Bailout? John McCain bailed out on himself, his supporters and America.
Author: Raine
Date: 09/24/2008 23:27:49
No debate, John? Is that what you want??? How is that 'Country First?'
I don't know if i can do this explanation justice, but it was brought to my attention (Stan!!!
) that John isn't prepared for the debate!!!
First, we need to establish a simple timeline of today's events... From Obama spokesperson, Bill Burton:
They agreed to issue a JOINT statement. OK, but hold on.... Around 3:00 pm this afternoon, (and the time is critical here) John McCain's campaign issued a statement saying that he was going to 'suspend' his campaign, and asked to have the debates canceled. He ALSO wants the Obama campaign to do the same. (what? suspend the campaign and/or the debates? )
Was this the bipartisan statement? It was not.
Here is what we know. Obama is a man who does his work every day, and when the days work is done, he studies every night (that is how he became the president of the Harvard Law Review; that is how he graduated at the top of his class... ).
Barack doesn't need to do a hell of a lot of prep work for the debates.
John McCain on the other hand... He was faced with losing Thursday and Friday as his days for prepping for the debate.
So - in light of losing the time he needed to prep for the debate, he chose to use the economic crisis as an excuse for skipping out of the debate. Seriously, think about it... if you were asked by the smartest person in your class to study with them, and you KNEW you had to cram to pass the test, would you say yes?
McCain bailed out on himself. He didn't study, and he is not prepared for the biggest test of his life, and that was, in part, issuing a JOINT statement with Barack Obama about joining together to comment about a critical moment on our economic history. It's no wonder he is trying to get out of the debate on Friday, his lack of understanding of the very basics he should have been studying and understanding all along has finally caught up with him. John McCain couldn't issue a joint statement because he doesn't know WHAT that statement was supposed to be about.
Come on... you and I have all been in a place where we didn't study enough... I was one of those crammers. I had to cancel social invitations because I REALLY REALLY had to study....
I was not, however, running for president. Do you remember those days? We were faced with failing or skipping the test... And some of us did indeed take SERIOUS measures to make sure that test would not happen. I know we have heard of a few stories of people pulling the fire alarm on the big day... or calling in a bomb threat... or maybe we claimed we were too sick to go to school...
That is what John McCain just did. He pulled the fire alarm because he is simply not ready for the test.
I don't know if i can do this explanation justice, but it was brought to my attention (Stan!!!
) that John isn't prepared for the debate!!!First, we need to establish a simple timeline of today's events... From Obama spokesperson, Bill Burton:
At 8:30 this morning, Senator Obama called Senator McCain to ask him if he would join in issuing a joint statement outlining their shared principles and conditions for the Treasury proposal and urging Congress and the White House to act in a bipartisan manner to pass such a proposal. At 2:30 this afternoon, Senator McCain returned Senator Obama’s call and agreed to join him in issuing such a statement. The two campaigns are currently working together on the details.

Fire alarm analogy - PERFECT! :clap:
Anyone else try something crazy to get themselves out of an exam? (I once purposefully rubbed poison ivy on myself -- and learned that I'm immune -- eep!)

So, Grampy also lied about his reason for bailing on Letterman to be on with Ms. Perky and got busted on that too. Is there anything he doesn't lie about?
But that does mean KO will be on tonight's Letterman.

You faked appendicitis? - To the level that the doc's performed an appendectomy? -- Oscar time. (with a scar as a statute)

I am getting dizzy 
with the hourly big news stories. Raine, I love that part about cramming to study - I was young back then, could it be that he realizes he is just too old and tired to do the necessary studying needed to be prepared for Friday? At least the Commission doesn't look like they will let him get away with that.
Aunt Azalea & Velveeta are busy getting popcorn and soda ready for the Friday night Presidential Debate "my friends" popcorn throwing game
(good to have a popcorn eating dog at the ready!).
Grampy better not let us down.

