4. I have the perfect official response for team Obama to put out:
"uh, ok John. Sure, whatever. Just tell us when you'd like to make time, we'll be there."

6. It will be interesting to see what ObamaTeam
does say about this. I think the debate can be squeezed in and still work on the financial crisis.

mccain was part of the problem so he sure as hell isn't going to be part of the solution.

5. McCain knows that debating Obama...
...when Obama has all of the momentum--is dangerous.

He also knows that Obama is a stellar debater.

I'm not worried about this. Obama will handle this brilliantly.

My opinion is that Obama needs to tell McCain that he needs to learn
to multitask a bit better, "Whatsamatter Senator? Can't handle more
than one thing at once?"

What a cowardly crock of shit McCain is.

11. I agree, "Obama will handle this brilliantly."

Why not hold the debate in D.C.?

13. Yes, that's a great idea...
Have the debate in DC.

Obama will deliver a beautiful response. He always does.

These Republican antics always end up producing amazing opportunities
for Obama.

Obama will not disappoint.

8. Do you mean he is unable to effectively do his job as a Senator AND campaign?
Edited on Wed Sep-24-08 02:02 PM by youthere
How sad. How does he ever hope to keep up with the demands of the presidency?

10. Of course Gramps wants to postpone the debate
He's changed his fucking positions so many times in the last year that even he doesn't know what the Hell he's going to say at the debate! :rofl:

12. It's a total trap! If Obama stays away, he looks like he's not taking charge
or doesn't want to fix the crisis. If he comes back, he looks like he's following McSame...

He's playing politics!!!!

Making it seem like he's taking a leadership position on the economy.

Obama needs to take charge of this NOW!!!
