Even if you think of John McCain’s plan to stop campaigning after he talks to the Clinton Global Initiative this morning is a grandstanding Hail Mary from someone who can’t multitask and shouldn’t be president, Barack Obama’s statement in response shows a serious lack of understanding the Constitution. Obama thinks he (or McCain) will become president November 5.



With respect to the debates, it?s my believe that this is exactly the time the American people need to hear from the person who in approximately forty days will be responsible for dealing with this mess and I think that it is going to be part of the presidents job to deal with more than one thing at once. And I think there?s no reason why we can?t be constructive in helping to solve this problem and also tell the American people what we believe and where we stand.


Forty days in the desert?
