Sow, this piece of news just hit the wire: according to an article in Time Magazine, Barack Obama called the McCain camp at 8:30 am to propose that they “issue a joint statement in support of a package to help fix the economy as soon as possible”.
The McCain camp used the six hours between the Barack Obama’s offer and their response to it to write a public statement in which they claimed responsibility for the idea. This public statement was, of course, issued immediately after this bi-partisan agreement was finalized.
In a lecherously transparent gesture of false humility, John McCain even went so far as to offer to “delay” Friday’s upcoming debate. How noble of John McCain to put off a debate which would his comparative political weakness.
