McCain heads to Washington to at least try to do something to assist in fixing this economic mess.
Where's Obama? Well, you can find him in Florida hanging out in a hotel room memorizing a world map and the leaders of the world so he can speak to it at Friday's pending debate.
Palin gets no foreign policy cred at all. What is Obama's? What is his foreign policy experience? Does anyone have any concern that this guy would rather be brushing up on where Venezuela is located rather than helping to address a purported economic disaster?
Is this who you want for a President, we are in crisis mode and Obama hides in a hotel room? Bush has to call him to come to Washington. He is a senator, right? He is drawing a paycheck for that job isn't he? Granted, he really only has 2 years of real Senatorial experience. He might have forgotten. Geez, that is scary.

Gaffes Starting to Pile up on Obama
Obama love has been going on for 4 years. He really hasn't felt any heat. Hillary's campaign did a poor job of exposing him to scrutiny and he got a free pass from the press on most issues. Europe and the world love Obama as revealed by the latest world-wide polls. The Russians prefer Obama, The British PM loves Obama, the French prefer Obama and Kenya overwhelmingly loves Obama. With so much love, why is Obama starting to look like a beaten man?
Because the love that counts, the American voter, is starting to open their eyes and ask, is this man who accomplished so little in the U.S. Senate really about any change? He took office in the Senate in 2005, yes he was voted in 2004, but doesn't take office until January of 2005 (For some reason people want to give him a full year's credit for 2004). So he was in office two and half years before he started to focus on the Presidency in mid 2007. His only real accomplishment was the following bill S. 2125 [109th]: Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act of 2006.
That is all he has gotten done. He hasn't changed anything. He hasn't crossed the party on an issue. Never mind he hasn't really voted in 2008 on any issue. He doesn't even chair a committee http://www.votesmart.org/bio.php?can_id=BS030017.
People are starting to awaken and realize he talks the same old Democratic game. He wants to raise taxes, he wants to redistribute wealth and I believe he wants to sacrifice our national security to please Europe. You have to question why Europeans love Obama so much? Why? Because they see him as a strong leader or because they see him as weak leader that they can exploit to their benefit. Are they going to pull one over on John McCain, probably not. Will they on Obama, who really knows, he has never been in the position.
Is Obama a bad guy, no, he seems like genuinely nice guy. So was Jimmy Carter. He was a disaster from both a foreign and domestic standpoint.
I think Americans are starting to look at Obama and see a weak president like Jimmy Carter. The strains of the election are starting to get to Obama and he is showing signs of weakness. No one can talk from a teleprompter like Obama, but his answers to tough questions by Rick Warren and Bill O'Reilly show he is not good under the gun and I think he is losing confidence in answering off the cuff questions. It's not a cakewalk anymore, and don't give me that he lived through the Democratic primaries, that was a cake walk compared to going up against the Republican machine. I'm glad we have the Republican machine because it will vet the Democratic candidate like no other, obviously the media doesn't vet him. He is getting strained by the attacks from the right and he wants to bring the focus on the issues. The problem is, the issues have always been issues. Every election year there is talk about jobs, taxes, foreign relations, national security, etc., all very important stuff but elections are also about character, personality, accomplishments and ideology. When you have been associated with racists (Rev. Wright), civic terrorists (Ayers) and felons (Rezko); beaten up for lack of legislative accomplishments when that is your job and exposed as weak on foreign policy, it will get to you.
Watch Obama closely, his rhetoric doesn't have the energy anymore. His eyes are looking a little tired and his body language is one that shows he is concerned. I think after his convention speech he thought he was going to get love from everywhere and coast to victory, but when the Republicans punched him with Palin, he is slow to get up. This is my view from what I have noticed in post convention interviews and at recent stump speeches. If he was poker player, you could read him like book. Watch him.

My All Fantasy Football Political Team
In honor of the start of the NFL season and the beginnings of a hopefully successful fantasy football season, I will provide my All Fantasy Football Political Team. This team has 1 Quarterback, 2 Running Backs, 2 Wide-Receivers, 1 Flex, 1 Tight End, 1 Kicker and 1 Defense/Special Teams.
QB - John McCain. I want someone that can hit the hail mary pass and McCain did it with his choice of Palin. He avoided the career ending sack in Hanoi. In addition, he showed he is in charge with his electrifying ending of his speech at the convention.
RB1 - Al Gore. He invented the internet. He flies around the world burning fuel to promote global warming to save the planet. If anyone is capable of rushing 2000 yards it's this superman and I want him on my team.
RB2 - The Republican Party. Nobody avoids the potential tackles from George Bush and Dick Cheney better than the Republican Party at their own convention. Cheney wasn't even there and Bush appeared through video. Anybody that can run around a political nightmare like that, I want on my team.
WR 1 - Sarah Palin. She caught the deep pass from McCain and took it in for a touchdown. Based on the fact that she has entered the national scene for about a week and is already more popular than Obama or Hillary, I see many more touchdowns in the future.
WR 2 - Lynn Swann. The hall of famer wide receiver has been campaigning for McCain. He has caught the deep ball by avoiding the "you should support Obama because you are African American" and stuck to his core principles. I want the HOF Wide Receiver on my team.
Flex Position - Joe Lieberman. No one is a more flexible player than Lieberman. He's a democrat, who runs as an independent, who campaigns for a Republican. How much more flex can you get than that? He also mentioned Bill Clinton's name at the Republican convention and got an applause. He's good, I have the ultimate flexible player and he is in my starting line up.
TE - Joe Biden. Anyone more tight than this guy? Looks like his head is going to explode at any moment. I saw a press video of him hugging two older women twins at the same time, one in each arm, and I thought their heads were going to pop off. I want this guy as my tight end.
K - Fred Thompson. His poor campaigning shows he can't quarterback but his speech capabilities and one liners make him a great field goal kicker. Bring him in when the offense is sputtering a bit, he will be consistent.
Def/ST - The 2008 Republican Presidential Candidates. The non-winners have shown up and played defense and have attacked the Dems. Giuliani, Romney, Thompson and Huckabee were blasting away at the Repub convention, at the Dem convention, on the talk show circuit and at press conferences, you name it and they have been there. Where were the former dem candidates over the last week?
