a voice? Who the heck is this guy? He's acting like a celebrity.
Call me if you need me? How very Presidential. And no, Presidents need to learn to prioritize. Considering the threat level of a credit collapse in this country I want senators giving it their full attention when they deliberate on this bill.
You don't watch TV while you're performing surgery; you don't write a speech while you're closing a deal; you don't have a sandwich while you're busy disarming a bomb.
Well, sorry, they don't need you. What's needed is someone who can work with people across the aisle, not another "present" vote. And don't suspend campaigning. That's your main job -- your "executive experience". If you suspend it, what else are you going to do?

Make perfect sense to me on this issue no need to have presidential politics in the senate, would make the bill harder to pass.
And if you are against the bill, please show me a viable alternative to keep our economy afloat. We are bailing out home owners here no wall street.

i really hope the mccain camp nails him for this one.
