Uh, this is going to get worse if action is not taken&#8230;What the heck happened in that meeting to undo the deal?<br \/>\n<br \/>\nMr. McCain and Mr. Obama, we know you want to help. The best way you can do that is get on with your campaigns and be ready to vote when it&#8217;s time. Since neither of you are on the Finance Committee, this Washington watch is pure HUMBUG. Suspending a campaign, PUH-LEEZE. Does anyone buy that steaming pile of lie?<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s pretty clear the McCain campaign is sinking and a distraction from that reality is necessary.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe debates, oh the debates. Well, I hope Obama does show up. If McCain isn&#8217;t going to make it, he should send Palin. If neither of them make it, then Obama should give a 90 minute exclusive interview to the press there making his case.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nMeanwhile, candidates, get back on the trail and let your colleagues do the deal &#8211; stay out of it. We can&#8217;t afford to wait much longer on this&#8230;I tell you, our government could screw up a two car parade!<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday it was reported there was a deal on the bailout.
