In case you don’t understand it, let me put it this way:  John answered the 3 am call.

Republicans had rebelled against the idea of a bailout, mainly on principle, not wanting to use taxpayer money to subsidize market stupidity. McCain, being the party leader now, needed to provide leadership and also to work a bill into something that would be more palatable for Republicans in Congress to support, even with reluctance.

It also puts an interesting light on his offer to Barack Obama to return with him to Washington. Having been told of Paulson’s request, McCain decided to return — but then offered to have Obama return with him in order to make it an election-neutral decision.  McCain even offered to suspend the campaign.  Obama refused, and McCain went back by himself. Bush then summoned Obama back to keep Democrats from backing away from a bill they have supported over the last few days.  If McCain can succeed in getting changes in the bill with the points he has been making from the campaign trail, he can put his own stamp on this bill and have yet another example of his work as a crisis manager and bipartisan reformer.

This is a case of life imitating art, if one can describe campaign ads as such.  Hillary Clinton’s campaign put out an ad stating that Obama wasn’t ready to answer a 3 AM call during a crisis.  This call may not have literally come at 3 AM, but clearly Obama wasn’t ready to lead.  McCain, on the other hand, understood the nature of the call and responded appropriately.

For those of you that wish to tell me that being on Letterman is more important than understanding what you will inherit as POTUS, do not bother to leave comments.

Obama is a senator in case you have forgotten.  He should be in Washington DC on his own accord.  Instead, he must be summoned.  Pathetic.  Speaking via satellite?  Are you kidding me?  John McCain is very strong on foreign policy.  The debate is just a debate.

Look at these two and how they move.  If you went to the ER in the midst of a heart attack, I can tell you who would act and who would set up a million test before acting.

As of Thursday morning, we are not as close to a bill as we have been led to believe.  As far as I am concerned, the One can debate himself. Sounds appropriate since he has been mentally masturbating for three days in Florida.

Harry Reid, you pompous and arrogant ass.  You need everyone to help on this.  WTF are you thinking?  You said “McCain we don’t need you now.”  The Dems made this hole and the Repubs helped with the digging.  You are all needed to remedy this situation.  In case you forgot, this is YOUR job!

About the Fair Housing b*s*?  That is not needed.  Stop pandering.  This is the root of all this mess.
