the tough roll up their sleeves and help with a solution...and the man who took more than a $100,000 from the primary culprits stays on the campaign trail...and blames other people
McCain suspends campaign to help solve financial crisis...Obama?...Well, he's spending his time trying to come up with an excuse as to why he took so much money from the institution that ruined America...Just as well...Does anyone really think he has any ideas that would help in this situation?
UPDATE: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid refuses help.
A Democrat tells ABC News that, in a phone call late this afternoon, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., that it would NOT be helpful for him to come back to Washington, D.C., to work on the Wall Street bailout bill.Reports are speaking of a joint statement to be issued by the candidates said to be forthcoming. Here's a crazy idea. How about a joint solution from the candidates? McCain has expressed his willingness. All I see from Obama is the desire to stay in front of his teleprompter.
McCain this afternoon suspended his campaign and said he would skip the first presidential debate in order to return to Capitol Hill to work on the log-jammed Bush administration legislation, which, as of Wednesday afternoon, was in peril.
McCain had phoned Reid to ask about the prospects of him, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and others to sit down and work together on hammering out a bipartisan proposal.
"Sorry," Reid said to him, a Democrat close to Reid says.
Wait a second. I thought Obama already had plans in place? What gives?
UPDATE: Obama says he'll return to Washington if he can be "helpful". Does anyone hear anyone calling for Obama's help? Anyone? Crickets...
