Obamessiah's Bitter Response

I guess the Obamessiah was miffed at being summoned from his debate prep to Washington to do his job as a highly paid U.S. Senator. After a day spent wrangling about the bill, Obama has released a particularly bitter statement that may just swing this thing McCain's way:

Will the bailout deal stalled in Congress due to opposition from House Republicans, the Obama campaign released the following statement:

"John McCain sought to change the subject from his out-of-touch response to the economic crisis with a big announcement that he was 'suspending' his campaign. But the only thing McCain really wants suspended is the American people's disbelief. In fact, he's been in full campaign mode the entire time...

"When McCain finally arrived in Washington, almost twenty-four hours after his announcement -- and after Congressional leadership announced a deal in principle -- he huddled with his lobbyist campaign advisors while his running mate held a political rally and his political spokesmen and surrogates were out in full force, continuing to attack Barack Obama.

"So make no mistake: John McCain did not 'suspend' his campaign. He just turned a national crisis into an occasion to promote his campaign. It's become just another political stunt, aimed more at shoring up the Senator's aimed more at shoring up the Senator's political fortunes than the nation's economy. And it does nothing to help advance this critical legislation to protect the American people during this time of economic crisis."

I posted elsewhere that it appeared Dems were trying to kill the deal so they can blame it on McCain. This statement looks like part of that effort.

Obama's reaction may explain why he's plunging in the Gallup polls and the candidates are now tied. This statement may steepen the plunge.
