Pottery bar rules -- McCain''s inept flustered bluster broke the bill and the solution -- clearly he owns it now -- let''s see him lead those republicans into a bi-partisan compromise with all his experience. Or is Senator McCain just phoning it in for now after his prior appearance was so completely disruptive as he simultaneously proved himself so ill prepared. - Reply to this comment
- We all agree with Barrack Obama!!! This country needs hope and we have serious issues. I''m just looking for Senator Obama to show where he previously delivered on "hope" and voted yea or nay on a serious issue. Hell, if he is qualified for president, so am I !!! Misha can be my ambassador to Palestine.

Clearly not an opinion in appears may are currently accepting -- given 8 years of failed policies and the promise of 4 more years of the same. I expect you will be seriously disappointed as the Democrats continue to improve their projected seat count in the Senate while republicans continue their obstructionist tactics in the house. Must be difficult for Republican Senators to watch their re-election chances fade as their brethren in the house demonstrate obstructionist tactics generally reserved for the use of senators that must campaign state wide often in unsafe states unlike their fellow house members with safe districts. - Reply to this comment
- Misha?
Misha? Misha? Obamas accomplishments? And do not give us that *** about the nuclear Non proliferation bill. Everybody voted for that. It was like voting for a bill that propsed free icecream for underprivledged children. - Reply to this comment

Please do not include democrats and yourself with intelligent people. It is obvious you are young, impressionable and probably sexually attracted to Barrack( I have no voting record on issues) Obama. - Reply to this comment

It appears that 60% of the Democrats lead by Obama and others were willing to settle on a solution; while 66% of the Republicans despite winning inclusion of their precious options still obstructed they appear to be the remnants of Newt''s boys that still haven''t learned from their own experiences. - Reply to this comment

Obama has shown true leadership ability ......it''s just that we can not find where. I remember a poor little jewish girl that was once enthralled with a prince in shining armor. His name was Bill I did not have *** with that women Clinton. Another sample of Democratic truth to power, from the *** club of Clinton Edwards, Spizer, Patterson and Jesse Jackson. - Reply to this comment

Remember Newt and his buddies and how they were rewarded by the voters for obstructionism? You would like for the Democrats to be as dumb as the Republicans and not learn from history. Sorry intelligent people including independents understand that government must operate despite the inept leaders occupying the White House or any other office. - Reply to this comment

And while McCain was doing all that.......what was Obama doing? Nothing.......or more than likely preparing a speech to tell the public he has a 5 point plan to bring all of congress together again......just like Humpty Dumpti........you better get ready for the fall if you elect this do nothing image. - Reply to this comment

Ever heard of truth to power -- it is something that many people respect. Especially when confronted by bellicose unprepared leaders like senator McCain. - Reply to this comment

If we are the nuts, then surely you are the shells...empty headed critics employing no logic at all and having no understanding of how our govenment works. Bush can do almost nothing without surpport of congress. So anything he did, congress funded. NOW......when was the last time the democrats fillibustered a bill? They no longer use the fillabuster. They simply included their "earmarks" on the bill. They are all fat dumb and happy. And McCain went so far in the debate as to tell the American public congress and special interests are corrupt. - Reply to this comment

Sounds like a perfect description of Senator McCain to me -- talked his way into inaction by the House. The great forger of bi-partisan alliances -- arrives in Washington ill prepared -- introduces a second ill conceived completely unbaked house plan without his support to follow Bush''s ill conceived power grabbing plan. Senator McCain admitted to insufficient understanding of the proposed plan and neither he nor the house leadership could explain their plan. Why did he bother to claim to suspend his campaign at all -- He still did nothing and arrived unprepared and successfully conspired with the house to block actions he claimed were necessary. Choose an option Senator McCain lied about wanting any intervention or Senator McCain''s flustered blustering leadership proved to be totally inept. - Reply to this comment

Poor misdirected but verbose soul that you are......why would Nanci Pelosi preface a debate on a bill that requires bi-partisan support to pass ....... with a stinging attack on House Republicans? If you can think logically, you can easily see she is using the crisis to attempt to further the Democrats desparate need to regain the presidency. - Reply to this comment
- I hope you McCain nut cases realize that this idiot is responsible for deregulation that caused this mess.

How about 10 or 12 days of 5 to 7 percent losses? - Reply to this comment
- Senator McCain pseudo-suspended his campaign went to Washington. Convinced President Bush to conduct a photo-op. Showed up at the photo op to demonstrate his qualifications to be more inept as President Bush at the Katrina press conference. President Bush said nothing -- while he did not assist he clearly did not muddle and confuse the plans of others. Those plans deserved changes but that still does not justify amateur antics like Senator McCain''s in the face of a crisis.
Senator McCain on the other hand despite suspending his campaign and "exhaustively studying the details" was unfamiliar with the proposal on the table. To muddle matters Senator McCain introduced half-baked ideas of the House Republicans (like the President''s original plan completely devoid of governance and oversight which Senator McCain already protested) he was unwilling to support and also barely could explain. In the truest adherence to President Bush''s pseudo-attendance at the Katrina planning session Senator McCain left the meeting making no SUPPORTED PROPOSALS, PRINCIPLES or ANY OTHER GUIDANCE as to how to proceed to a solution after completely wrecking the proposed solution of the moment. - Reply to this comment
- Part 2
After a weekend of additional negotiations with Senator McCain literally phoning it in from a posh Washington Hotel. The revised proposal with the new McCain/House insurance provisions came to a vote in the House. the Democrats rallied 60% of their caucus in support; Senator McCain the "maverick forger of bi-partisan alliances" (in his own mind at least) mustered 33% of his own party to the cause. Most bi-partisan bills pass with the major backing of one''s own party and anything from a small to sizable number from across the aisle. In this case bi-partisan support consisted of a super (3/5) majority support from Democrats (to a true compromise bill) across the aisle and from the Republicans (having secured their desired insurance option with weakened executive pay and golden parachute provisions) yielding only 1 of every 3 members in support. 2 of every three Republicans house members distrust the President, their presidential candidate and their own leadership and failed to support a bill specifically revised to support thier ill planned and half-baked solution -- this is not a party ready to lead -- this is a party totally deviod of leadership and totally dedicated to obstruction regardless of the cost to the country. - Reply to this comment

In part I agree. But I would prefer to set some minimum educational and or expertise qualifications and then select congressmen and congresswomen by lottery. At present 90 % of congress has little expertise or commendable experience - Reply to this comment
