So Obama speaks on the floor and McCain doesn't?

[Drunken Irishman]

Yet he's the one trying to convince voters he's a leader?

:rofl:

1. And McCain thinks he's a leader?

[geek tragedy]

2. He suspended his Senate speech so that he

could show leadership on this.

[Thrill]

3. Obama' speech will show leadership. All the Dems will vote yea

4. Bernie Sanders is speaking now ... and should be listened to

One of the best Senators we have on our side.

7. I'm listening to him. He's right. I'm waiting for his proposal. n/t

9. I love Bernie pointing out the obscene pay of the fat cats involved

What a great progressive populist!

5. Very impressive--swoops in for photo ops, but not to do his actual Senate job.

(McLoser, that is)

6. Yeah mentioned it in this thread. Actually I don't think he's there.

8. I think McCain...

...is in Walla, Walla--phoning it in.

[Youphemism]

10. I'm guessing McCain is being rushed to the Senate to speak, if there's any chance he can get there..

He's desperate to be the guy at the chalkboard explaining everything. He's desperate not to let Obama have the initiative -- the same sentiment that led him to suspend his campaign after Obama's overture for a joint statement of principles.

As soon as his camp heard Obama was going to speak, I'm sure they looked at their watches and determined whether there was time to get McCain there to speak as well.

Kinda stupid of them not to schedule him to speak the the first place, unless they stalled in order to make sure he spoke *after* Obama.

11. So they screwed this up too.

Why doesn't that surprise me?
