Where's Barry?
As I recall Barry has said he has the ability to reach across party lines in the spirit of bipartisanship and pass difficult legislation. He says that, but his only example in the US Senate was a less than controversial bill on "Loose Nukes".
Barry O. come back to DC and work your magic to get a bailout plan passed by Wednesday. This should be easy for the most High and Merciful shouldn't it? After all we are not rescuing the US economy or the people on "main street" as Nancy Pelosi said, this is to rescue "W".

The bottom line is that their is only 1 president at a time. Right now both McCain and Obama are US Senators. The best thing they can do is work behind the scenes not in front of the cameras.

I thought McChicken said yesterday he had brought everyone together, and that it would pass.

I hope you're right. He'll do far less damage that way.

Quote:HICAGO (AFP) - John McCain's presidential campaign claimed credit as Congress readied Monday to vote on an emergency economic package, but Democrats said the Republican's last-ditch intervention had been no help.
Mitt Romney, McCain's erstwhile rival for the Republican nomination, said the deal on a Wall Street bailout worth up to 700 billion dollars would never have happened without the Arizona senator.
Speaking on NBC television, the former Massachusetts governor said "this bill would not have been agreed to had it not been for John McCain."
"That doesn't mean that he's the only guy doing that. And there many people ... who have been critical to it," Romney said.
"But, you know, this is a bipartisan accomplishment, a bipartisan success. And if people want to get something done in Washington, they just watch John McCain," he said.
