Bitch, please.

John McCain suspends his presidential campaign due to the current economic crisis, suggests Obama do the same.

Yes, because I'm sure what Congress is really desperately in need of to solve this problem is for two senators who've spent the last year running for president to show up. That's what they've been missing. Not a more detailed plan, something vaguely resembling actual oversight, and maybe more than ten fucking minutes before the session ends to figure out what the hell to do.

EDIT: "It's my belief that this is exactly the time when the American people need to hear from the person who in approximately 40 days will be responsible for dealing with this mess," Obama said in a news conference in Clearwater, Fla. "It's going to be part of the president's job to deal with more than one thing at once."

YES, THIS. I want a president who's not only willing but able to multi-task. I don't think I'm asking for anything too complicated here.

Last night at the fair I won a Beanie Baby fox. I just took it out of the bag it was in and threw it in Otis's direction, fully expecting him to ignore me and it.

He's just spent the past fifteen minutes attacking it as if it insulted his mother.

So far I've checked three different news sites just out of curiosity to see what their front page polls say. The CNN and MSNBC say that 70% think it's a political gimmick and strongly disagree with his decision. Fox News wasn't even mentioning the move when I checked, and didn't have a poll questioning it.

Do you have links to those by any chance? I've only seen Survey USA flash poll.

CNN's is on their front page on the right when you scroll down. MSNBC's is here. They're both hovering around the seventy-percent mark on this being a negative move for McCain. (Although if you want to get detailed, MSNBC's poll says that seventy percent strongly disagree and almost ten percent just disagree, which makes it worse.)

CNN's is that Quick Vote where you can vote more than once. MSNBC's won't let you without more than one email.
