AMERICAblog: While McCain is in NYC, Congress is wrapping up a deal

McCain too Distraught and Overwhelmed by economic crisis to debate and explain to the American people what clear ideas and solutions he has to handle this crisis. May be McCain is unable to handle the stress and is having a senior moment, because when you are President of the United States, there is no rest for the weary, and you are always on Call!
Or, is McCain really being dirty and underhanded, trying to pull the wool out from under Barack’s feet, when he reached out to him early Wedensday morning in a bi-partisan moment, so together they could show solidarity and release a Joint Statement, however, McCain did not like that idea and decidied to bring politics into an already unsteady situation in an attempt to aid his political career, pretending that it was he who reached out to Barack and not the otherway around! However, that was not good enough, he must one-up him and cancel the campaign all together, the crisis is so great, a sudden change of heart that makes McCain look phony and untrustworthy. That is not putting Country first, but we already know that by his Pallin pick!
And, of course, the debates should not be cancelled. A President has to be able to multi-task, big time! McCain’s cancelling looks more like a senior moment or that he is too overwhelmed and distraught to be albe to explain to the country just what he would do to address this problem. Maybe McCain will not be able to answer that 3:00 a.m. phone call as a President is always on call.
McCain the Wizard of Oz now pretends he has a heart, brain and courage! If so, its not working very well. His wall of lies and deceipt are closing in on him and soon there will be no place to hide, not even in the Senate. McCain you can run, you can lie, but you cannot hide and Humpty Dumpty couldnot be put together again!

McCain's whole deal his entire life when cornered is to play Hero, victim, hero, victim. That's his entire MO. Perfected in Hanoi no doubt. Sad, yes. And we don't want that as president. Unfit for command.
It's tough for me to be objective, but this only makes Obama look calm and assertive in a time of crisis. Will someone please tell me what McUsless is going to do once he actually gets to DC?? He is not privy to any of the meetings, he will only get in the way, and time is short. What's he going to do??? roam the halls of the capitol? Go fishing in the potomac?? What.
I don't get it. What an imbicil.

`Bailout Barney' Frank's Congress Refuses HBPA, and 750,000 Homes Are Repossessed
June 13, 2008 (EIRNS)—Realty Trac's latest foreclosure report shows that the accelerating loss in American home "value" is causing a self-feeding disaster of mass loss of homes. Not only is it brutally clear that Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson's HOPE Now Alliance scheme has been swept away by the foreclosure tsunami. It is the U.S. Congress's refusal to enact a freeze on mortgages and foreclosures—a key part of Lyndon LaRouche's proposed Homeowners and Bank Protection Act—which has turned the mortgage collapse into self-feeding spiral of economic destruction.
Nearly 74,000 homes were repossessed across the nation in May, meaning that since last October, homes are being lost to banks at a rate of 700,000 per year. Banks lending and servicing mortgages are holding, right now, more than 750,000 repossessed homes (1.5% of all homes which have, or had, mortgages outstanding). The pace of foreclosure actions by lenders and servicers is far higher, 3 million per year; so the repossession rate will keep rising.
Repossessed homes have come to dominate the home sales markets in the far West, upper Midwest, and parts of the Southeast where the mortgage meltdown is worst. A study released June 12 by two Lehman Brothers economists (they should know!) estimates that 30% of all home sales in the United States in 2008 will be of foreclosed homes—and this alone will add -6% to the plunge in home prices, which has already reached -15% from the September 2006 peak.
The accelerating plunge in prices, reaching about 2%/month by the end of the first quarter, is in turn the main driver of more and more foreclosures, as households are trapped in homes worth increasingly less than the mortgage debt they owe on them, and have to get out.
"This is what you got when your Congressman did not support the HBPA," Lyndon LaRouche commented. "Barney Frank, take notice."

Eggfugginexactly, and lets hear your explaination in barney franks hands in the sub-prime meltdown???!!!
Many of you have little knowledge on the history of the global financial heist. LaRouche has been predicting this for sometime. I have yet to hear anyone counter his arguments, cogently!
If you knew the history of how they defamed LaRouche, you would understand he was fighting the NEOCON agenda long before you thought it was popular. You have been propagandized to name call this man. If you don't understand the history of marginalizing men who speak out against this government, then you have no business calling them names.
Look up Conrad Black. Read about him, then come back and let's debate.

PD - who do you go to for economic forecasting? I am merely pointing out someone who has a much greater understanding of economic issues then wall streeters, academics and punks from congress who are duplicitous in this bailout. . Remember, defaming a man is modis-operandi for the neocons. While many here 'hate" LaRouche, he's been right about this mess for a long long time. And as i've mentioned, I have not seen anyone counter his arguments or for that matter said he was wrong. Are you bored with this subject of someone calling out the wrongs of both parties? Or have you bought the neocon propaganda?? And just so you know, LaRouche is listened to by many in the Halls of Congress, alot of them are chicken shit to admit it though.

