John McCain even lies to his celebrity friends.

Senator McCain was scheduled to be on “The Late Show: with David Letterman” this evening; however, he cancelled his appearance because, according to his campaign, he had to immediately fly to Washington in order to deal with the economic crisis.

The Senator himself placed a phone call to host David Letterman telling him that he would have to cancel his appearance at the last minute because of his sudden need to help set the wayward economy back on course. Of course, John McCain has had many chances to take part in the work done by the Senate – too bad he’s missed 401 out of 632 votes in Congress while campaigning.

But, I suppose it’s comforting for him to be stepping up to the plate now to take part in the clean-up of this economic disaster -considering he is partly to blame for championing deregulation with his pal Phill Gramm, passing legislation that paved the way for this impending economic implosion.

I’m bird-walking, so let’s get back to John McCain lying to his celebrity friends.

So David Letterman believes McCain and thanks him for the phone call. Then, he comes to find out that John McCain isn’t on a flight back to Washington, nor is he on his way to the airport, nor is he stuck in traffic on route to his “Straight Talk Express”, no…he’s being interviewed.

By who?

CBS’s Katie Couric, in the CBS Evening News studio, just down the street from “The Late Show” studio.

If you’re going to lie John McCain, you might want to consider not doing it to someone who’s on the same network as the interview you decided to give to try to politcize the financial crisis. I know McCain doesn’t understand fancy technology very well, but there are these things called network feeds that people in production booths have access to…

You’ve gotta love David Letterman for saying what sooo many people were thinking. Enjoy.

The Economy

John McCain is Wrong

A person has to wonder what color is the sky in Senator John McCain’s world?

Because it’s becoming more and more clear that he is not inhabiting the same world as the rest of us.

As middle-class families continue to struggle to make ends meet in an economy that looks worse and worse with each passing day, John McCain declares that the “fundamentals of our economy are strong”.

I guess it’s easier to see the strength in the economy sitting in one of your 8 houses or cruising in one of your 13 cars.

But for the rest of us, who have to choose between putting gas in our beat-up, not-so-new car or getting groceries for the week, things aren’t looking so rock solid.

And a President John McCain?

It’s looking like the sky is going to be a different color in his world as well.

He hasn’t offered any real solutions to help the middle-class.

Off-shore drilling that won’t bring new gas resources to the American people for 20 years? It helps no one but the Oil Industry.

Deregulating healthcare like John McCain did with the banking industry? We see how well that’s worked out as companies crumble and taxpayers are called upon to pick-up the pieces.

Kicking lobbyists out of Washington? Well it could be a conceivable goal if John McCain just keeps hiring them to run his campaign.

And what’s worse is that John McCain is lying to the American people as often as he can as much as possible.

He knows that Barack Obama will put middle-class families first by providing a tax cut of up to $1,000.00 for more than 90% of working Americans.

He knows that Barack Obama has been working to stop the mortgage crisis since 2006 when he introduced legislation aimed at stopping mortgage transactions that promoted fraud or abuse.

He knows that Barack Obama will show his lobbyist pals to the door since Obama has not accepted contributions from lobbyists or PACs throughout this campaign.

I don’t know what color the sky is in John McCain’s world, but I have no doubt that when I look up at the sky it’s the same color sky that Barack Obama sees.

John McCain is wrong and what’s worse is that he knows it.

Barack Obama is the change we need.

The New McCain/Palin Button

In the spirit of bi-partisanship I decided to be nice and design a new campaign button for the McCain/Palin ticket.

I’m a giver, you see.

I thought their current button could use a bit of a sprucing up and maybe find a way to communicate with just a glance what it is that they’ll bring to Washington.

You don’t have to thank me John McCain – knowing you’re the only one that has every fought for me is thanks enough.
