Both Sens. Obama and McCain will meet with President Bush Thursday

President Bush invited Sen. Barack Obama to the White House for a meeting Thursday after Sen. John McCain called off his participation in Friday's scheduled presidential debates in Mississippi. Both men will meet with the president tomorrow.

McCain said that he was quitting his campaign and the debates because he was needed in Washington D.C., however, several banking committee members said they had been moving along fine without him since he had not bothered to offer help before. In contrast, Obama said he calls and keeps in contact with who he needs to to make sure he is on task. He said they'd let him know if he was needed.
Cool, Obama went back to work. McCain decided to go ahead and call-off anyway.

Nowadays, people use cell phones, telephones, fax machines, text messages, couriers, and video meetings to keep in contact.

It was said that McCain was pulling another political stunt by not wanting to show up at the debates. He even tried to one-up Obama by giving a preemptive televised press conference announcing that he would not be at the debates because the sky was falling. The sky has been falling for at least a week now.

Obama suggested at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday that they issue a joint statement and six hours later, McCain informed Obama they should skip the debates.
Obama said no, of course, because he, like many functioning Americans, can do two things at once. And he has a competent staff. And he is not scared to debate McCain. And even if he had some apprehension, he would never, ever run from a fight. Or a debate.

Shame on McCain! The Sarah Palin trick was flashier. This one was lame, like anyone still supporting the McCain/Palin ticket. They even managed to ruin the woman-for- president thing 'cause they got Palin on a pedestal, prancing her in front of our male allies like she is for sale. This is not Hookers on the Point, this is a presidential election. Why couldn't someone say, "Gov. Palin, you're so smart! Or honest, or authentic--etc."
"Oh, you're so pretty Gov. Palin!"
GMAFB!

Okay, hold the blog. I just heard a reference to the phrase, "spearchucker" on the "Worst Person in the World" segment on MSNBC. WTF?!