It'd be funny if they passed the legislation before the photo-op. I'm sure the Republicans won't let that happen, but who knows? McCain may have worn out his welcome in a lot of places.

Bottom line: McCain is currently, in the current crisis, ONE of 100 Senators. He is NOT one of the 100 Senators who, by virtue of committee assignment, is central to the Congressional solution. He is merely 1 of 100 Senators whose yea or nay vote, on the solution drawn up by his colleagues, is required. That is ALL that is required of him at the current time for the current crisis.

At 8:08am EST I saw a McCain ad. THE Today show went to a commerical break...and THERE was the ad. but I saw on Morning Joe about 20 minutes earlier her say that there were no ads.....and that she would be pulled from doing anymore tv.

McCain does NOT have control on this debate. He agreed to it a while ago, this debate will go on with or without him but make no mistake...he does NOT determine if it goes on or not. The decision is not his to make.

Interestingly enough, what happens if he doesn't show up? Will Obama get an hour and half of free air time? If I was Obama, I would do it. He would get an audience of 40million people. Why not??

Clip Alert--After McCain personally called Dave Letterman yesterday afternoon to say there is a national emergency, "the economy's cratered", I'm returning to Washington and I must cancel my 5 minute previously scheduled interview, Dave reported last night he wished the Senator well and said goodbye. But, like McCain's, the famous Letterman temper must have stewed in troubled thought. Dave had to have concluded The Letterman Show, where Senator McCain announced his 2008 candidacy, was being played for cheap drama by a candidate on the poll skids. But, suddenly after a sizzling monologue, an OK top 10 list and half a terrific Olberman fill-in, a campaign moment burned itself into America's late night retina...Dave put a closed circuit feed, available in every CBS network control room, of Senator McCain on Dave's own air showing, on-set with Katie Couric, McCain chit-chatting as his $5K make-up person smeared a new "crisis" face on the aged, scar-covered canvas. In one shot, McCain's theatrical two-timing was out of the closet for a good chunk of late night America to see.

In McCain's defense, it does take quite a bit of time to have all that spackle set up....
Has anyone noticed that McCain moves like the tin man from the wizard of oz?? ""....oooil cannn".....I think he is saying 'oil can'.......!

Sort of like that scene in Goodfellas, where he's trying to make the dope deal, cook pasta and deal with relatives while helicopters are following his every move.

Looking at his droopy, sunken left eye this morning, I notice the mass on his left jaw looks noticeably bigger and is pulling the skin down. It's weight could be pulling that eye down.

Think he's "suspending" the campaign because he's running out of money, and this is a way to cancel ads for a few days and get a boatload of free media time?

What a joke. It is tough for me to see this through anything else than partisan eyes. So please, someone tell me if this entire pile of nonsense is comming off as so obviously political? He clearly wants to thwart answering questions about the economy, and at the same time push off, or cancel Palin's debate.
I can't be objective. Does someone know an undecided independent person to ask?

So he's running ads AND making campaign speeches. I guess when he used the word "suspension" he meant something else, just like when he said "economy" he meant "American workers".... Can anyone be buying this mess?

No, no one is. Very few on the hard right.....but the 6-10 percent of undecideds are looking at this negatively for McCain. I hope anyway.

I see the droopy eye is still there. I wonder if it is just something that shows up under extreme stress or when he is not well rested. was it Botox gone wrong? I would be willing to bet good money that he has those treatments because he does not have the wrinkles on the forehead that a 72 year old should have.

Or, is McCain really being dirty and underhanded, trying to pull the wool out from under Barack’s feet, when he reached out to him early Wedensday morning in a bi-partisan moment, so together they could show solidarity and release a Joint Statement, however, McCain did not like that idea and decidied to bring politics into an already unsteady situation in an attempt to aid his political career, pretending that it was he who reached out to Barack and not the otherway around! However, that was not good enough, he must one-up him and cancel the campaign all together, the crisis is so great, a sudden change of heart that makes McCain look phony and untrustworthy. That is not putting Country first, but we already know that by his Pallin pick!
And, of course, the debates should not be cancelled. A President has to be able to multi-task, big time! McCain’s cancelling looks more like a senior moment or that he is too overwhelmed and distraught to be albe to explain to the country just what he would do to address this problem. Maybe McCain will not be able to answer that 3:00 a.m. phone call as a President is always on call.
