Obama Just on Cnn. " I can monitor the crisis by phone"

[McCain/Palin 08]

tells Wolf Blitzer a leader should be able to handle several things at one time.

Obama, you egotistical maniac. This debate is not the end-all especially since you would not do town halls with McCain throughout the summer.

Go ahead debate yourself, you freaking fool.!!!

[samkm]

It is only the biggest financial crisis in 100 years....

I dont think he has anything much to add, except what he can do by phone.

McCain does. So, McCain steps up to the plate and becomes the bipartisan leader.

This is why Pres.Bush acknowledged McCain when he mentioned Bipartisanship and he did not turn his head towards Obama.

[Justmy.02]

Obama is such a joke. Why can't his fanatical supporters see what an empty suit he is? There must be mind altering drugs in that kool-aid.

McCain is a LEADER!

[cynthia2]

I was watching Obama on TV and he holds his head funny so that he looks like it's leaning sideways. I find it disconcerting. Does anyone else see this or have I just gotten to where I dislike him so much that I even think his head angle is strange.......

It's because his head has gotten so big,he has a hard time holding the damn thing up straight!!!

Yes, I have noticed it.

[Ca Teacher]

well--as an empty suit probably he doesn't contribute much by being there. And heaven knows he needs his practice time for the debate.

On the other hand--McCain is desperately needed--there will be no bill passed without him.

Who looks like a senior senator--ready to take over the Presidency?

and how much is Obama hurting himself by admitting that his input isn't really that important.

That's called ego displacement syndrome.
When the ego kicks in, normal people are able to
diffuse the head bulging but folks with this problem
inflate so fast they are unable to adjust. Sometimes
one side of the brain inflates more than the other and
it causes this leaning effect until equalibrium is formed.

I don't know who is more dangerous - he or his army of worshipping fools.

he can vote not present AGAIN!!!!!

[Donald]

When Obama says "I dont think having candidates in the negotiantans(sp) is very useful"

So to me that says it all. Obama is a candidate..not a senator. I think its his job to be there.

[lynfreedom]

that is good one.

So is he intending to leave DC tonight?

[lanney]

On one side Obama is saying this is biggest crisis after Great depression and on other hand he is saying "Call me when you need me".
On other hand these same liberals made fun of Bush reading 6th grade books to kid.
Country don't need Obama, no leadership at all.

[GaGirl]

I prefer to vote "present" instead of putting my name on anything.

Obama doesn't want to make a decision or put his name on anything. McCain is determined to get both their names on whatever is decided.

and there it is

[Donald]

I also find it funny that Obama did not want to play politics with this...but who is the one on TV tonight playing politics...Obama and his henchmen, especially Chris Dodd, who is trying to slam McCain.

Let people know who really is playing politics with this issue..I don't see McCain on TV bashing Obama.

[sadie]

Good to know that he'll just phone it in as Pres. Or, you know, e-mail it in, text it in, or appear via satellite. Maybe he can just move to the 57th state and run the country from there.

[nette60]

Sen McCain slipped out of the west wing away from the cameras...of course Obama can't help himself....McCain said he was suspending his campaign and that's what he did

There are some great explanations given here..... Poor Obama, such problems......

[Pepper]

I'm sure BHO would rather monitor the crisis by text or AIM. I can see his response now..."BRB, playin hoops. Tlk 2 u l8r....lol, j/k, PRESENT!".

[Karen Keefe]

Gonna monitor Iran, Korea, Pakistan, Venezuela by phone too, BO?

[Donald]

Not playing politics...but let me run to my hotel..get in front of my safe press corp...and slam my opponent and claim not to play politics..Maybe Obama should be sitting down and working on the problem instead of standing in front of a camera. This has been happening now for over an hour. Obama is a joke.

Obama doesn't have to work on the problem.. Hillary is there so he knows that she will take care of things as well as other smart folks.

The Republicans are not on board of what to do if anything. Thus McCain is actually needed more from that standpoint than Obama.

However, it doesn't matter who gets elected..the next president will be stuck with whatever they decide now and whatever good or bad comes from it.


This bailout may not even work. They know what will happen if they do nothing. It isn't clear what will happen if they do something.

[Tea toaD]

Just let him eat his waffles please. He doesn't want to be bothered with this country's problems:mad: He just wants to take credit, campaign, have people applaud his speeches and put a basketball court in the White House.:mad: In other words he just wants to have fun:mad:

[santafek]

What I am "hearing" from Dodd is that he's not ramming something through--he who took big money from Fannie and Freddie. I'm hear Obama blah blahing, posturing, saying he can multitask and contribute without being there to really HEAR and watch body language in a negotiation. I'm hearing frustration that the Dems. can't do what they want.

Oh no!...not them, they are special. Obama said he would meet with these rogue leaders personally, without any preconditions.

[samkm]

This is the type of 'high brow' statement that makes him not win Hillary-supporters.

[Memphis_Blues]

Mccain needs to throw down the gauntle. Tell Obama he will do a town hall a week once the bill is passed and release a schedule of booked arenas in battleground states. Then show up and if Obama isn't there have an empty chair on stage to remind people Obama is chicken.

Heh, heh, puts me in mind of an old Mommy joke:
Barack: Mommy, Mommy! My teacher says my head is too big.
Mom: Shut up and get your hat from the garage, so your father can park the car!

[TexasFlower]

I can't get over what a freakin WHINER CRYBABY Obama is. Can't he ever shut his yap and just DO something constructive?

I cannot believe this guy might win the White House. I was feeling confident after Palin was nominated but today I've been struck by weak-kneed fear. I know I need to suck it up. But I'm feeling shaky. :(

I like that idea a lot. You should email it to the McCain campaign.

