They are calling Obama to Washington to control his response

[debbierlus]

They are trying to keep Obama under control. They are trying to create the illusion of bipartisanship decision. They are trying to
keep Obama from rallying the American people from the issue that has finally united us.

I hope Obama can stand up to these people, and use this to expose them for the frauds and cowards that they are...

Obama PLEASE. FIGHT BACK.

[seabeyond]

1. i think they are also calling him to validate mccains announcement of going to dc

i havent been disappointed in obama. he has ALWAYS managed to say the right thing. i have confidence....

fight back

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

17. I'd love to be a fly on the wall during the meeting of Barack, McKeating5 and Der ChimpenFuhrer..

[SmokingJacket]

2. can they really think they can control Obama?

It's so weird to invite him to the WH!!!

At least he can use the chance to make redecorating plans...

[NYC_SKP]

3. Yes they are...and watch for ways they'll try to keep him busy Friday night...

...and/or pressure the debate commission to cancel.

They're working on this shit 24/7.....oh yeah, it's code RED over on their side....

[Parker CA]

23. DING DING DING!!!

I've said this in some other threads. There is no other reason they are pulling this stunt except to derail the debates and to put Obama on the defensive and in a reactive position rather than offensive and proactive.

4. BIG mistake to attend that McCain campaign photo op.

Ugh. Democrats going along with this crap. Dammit.

[knowledgeispwr]

11. I think we're over-reacting

Going to a meeting with Bush, McCain, and Congressional leaders isn't going to hurt Obama. Obama will still go to the debate on Friday.

[geek tragedy]

12. It is if the bill passes afterwards and McCain gets

to play the Uniter Guy.

[deadparrot]

18. Why?

McCain didn't have anything to do with it, at least on the surface.

[geek tragedy]

19. Timing. Think about how they're setting this up.

Wednesday: Republicans declare de facto impasse, crisis, need for breakthrough in negotiations.

Thursday: Big pow-wow at White House at the suggestion of John McCain.

Friday: Bill passes, Republicans and LIEberman gush about how McCain brought people together. Media types talk about how McCain made things happen.

Ugh.

[deadparrot]

24. Again, McCain didn't suggest the White House field trip.

Ostensibly, it was Bush.

[geek tragedy]

27. Everyone will know that it was McCain's idea. n/t

[deadparrot]

30. May I have a glance in your crystal ball when you're finished with it? nt

[alcibiades_mystery]

20. Oy, gewalt

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

5. OBAMA SUPPORTS IT. WHY IS THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND?

Sheeesh.

[geek tragedy]

13. Why would he support what amounts to a Bush-hosted

campaign photo op for McCain?

[deadparrot]

6. Oh, for fuck's sake.

:eyes:

[Solomon]

7. The truth is, they can't do it without Obama.

[vaberella]

8. That may be the case...but Obama is holding all the cards and they know it.

He's going through with the debate and will leave on Thursday night. McCain will have to give or look like an idiot.

[RepublicanElephant]

9. bring a food-tester, barack!

:yoiks:

[Willo]

22. Better yet, eat before you arrive

[Neshanic]

10. Of course. He will be in the belly of the beast.

[Doctor_J]

14. Yes, they're doing it to suspend HIS campaign as well

this was the worst week yet for Dracula and Caribou Barbie. They're doing the only thing they can do - force him to stop trouncing the old dirt bag for a little while

[Arkana]

15. Biden's still out there--if there's a vote, I expect he'll return to DC

but he's not exactly incapable.

[uppityperson]

16. He is standing up to them. Did you hear his response today?

It was very good. He is a smart and savy man.

[stillcool]

21. I think it's a great idea..

it's not just Bush II, Bush III, and Obama. I think it's a great idea to have the smartest guy in the room.

[BuyingThyme]

25. You make a very average point.

[babylonsister]

26. Disagree.

The only reason the dim one is asking for a meet between McShame and Obama is because McShame suggested it.

28. Now that your ahead a little bit in this race Obama....

Pull over... pit stop it Obama... you need an oil change Obama... you need to rotate your hoofs Obama...McSame wants to saddle up on the piggy bank breaking!

He better fight back... we have OUR CAUSE, and McSame has HIS CAUSE. Our cause is for Obama to continue on so he can keep the little lead he has, to win this race.

Timeout? Who was fowled Senator Obama?

31. Cave in as compared to what?

The man "needs" to win this election. What do you think he should do differently? What has he done you disapprove of, besides create problems when he has enough of his own?

Most people don't even know what a neocon is.
