Difficult to See Manipulation

Many of you have probably been keeping up with the latest developments with the upcoming presidential election. Some of you may have loyalties to a party, which by no means is being criticized here; I've always been one to say "You have to stay true to your colors". Nevertheless, the interjection of presidential hopeful Senator John McCain to attend Washington meeting(s) (even asking President Bush to arrange one) appears to be staunchly detrimental to the health of the American Economy, and greatly, its society. From their round table meeting held yesterday, House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (party affiliation deleted) brought up a new set of principles that conservative House Republicans had been laid out earlier in the day.
Obama and the other Democrats opposed to his closed door, small circuit actions, as well as the detailed plan, pressed McCain to say whether he supported Boehner's position. McCain declined to comment.......

Now for the scary part...
I'll just quote it from an article, so to make sure nothing is lost in translation.

"For much of the day, McCain shuttled between meetings and his Senate office, but rarely came close to the Capitol suites and committee rooms where the negotiations were taking place. He had returned to his Crystal City condominium by 6 p.m., where aides said he continued to work the phones in support of the deal.

Earlier, McCain had emerged from his office in the Russell Senate Office Building around noon to a crush of reporters, saying nothing as he made his way to Boehner's office. In tow were a trio of his closest allies, Sens. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), as well as top campaign aides Rick Davis and Mark Salter.

Boehner and McCain discussed the bailout plan, but Republican leadership aides described the conversation as somewhat surreal. Neither man was familiar with the details of the proposal being pressed by House conservatives, and up to the moment they departed for the White House yesterday afternoon, neither had seen any description beyond news reports.

At 1:25 p.m., McCain left Boehner's office through a back door, walking across the Capitol's rotunda to the applause of tourists. Graham conceded the group knew little about the plan the nominee had come to Washington to try to shape."

Republican, Democrat, Independent, Purple Nurple. It does not matter what your party affiliation is. When, as a presidential nominee, one cannot effectively argue beyond the bounds of media reports on a financial crisis resembling the marks of the Great Depression, how does the nation's citizens bare to trust this individual from here on out? Progress appeared to be had for the bail out plan, nevertheless, the economical problems which McCain has in part caused with his deregulatory policies has left him out of touch to effectively debate the issue with his rival. Hence, the interjection, political ploy, and public deception to buy time/halt the sliding numbers in national polls and cancel a debate, where most would have said at its conclusion, one of the following:
1. Obama owned McCain
2. That mutha-fucka got MURKED by Obama!
3. Chyea Boyyyyeeee! Represent! Southside!
4. Oh that poor old man. I hope he was wearing his Depends.
5. Obama is my homeboy.
