    Actually epic fail by you, GuerillaBlack. You see, yesterday, after McCain did his whole grandstanding act of going back to Washington, Barack Obama was the one actually trying to reach out to the Republicans and asking them to explain the details of their plan. He also was the one who consulted with Paulson to ask if it would work, and Paulson said it was not workable.

    What was McCain doing? Grinning quietly in the corner. Eventually he was the last person to talk. Talked for like 2 minutes, and according to other senators who were in the room, said nothing substantive.

    Of course, don't let that jar you out of your little cognitively dissonant world.

    Jon Stewart was great yesterday. He showed clips of McCain saying on Monday that he was still "looking at the plan they sent to him", which was like 3 pages at the time. Then on Tuesday he said that he hadn't looked at it yet. A three page plan.

    Do you realize how disconnected from reality this man really is?

    These are outright lies. The truth of the matter is that in the 3 person meeting (Bush, McCain, Obama), Obama was played like a puppet by Nancy Pelosi -- he dutifully read her script (he literally did this) and destroyed the discussion by launching into a partisan tirade. Hardly reaching across the aisle. Obama foolishly wasted an opportunity to move the discussion forward by instead choosing to resort to partisan politics.

    Anyone who thinks Obama has the capacity to bring people together is just simply too foolish to recognize that he has never done it, and he is unqualified to do it.

    No worse than the articles you post on this BBS. At least Stewart knows he's a satirist. At least we know you're not.

    No, he's basing his statement on a video clip of John McSame ...which happened to be aired on Jon Stewart's show.
