“This statement is completely vacuous and answers no questions.”

Pretty much sums up every statement Obama’s ever made, doesn’t it?

I don’t know. I think it will be made to look bad for McCain, actually. They’ll be talking about how McCain took advantage of the financial crisis to duck having to face Obama.

This kind of thing is also one (of many) of the reasons I would like to require elected officials to resign their positions before beginning a campaign for a different office.

And in other news, spurned late night comedian Letterman signs on expert in “debate appearance cancellation” Keith Olberman to explain.

Cassie,
I disagree with you. It is in our best interest as citizens to have not just Obama absent, but the entire lot of them. Think about it. So far we’ve seen demorats attempting to add on a steaming heap of porky goodness to this bailout in the form of homeowner bailouts, student loan bailouts and most recently (if I read it correctly) foreign banks… Not that Paulson aka spawn of Satan is any better with his socialized approach to “fixing” the problem. I’m with Newt on this one.

McCain should offer to send Sarah Palin in his place. That would get the debate rescheduled in a heartbeat.
