Ha. But he's not even on the committee that will be drafting the legislation. He's got no input on this.
Then why did Senator Obama call Senator McCain to ask if he would join him in outlining their shared principles and conditions for the Treasury proposal so that
together they could get Congress and the White House to pass the proposal?
It's called a photo-op, and if McCain had gone through with Obama's proposal, it would have helped that Obama campaign, thus McCain flipped it around today...
I guess the McCain camp feels McCain is sliding in the polls everyday, and has little chance of beating Obama one on one in the debates, so they're pulling another "Palin" to try and change the game again.
Yeah, and apparently it backfired. In a poll released hours after McCain's decision,
86% of Americans think the Debate on Friday
Should Go On as Scheduled, with only
10% agreeing with McCain.
To be specific, 50% want the debate on-time, while 36% want that planned-debate on Foreign Policy to be shifted to the Economy.
