So at 2:30 PM We learned that McCoot can not Walk and Chew Gum.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So then it was Wednesday, and in the afternoon it got Very Interesting....Please read the Post below both the Comment Thread and the post, I updated What happened.......Short Story, Obama called McCain in the early am, and after he spoken to Coburn,but McCain did not call him back until 2pm, Obama's Idea was that the Candidates should issue a Joint Statement about the Economy and the Bailout....at 2PM McCain called Obama back..and they spoke, and it was decided that their staff would work on such a statement. Then at 2:30PM McCain came out and gave a press conference- he said he would suspend his campaign to return to DC {{ do do WHAT ???}}.....and that he wants the Debate to be postponed. McCain came out looking peevish, pale and scared shitless..and kept talking about THE Crisis...it felt very much like FearMongering...Like we are supposed to be very very scared...(( Like HOW scared???like not think ? not watch the Debates? not read? NOT Vote? What Next ??? Does he think we need a hero to go to DC -lordy we are NOT that Naive...))

(( Sidenote: McCain has not been in DC in many monthes and has not Voted On Anything in Monthes..so now he is going to rush to DC and do what ? have a Fit, create Drama or distract people from their work??))

BUT MCCAINS PRESSER IS NOT THE TRUTH , SO AT 4:40PM OBAMA SET US STRAIGHT....
Obama came out at 4:40PM and explained that "they" did not agree to suspend Anything- that McCain mentioned he was thinking on it...but that Nothing was told to him about postponing the Debate, or anything about Suspending Anything....Obama made it clear that the People need to hear from the Candidates and that he plans to proceed with the Debate and that he has been in constant contact with Dem Leadership and Paulson....but that he does not want Politics to clog up the process with their campaigns. He was calm, and thoughtful and very careful explaining how this all happened and what was said, and what he plans to do. That the People need to see the Candidates that are wishing to lead the Country....and that they need to hear what is being offered in this leadership..that is why this Debate needs to proceed.

By 5PM the Debate Commission issued a Statement that the Debates are to proceed as scheduled.
The Whitehouse has not issued any statement about the McCain Maneuver.

Bottemline: Can McCain focus on more than two things at one time ? Can he walk and chew gum ? Or by Friday will we learn that his dog ( cough....cindy?) ate His Homework ?....and will there be an Empty Chair at the Debate ?

( Bush due to speak to the Nation at 9PM....also Keith on Dave Letterman tonight because McCain Cancelled today..)

NOW McCains People are demanding that Obama and the Debate Commission Suspend the Debate on Friday night and Move ti to NEXT Thursday- NOW that is the Night of the VP debate- they want that Debate Cancelled and moved to some OTHER time...( like Never???).....wow..this gets better by the minute...ONLY CNN is running this story- Dana Bash gave a statement- BUT No one has come out and said this....MSNBC and CNN are still running the ads for the Debate...HA!!!

6:30 PM....More From OL' Miss Their Statement that Postponing or cancelling would cause them Financial Hardship they would lose atleast 5.5 Million No ONE has said how Much the Networks would lose ( they are all still running ads).
