Call me if you need me
We all know there’s an economic crisis in the works right now and our
heads of state have all headed to Washington to figure out the best
solution. Except a member of the Illinois senate. I’m sure there’s
other members who aren’t heading into the corral as well, but the most
noticeable one is of course Mr B. Hussein Obama.
I disagree with Obama on almost every single issue he supports, but I
really thought he’d accept McCain’s invitation to take a few days off
and review this bill they’re about to pass. I really thought it was a
no brainer, if the bill works, you can say you helped it along and add
it to your short list of “experience”. If it doesn’t work out, you talk
about how strongly you opposed it….
I guess I’m disappointed that he’s turning down the opportunity to help the country in Washington and then joking about McCain’s inability to do more than one task at a time. “As a president, you have to be able to do more than one task at a time.”
I think I’m trying to keep in mind that there’s still a possibility that Obama could be president. I keep finding myself more and more disappointed with his choices aside from all of the positions he holds that I already disagree with.
Out of respect for the lovely BarelyJen who disagrees in the most pleasant of fashions, I won’t call him a complete moron. But I really think he has missed a fantastic opportunity to perform an act of selflessness.
Now onto what ticks me off: He said, “Call me if you need me” in reference to if the House needed his help on this Bill. What a dope. Of course they need you. You’re being paid by the Illinois taxpayers to represent them, but instead of working for them, you’re out spending your Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae handouts and whining and dining the swing states. (By the way, did you know that within two years, Obama was the second largest recipient of “Political Contributions” from our mortgage crisis companies?)Call me if you need me? That’s like me saying, “Hey, I’ll be gone for awhile. Call me if you need a humorous, intelligent, beautiful, politically informative blog to read.” Psh. Silly question. Of course you do. It’s me. We have a lovely relationship, you and I.

Was it on your site? I saw a cartoon recently about this whole campaign thing.
First frame was McCain and a reporter. The reporter says ” Some people are questioning whether or not your running mate has enough experience to handle the job. Next frame opens, and there stands McCain and Palin side by side, and Biden with a wheelbarrow containing a jackass. McCain says ” Are you talking to me, or Biden?”
Loved it.
As much as I like the idea of the candidates debating, they’re still elected officials and should be in DC when these big decisions are being made.
thanks for that!
and i *gasp* agree with you — not that agreeing with you is much of a shocker — he should be in washington right now. i’m not necessarily saying pause campaigning altogether, but there could have been a more reasonable compromise.
woop a dead cat at him already! why a dead cat?? you ask, simple. because when a dead kitty is flying through the air at you, everything stops. you focus on the strange thing headding towards you. then after it hits or lands, you wonder, “what have i done to deserve this? what have i done, said or not done that was so bad. . . that someone would find that, pick it up, carry it over, and then lob it at me?” then we can all move on with our lives. . . well, all but the kitty.
Yeah, I read that. I was like, “Ok?”
Oooohhhh…I LOVE Babyface! *Gasp* I haven’t heard that song in forever.
i have to agree. I think he should have went, but of course he is not ready to be president. That is obvious. It just makes me nervous at the idea that he could win.
i couldn’t agree more. and i have to commend McCain for putting his job first.