Biden f*cked up with Curic too -- and be honest, if Palin had made a statement that FDR was the president during the 1929 stock market crash and then went on T.V. to calm the nation, Dems would be ALL OVER her.

I think he has gotten lucky his whole life... I also think that yes, he needed to do EXTRA prep for Friday.
There is something about getting older... you aren't younger. :sarcasm:
I can t run as fast as my niece and nephew... for one simple reason, I am older... I can however run circles around them intellectually, for one simple reason, I study. I challenge them EVERY day.
John McCain can't do either of those things. Intellectualism is about paying attention, not running away. John McCain ran away.
So, you guys are having a debate party?
We are still trying to decide what to do. No matter what... the WiFi has to be there.
And he knows the debate is game over time.

Get this, McCain really blew it.
From HuffPo.
"In the middle of the taping Dave got word that McCain was, in fact just down the street being interviewed by Katie Couric. Dave even cut over to the live video of the interview, and said, "Hey Senator, can I give you a ride home?"
Earlier in the show, Dave kept saying, "You don't suspend your campaign. This doesn't smell right. This isn't the way a tested hero behaves." And he joked: "I think someone's putting something in his metamucil."
"He can't run the campaign because the economy is cratering? Fine, put in your second string quarterback, Sarah Palin. Where is she?"
"What are you going to do if you're elected and things get tough? Suspend being president? We've got a guy like that now!"

If what has been said is example, they are making an extra copy to mail copies to the wives. I guess they think they still have those "security moms" who will vote GOP to protect them from the big bad terrorists.

I have heard more in 5 minutes of ANY barack Obama speech than I heard tonite.
Seriously. Np regulations now, give the money NOW and we will figure out the why later. That is what I heard,
This was another stunning display of NEocon Talking points. PLEASE note... I did not include the Repubs.

Nope, Shane, that isn't convincing me.
I know what you are saying, but That doesn't work. At what point did Biden suggest that FDR was the president during the 1929 stock market crash?
Seriously, Where did he even imply that? When the Stock MArket crashed... Hoover was still in office... it was FDR who knew that he had to change things quickly in his campaign...
Shane.. Biden did not make a gaffe. I just don't see a screw up. I don't. FDR came into office with the depression well under way. FDR DID get onto TV and told America what happened.

Sorry guys. I do not see a Biden screw up. I see a right wing talking point, but he was dead on point.
In the mean time, Sarah Palin is talking about the next great depression.
Who am I supposed to trust more? (Shane, I am feeling my oats tonite... please forgive me... )
John McCain wants BOTH (he and BArack) to suspend their campaigns. John McCain is asking for America to give up our elections.

Hey, I'm with Raine on this. Joe was making the point that in a time of crisis, we need somebody calm, knowledgeble and *presidential* to talk to the nation and calm and reassure everyone.
Not somebody who is going to whine and postpone something else in a false display of bravado.

I guess it depends on what your definition of "when" is... :)
All I'm saying is that if Palin had made that statement - Left-Wing ideologues would have been ALL over it.
I'm NOT saying that Biden's gaffe (as I define it) in any way diminishes the vast gap in experience between the two VP nominees.

Well, except TV's weren't really available to Americans until the late 40's early 50's. Even then, the majority of America did not have TV's. They still relied on newsreels at the "moving pictures".
He fuct up imo. :(

Raine, I love ya, ya know i do, but i really got to disagree.
Whatever Biden meant, Whatever Biden thought. What came out sounded like "In 1929 FDR went on TV and..."
Besides the fact that TV wouldn't have been wide spread until the late 40's early 50's. FDR wasn't president until 1933.
I'm sorry but Biden screwed up, he sounded like an idiot, and I do agree with Shane-O if this was Palin we'd jump down her ass.
The only reason I don't is because well, Biden has earned some trust (and respect him) in me as a competent man who a mistake won't send me over the edge.
Palin is a Beauty Queen (runner-up) and I have no respect or trust in her.
That's for all zero of you out there right now...