Concerning ob's body position, look at Memphis_Blues's avatar. It says it all.;)

Uh, uhm, ah, ahm, ah, uh, no, no, that would be by text message.

He holds his head with his chin up. It is a power thing just like people who hold their hands with their fingers touching pointed upwards.

[Kbentleyis]

Donald, you've made a good point. BHO is a senator first, not a presidential candidate. He should be there representing the people and the needs of this country. Not complaining about some damn debate.

But, BHO is suppose to be studding up on foreign policy matters, instead he's stuck at the WH. No wonder he's so pissed. He needs his time to study!!!

Very good point.

[Christines]

Did he mean this phone???:D

[CT-Hilltopper]

Barack Obama's answer to the question of how he will run the country if he is elected President:

"I'll phone it in."

[mondayblues]

There is a reason why US Presidents stay in the White House, Mr. Obama.

The moment you become a public official, your life is no longer yours. Your life now belongs to the USA.

[lanney]

Do we have to pay for "Call waiting" service?

[cindyb]

Mccain needs to throw down the gauntle. Tell Obama he will do a town hall a week once the bill is passed and release a schedule of booked arenas in battleground states. Then show up and if Obama isn't there have an empty chair on stage to remind people Obama is chicken.

I second that. That is a great idea. Obama is SUCH a coward.

[LetsHelpAmerica]

Well, it's a theory of mine!!! :D

So to me that says it all. Obama is a candidate..not a senator. I think its his job to be there.

Is that what he said? That he doesn't think having candidates in the negotiations is very useful? OMG!!!! He is a U.S. SENATOR for crying out loud. Ok, this takes the cake. Are you telling me that NO ONE in the media has jumped on this?

[samkm]

Obama Just on Cnn. " I can monitor the crisis by phone"

This is the strongest evidence that he is not an achiever.. rather just a talking head.

[Violet]

Yup. That's what he said. The 'candidates' are getting in the way. Hello, didn't some fools in Il elect you to represent them? I see lot's of canon fodder for debates.

Don't phone us and we won't phone you!

[Lillie]

Oh...I forgot to say earlier...
A leader doesn't MONITOR a CRISIS by phone.
A leader, leads.

The economy is having a splitting migraine and it may be an aneurysm.

Obama: "Take two aspirins and call me in the morning by phone. I need my beauty rest for the big debate."

Does anyone else see this or have I just gotten to where I dislike him so much that I even think his head angle is strange.......I always think he's confusing himself with David Caruso on CSI Miami.

Here's Dodd in full circle, one who shouldn't be speaking or debating
the bailout, one who should be investigated! Just makes you sick!

Obviously, he can't handle several things at once. He's taking 3 days to practice for the debate. Aside from his appearance in DC, what else has he done? If you respond by phone, no one can see the teleprompter or your advisor whispering the answers in your ear. BTW, if the debate goes forward, let's check BO's ears for earbuds.

That's so he can better hear the answers being delivered to him through his earbuds.

You almost had me with that one.

[peachick]

I think a good leader should be able to get their PRIORITIES straight! Which is exactly what McCain did. He rolled up his sleaves and got to WORK. The debate can be reschedualed. There is plenty of time for another debate. barry just does NOT want to do anything that would "put him out."

[Ijane]

I recently asked our 9yr old if she'd like to be President of the United States one day. She said no. According to her the President never does anything and she's afraid she'd be bored. Her understanding of the role of the President is really the same as Obama's understanding of what the job is all about.

Obama believes that the President is basically a figurehead who is surrounded by people much smarter then he is who do all the work for him. That's why Obama doesn't feel the need to be in Washington. He forgets that he's a Senator and we're paying him to work this crap out! It's his job!

His most excellent adventure in Europe back in July shed some light on Obama's idea of what his presidency would be like. He's going to be sure to refresh himself with plenty of vacations and he'll set aside large blocks of time each day just to think without interruption. A mic picked up Obama's conversation with Tory Leader David Cameron:

July 26, 2008 8:40 AM

At British Parliament today, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, met with Tory Leader David Cameron.

Seemingly unaware of an enormous fuzzy boom mike held by ABC News' Eric Kerchner, the two chatted casually -- and privately.

"You should be on the beach," Cameron told Obama. "You need a break. Well, you need to be able to keep your head together."

"You've got to refresh yourself," agreed Obama.

"Do you have a break at all?" asked Cameron.

"I have not," said Obama. "I am going to take a week in August. But I agree with you that somebody, somebody who had worked in the White House who -- not Clinton himself, but somebody who had been close to the process -- said that, should we be successful, that actually the most important thing you need to do is to have big chunks of time during the day when all you're doing is thinking. And the biggest mistake that a lot of these folks make is just feeling as if you have to be -- "

"These guys just chalk your diary up," said Cameron, referring to a packed schedule.

"Right," Obama said. "In 15 minute increments …"

"We call it the dentist's waiting room," Cameron said. "You have to scrap that because you've got to have time."

"And, well, and you start making mistakes," Obama said, "or you lose the big picture. Or you lose a sense of, I think you lose a feel-- "

"Your feeling," interrupted Cameron. "And that is exactly what politics is all about. The judgment you bring to make decisions."

"That's exactly right," Obama said. "And the truth is that we've got a bunch of smart people, I think, who know ten times more than we do about the specifics of the topics. And so if what you're trying to do is micromanage and solve everything then you end up being a dilettante but you have to have enough knowledge to make good judgments about the choices that are presented to you."

[i hate nbc and cnn]

i remember in that michael moore film he was making a point that bush is a bad leader because he was always on vacation not in washington and bush said its amazing what you can do with telephones. obama is doing the same thing now so what do you liberals have to say about that

Yes here is how he talks on the phone!

Does he have caller id and call waiting? Someone should probably make sure.
