I suspect there are alot of Repubs thinking what if the India attacks had happened 1 month earlier.

[DCBob]

I wonder how that would have played out. I am sure McCain would have tried to make political hay out of it, but I doubt it would have made any difference.

1. I have a friend who thinks there will be a "crisis".....

And Bush will declare martial law, keeping the presidency for another nine months.

[dansolo]

7. Bush can't wait for his presidency to end

There is no way that Bush wants to stick around.

[Nay]

9. Is your friend joking? Bush can hardly wait to get the hell out of there.

Even a dim bulb like him can sense he's a turd in the punchbowl.

[Frank Cannon]

25. I think that if he were given the choice...

he would have a fleet of Mayflower moving vans at the White House at midnight tonight.

[DCBob]

26. Clearly Bush has checked out and counting the days.

Obama is trying to save the world while Bush is pardoning a turkey.

2. after someone informed Palin where Mumbai was

she would have gone on international TV saber-rattling the Indians. She'd never apologize for having gotten it wrong, either, just say "and there, too, with them wanting the democracy following there the people who are desiring of their government to put aside there and get movin in the not looking at which side you're on or whether someone got the name of the terrorists right because we're all terrorists there and again, as I've said, just gettin in there and helpin'..."

and POOOOOOF bright flash all gone

[DCBob]

3. Well said -- as only Sarah could!

:)

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

4. Mooselini couldn't find India, much less Mumbai,

if it were the only country on the map in front of her.

[FarCenter]

18. Indians? We have Indians in Alaska.

[onetwo]

11. Not a single "also?"

[CitizenPatriot]

13. so right

edited to add:

"also the american people just really desiring of putting forth their, in the way, and again, we're just gettin in there and findin out who did what and who we can, again, not to throw blame around...and also the media, there, has been a source of ..not gettin things right also. but again, the public just wantin it and sayin hey, also...It's not mean spirited, again. It's findin out who I spend time with, also, when the public deserves to know, just askin those questions, also that John the Public Librarian wants to know, there. Also...havin a super time."

Cue the slaughter in the BG.

[Window]

22. Damn. You speak Palinese very well. LOL!

[CitizenPatriot]

23. It's all about the mind set

Ha ha...as in, none. Also a great way to vent irritations there also (but once I get rollin, I can't stop). You should hear me at parties. Whole new way to lose friends and alienate people.


I may need a Palin Vaccination. (That's gotta hurt)

[Clio the Leo]

5. Nope. McCain proved his lack of leadership in times of crisis.

He could have "experienced" flying every plane in the Navy and it would not have helped him.

A cool head and a deliberate hand will get you a long way in life.

[DCBob]

6. Hr probably would have suspended his campaign canceled all debates and press conferences...

and airdropped into Mumbai -- "My friends we must fight the terrorists over there so they don't fight us over here!"

[AllentownJake]

8. If he acted in any way like he did during the beginning of the financial crisis

Add 2 points and 3 states to Obama's total.

[IndianaGreen]

10. Obviously it was GAWD's will that Obama be President

The Mumbai attacks are related to the ancient conflict in Kashmir.

[Sebastian Doyle]

12. Well then it's obvious who President Obama should send in there as "special envoys"

..... Led Zeppelin! :evilgrin:

14. I admit I didn't know where Mumbai was when I first heard the news.

but I'm not running for national office.

[Occam Bandage]

15. Nope. McCain proved himself incapable of handling a crisis. nt

[rug]

16. He would have suspended his campaign and condemned the violence in Indiana.

[Cleita]

17. Is it possible that the terrorists postponed the attack until after the election

so that McCain wouldn't be able to use it to get elected? Maybe they thought McCain would have escalated the war in Afghanistan to northern Pakistan, where they believe the Al Queda terrorists are hiding and that wouldn't be good for their agenda to be on the run again.

[FarCenter]

19. More likely it is timed to reverse improving India-Pakistan relations

The new Pakistan government has been making noises about improving relations with India.

Some of Obama's comments have been directed to solving the Kashmir problem.

The Kashmiri Muslims and their supporters don't want this to happen.

[MadBadger]

20. It crossed my mind

[totodeinhere]

21. I don't think it would have made any difference in the election's outcome. n/t

[WinkyDink]

24. It would have shown then what it now shows: the Bush Regime is incompetent.

[dascientist]

27. Obama "predicted" the attacks on O'reilly aka Pakistans vs. India
