John McCain Hoping to Push Back First Debate
Looks like John McCain contacted the Obama campaign in an attempt to postpone the two candidates' first highly-anticipated debate scheduled for this Friday.
I know what you're thinking, you dirty, socialist, Daily Kossack. And no. It's because of the economy…
"It has become clear that no consensus has developed to support the administration's proposal," McCain said [in a statement]. "I do not believe that the plan on the table will pass as it currently stands, and we are running out of time."
McCain said if Congress does not pass legislation to address the crisis, credit will dry up, people will no longer be able to buy homes, life savings will be at stake and businesses will not have enough money
"If we do not act, ever corner of our country will be impacted," McCain said. "We cannot allow this to happen."
No word yet from Team Obama on whether or not the show will go on, but it does look like the two senators will be issuing "a joint statement in support of a package to help fix the economy as soon as possible."
Hopefully, they'll also be issuing a joint statement in support of finding a cure for mountain lion attacks and a joint statement in support of chocolate ice cream.

McCain blinked.
He's busted out some crappy campaign tactics in this race, but damn. http://tinyurl.com/3gg4p9
The problem is not the Repubs playing dirty. (that is a given) The problem is over coming lies with truth… Which should be easy… right?!? (LOL) Sad to say, in this "Reality TV" age, reality gets thrown to the wind and sensationalism takes it's place.
McCain/Palin = BUSH part 3
ABC said an Obama official wants the debate to happen. "Tell that chicken we can handle both," he said. Okay, I added the chicken part.

Ah don't fret little ones. Barry will still be able to kick Johnny's tush later.
In the meantime, Obama will have to follow through on his call for bi-partisan cooperation on solving America's problems.
Sure we all wish he could call McCain out on this one. It's a pain in the ass to be the only responsible adult in a field of obnoxious, blithering bastards – just ask Samatha Bee.
McCain is a COWARD, an INCOMPETENT & a FOOL.
Look what he tried to do with GOP convention – same thing. McCain has no regard for all the people working in the institutions supporting these events.
Per Obama: Presidents don't get to do one thing at one time.
McCain will try to delay the election itself if he's still losing in the polls.
He's not being "Presidential" by delaying the debates, he's being just another cheap politician.
The financial disaster is the fault of Bush/McCain politics and everyone knows it.
