Oh yeah, the Rick Davis, Fannie Mae deal. McCain is trying to kill that too.
Media could toss that out the window because of McCain's wacko tactics.

Dayum! Great move by the Obama campaign; it just makes the whole ordeal more transparent
Why would you assume that the average American would only happen to have heard those things specifically? Why couldn't they also have heard, "Democrats *and* Republicans say they don't need McCain's help" or, for that matter, why would you even assume they'd know a bill passed of any kind?Ether_Snake said:

That's an understatement.
You know what I love?
Our economy is being saved from falling into a great depression not by Bush. Not by McCain. Not by Obama. But most of all by Barney Frank. Barney Frank is THE key person who has the power to get this through or not which determines the fate of our economy.
I wonder how many religious right folks from the south realize that a GAAAAAAY man is the person whose fate this country has rested on the past few days.
I would love to see their reaction to finding this out. Barney Frank ftw.

Barney Frank is the workhorse on this. America is lucky to have this gay, lispy man doing such good work.

I agree! This is all great news but it's still to damn early! So many things can change and I don't trust the public enough to think that they won't see this for what it really is.

That interview was great!
I like the Obama list, but I think they should be including ongoing wars and whatnot that were ongoing during the presidential debates. The president has to juggle countless threats daily.. some we know about, some we likely dont. You cant just pick something at random and say "ZOMG WORST THING EVA, STOP EVERYTHING!"
Ohhhhh shit!! Hopes this develops!!

Guys, I think Obama is fucked.
I bet this is the plan:
Bush and Co. told McCain the bailout was going to pass soon, within the next two days, this was told to him later today after the hearings on the bailout plan, which ended at around 4pm if I recall.
McCain is told to come to Washington to act as if he was going to get a close look at the bailout plan.
Obama is also asked to come, to make it look like he too is getting involved in the plan.
Bush addresses the nation saying the bailout is needed (Bush is highly unpopular, he's the last guy you want telling people the bailout is needed). Bush and Co. do want the bailout to pass, but they also want to save McCain's campaign.
The bailout will pass, Obama will vote for it.
McCain will vote against it strongly, and seek to rally the population's anger as support for his position.
Maverick! POW! And no responsibility if the plan fails to help in the end.

I think the debates should continue, but that list is not that compelling. Nothing like our current crisis, IMHO.

Pssshhh. About 4 years ago I'd say that's crazy...but after all the GOP bullshit we've seen, it might just come to fruition.Ether_Snake said:

To vote no on the bill, and force Obama to vote yes.
Staying on the trail would allow Obama not to vote for it, and him not to vote against it.

That's all fine except if the bill really is pro-tax payer as stated before in this thread, McCain just fucks himself as he's not on the side of the people and Obama is.
Ignatz Mouse said:
Not true, the Iran/Iraq war and the hostage crisis was fucking huge, and the economy was probably more in the shitter at the time.
The fall out of the Bay of Pigs not big enough?
I mean really, this is a crisis. Bush has had to deal with 3-4 of them in his tenure already, and I would say at this point this is the 3rd biggest in the last 8 years (9/11 and Iraq being bigger).
Dont blow things out of proportion.
Ether_Snake said:
Except McCain voting against it while almost all leading economists are saying that you have to do it would make him look even more worthless on the economy. The last thing you need is Warren Buffet coming out and calling you a fucking retard on the economy, which is what would happen.
Given all the fuckups out of McCain these last 10 days, you are giving them far too much credit.

I hope I'm wrong!
It would still pass, he would get the "don't take my tax money!" people on his side, lots of undecided voters.

The dumbest part of McCain's strategy is that it breaks his "did OK so reception will be positive" advantage going into the debates. Now the press will rightfully focus on how weak he looks, even if he does "OK" and what's worse, he may have transferred that effect to Palin.
IDIOTIC. Who is advising the man?
