So what the heck's up with McCain???
These are some unprecedented, unpresidential and frankly, unstable moves McCain's been pulling. Is this what the GOP political machine decided was his best move in light of collapsing poll numbers, countless Palin-related scandals and an electorate that's just not buying the lies and crap they've been shoving down our throats?
Not slick McSame. Not slick at all.
We don't need a President in office with a penchant for wild, unpredictable behavior. Call it a stunt if you want. Call it hardball tactics. All this amounts to is a reckless man showing little respect for the traditions and institutions of American elections and democracy. Delay the debate? Give us one damn reason.
It's too late to start building a new reputation based on 'decisive action' and 'leadership.' And it's insulting to think anybody's going to look at this decision and think this was out genuine desire to save the economy. You're not Ross Perot Senator. You can't say you quit, then decide to jump back into it when things look brighter.
Please remember that while you take your little vacation to Washington, we'll still be here waiting to watch our man kick your ass across that debate stage left and right. And we can't wait.
***UPDATE #1***
The Obama Camp released a list of dates corresponding with my point that using the very real crisis to cover up your fear of debating is absurd.
