i dunno about that. like the palin pick, this is a distraction, and in that respect it's succeeded.

it'll take a week or two to claim any major fail or not. hopefully, it is.

The Palin pick was a positive move for his base, this was the total opposite.

 

[Vestal]

Daily show on soon, seriously Stewart doesn't need to talk at all, just show clips of todays events and that should be enough.

Seriously you couldn't make this stuff up. Sent the Palin interview to a Republican friend, and he is now voting for Obama it was the straw that broke the camels back for him that coupled with McCain over the past 2 weeks.. The words out of his mouth were pretty much JFC WTF.

 

[grandjedi6]

Changed

Lamonster NOOOO!!! The avatar size

 

[Suikoguy]

With Obama accepting the invitation to the white house.. sort of makes McCain's decision to suspend his campaign even stranger. It looks like McCain had no idea they would be both invited to a meeting.

The Daily Show is always a day late in their news

 

[Ether_Snake]

Yeah dumb people are going to think as such:

1- Bailout plan had been in talks for a week.
2- McCain puts campaign on hold and flies to Washington to get things done.
3- Bailout plan is changed, passes the next day.
4- McCain is a maverick, fixed the bill and made it all good and saved the economy.
5- Polls up for McCain.

UPDATE 2-US Democrats claim Wall St. bailout breakthrough

WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Democratic Rep. Barney Frank said on Wednesday Democrats had reached an agreement to stem one of the worst U.S. financial disasters in decades, and that there would be enough votes to pass the measure and send it to President George W. Bush to sign into law

"We now have between House and Senate Democrats an agreement on what we think should be in the bill, and we have a meeting scheduled at 10 a.m. tomorrow to meet with the Republicans," said Frank, chairman of the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee.

I want to read this fucking bill. It better have a section which details how we get to put concrete shoes on every criminal there was and throw them into the Atlantic.

I think it's pretty clear: we have to vote McCain into office now. Just the mere threat of going to DC scared the shit out of those gutless Senators and Paulson+Bernanke. Amazing.

 

[artredis1980]

I don't see it on their website. Was it said on TV or something?

Artredis?!

it was said on tv and now on cbs news

[MaddenNFL64]

He's not doing anything today. Obama, at the request of the president is showing up on thursday too.

If this get's done tomorrow, McCain really screwed himself here.

i just realised that mccain has been so adamant in stealing all of obama's ideas that when obama called him to make a joint statement this morning on the economy, mccain thought it was such a good idea, he took that as his own and suspended his campaign

 

[Tyrone Slothrop]

definitely

 

[StoOgE]

I can't wait for McCain to try and claim credit for this bill and get shut down.

 

[Ether_Snake]

He's not doing anything today. Obama, at the request of the president is showing up on thursday too.

If this get's done tomorrow, McCain really screwed himself here.

But the average American will have just heard:

"McCain stops campaign to go and work on the bill."

"Bush addresses the nation."

"Bill passes."

They will think McCain was involved!

John Stewart is on drugs or something this episode :lol

BADONKA DONK! BADONKA DONK!

:lol @ Letterman

He really called McCain out!

"I'm gonna go save the country and make a mad dash to DC -- right after I ditch you and chat with Katie Couric instead! LOL!"

We're trying to rescue the economy, not the McCain campaign

Heh, yep.

[JzeroT1437]

Well, if the bill passes stupid people give credit to McCain and if it doesn't our economy is completely borked.

We're so completely fucked.

 

[Pakkidis]

anybody have a link of msnbc online where you can watch the shows in their entirety. I can only watch snippets of videos.

They aren't that stupid. If they were Obama would be dead in the water from Rev. Wright.

 

[artredis1980]

Obama will have a photo session with McCain and Bush, together, all 3 of them, just when they will announce the bill has been passed

 

[Diablos]

They aren't that stupid.

Not all of them, of course not. The question is how many of those oh-so-wonderful "independent swing voters" will be swayed by this kind of shit.

 

[Tamanon]

Well, if the bill passes stupid people give credit to McCain and if it doesn't our economy is completely borked.

Good, let them think McCain presided over this massive increase in government spending and regulation. Then he can take his "conservative" argument and toss it out the window and he still won't get the independent one.:lol

 

[Juice]

Well, if the bill passes stupid people give credit to McCain and if it doesn't our economy is completely borked.

We're so completely fucked.

Unlikely, people are paying way too close attention and the cable news outlets are covering the campaigns in such mind-numbing detail that it's way way too hard for either campaign to try to slip a fast one like that. This would have worked in 2000 or 2004, but the public wasn't nearly as engaged, and the news cycles weren't nearly as snappy.

 

[Cloudy]

This has got to be the most epic backfire ever. Campaign put on hold, debates tossed in the air, Palin bombs... and all for nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I really hope they pass it before he gets there :lol

 

[Ponn]

i just realised that mccain has been so adamant in stealing all of obama's ideas that when obama called him to make a joint statement this morning on the economy, mccain thought it was such a good idea, he took that as his own and suspended his campaign

Obama got wise and did a rope a dope.

"Yeah, John? It's me Barack. So I was just kind of thinking wouldn't it be cool if I suspended my campaign and said I was going back to Washington to be a hero and save the economy and even forgetting the debates. What do you think about that?"

*hangs up*

"Sucker"

 

[artredis1980]

its clear this tactic was to find a way to delay the VP debates

 

[PhoenixDark]

Not all of them, of course not. The question is how many of those oh-so-wonderful "independent swing voters" will be swayed by this kind of shit.

I don't see this working. The only McCain Win of the day is the fact that no one is talking about Rick Davis.

Pakistan's new president, Asif Ali Zardari, entered the room seconds later. Palin rose to shake his hand, saying she was "honored" to meet him.

Zardari then called her "gorgeous" and said: "Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you."

"You are so nice," Palin said, smiling. "Thank you."

A handler from Zardari's entourage then told the two politicians to keep shaking hands for the cameras.

"If he's insisting, I might hug," Zardari said. Palin smiled politely in response.

Holy shit, $5,000,000 was spent in order to get ready for a debate that might not even happen???? So let's throw away 5million to do what? Isn't this part of the reason we are in the mess we're in, mismanagement of money??? How fucking pointless.
