McCain's Rolling the dice.
 

And so are his buddies. Here's at least one opinion.

A small percentage of folks (McCain's group) have other ideas about what they want they want to do and He's hoping to have some sort of part in it all. Instead Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Connecticut, who also attended the meeting, said Thursday that the meeting was contentious and blasted what he calls McCain's inaction.

"I'm not quite sure what John McCain said at the meeting. He said something. ... He had no indication he was for any particular plans. I don't know where he is on all of this," Dodd said.

Wow, you mean a ranking Dem that is the number 1 beneficiary from Fannie and Freddie didn't defend the Republican...get right out of town :rofl:

Watching CNN. Kinda funny watching the folks gather together to work out final details only to be side-tracked by a few who decided to change their mind....:popcorn:

The whole thing is insanity, being decided by two men (Tres/Fed) that will not be employed in 6 weeks.

You got that right....:thumbup:

Does Obama not understand he is a SENATOR first and PRES CANDIDATE second??

while that might be i wonder what he will do instead of the debate tonight...pretty sure not discussing the economy...

I think that should be directed at Senator McCain.

+1

Should be directed towards both of them. They are both Senators.

Yes they are senators but they are NOT part of the committee that was discussing the proposal.
As senators, their job is to vote on the bill not to sabotage the negotiations while offering no alternative.

Where are you getting that? Are you a member of Congress? :)

:wow: :iagree: 100%

Nope I am not, but I've been following the news all day yesterday and it seemed that things were going along very well and announcements were made that they agreed in principle on the package. They seemingly agreed on the accountability part, the executive pay condition, and other things that both parties spoke about. After the meeting with the president things fell apart.
I wasn't in the room but the only variable was the candidates.

Hmm, so you're staking that opinion on what you 'heard' from Dems exiting the Capital :)

Then you should have mentioned both of them in your earlier comment.

what earlier comment? Last I checked, McCain stayed while Oby ran away

Stayed and accomplished what???

did I say he personally accomplished something? Last I checked the Dems were still trying to figure it out :)

So are the Republicans. But it was the big chief McCain who had to charge to the front lines as if he was going to solve the problem single handed.

NO DEBATE TILL THIS IS SETTLED!!! Hahaha give me a brake. Even the uninformed ("Me") can see the humor in his attempt to get a leg up and no excuse that anyone around here can make is going to erase this keystone cop caper!!! :bustingup :bustingup :bustingup

Yes that was pretty tarded. So was the part where Harry Reid told him to come back because he was critical, then told him to leave :rofl:

And DEMS run Congress, so..again..Dems :)

:iagree: I Won't argue the ineptness of them all....

Full agreement on that.
