1. More information, please: was it a slam against McCain...
or was the "move against Obama" presented in a "he-man" kind of way, complimenting McCain?

14. Who loses the money?
It was to be at a university. Were they charging for tickets? Otherwise, it's just hotels and restaurants and surely this qualifies as enough of a crisis to warrant giving in on that.

4. he's right....Obama says he asked McCain for joint statement on bailout
Obama says he asked McCain for joint statement on bailout

By Russ Britt
Last update: 3:24 p.m. EDT Sept. 24, 2008
LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Sen. Barack Obama said Wednesday that he plans to issue a joint statement with his rival for the presidency, Sen. John McCain, on a $700 billion bailout plan for the nation's financial system. Obama said he called McCain this morning to ask if he would join him in issuing a joint statement, and McCain called him back at mid-afternoon to agree to it. "The two campaigns are currently working together on the details," Bill Burton, Obama's press secretary, said in a prepared statement. McCain has released prepared remarks saying he plans to suspend his campaign to deal with the crisis and wants to postpone a debate scheduled for Friday with Obama in Mississippi.

5. McCain is in trouble if even Fox is calling him out on this desperate move.

10. In cahoots with BushCo. to FORCE a quick resolution to a *very complex* problem.
Remember The Patriot Act also had to be done RIGHT NOW. Congress can meet next week - if this is so damn important that not finishing it may usher in another Depression, then Congress can damn well MAKE TIME to hold full sessions all next week.

12. He actually laughed at McCain's actions!
I broke my no faux rule because I wanted to know how in the hell they were going to spin this crap and they didn't! Smith even discussed how suspending the debate is very disruptive because networks already carved out time, the location and logistics have already been made, etc.

I was absolutely stunned.
