Or maybe they got confused and think McCain is President. I wasn't too sure myself
the way McCain was talking in his speech.

4. This really should backfire big time on McCain.
Talking several times daily with the Georgian president? Promising who knows what. Sending his own DELEGATION to Georgia? Who the hell does he think he is?

7. Putin outmaneuvered the US, too
He simply went directly to France, another permanent member of the UNSC.

And McCain looks like he's trying to usurp Bush, which makes the whole Bush/Cheney administration appear weak.

It's like there is currently no executive branch.

10. Exactly. The situation is nonsensical in how its developed. McCain is in some major drama.
Now he has to face the problems.

20. "It's like there is currently no executive branch."
Which is actually true..........from a certain point of view.

16. Which candidate was it again who was supposed to be presumptious and arrogant?
Oh, I get it!

McCain:

1) believes his own smears against Obama.

2) knows Obama is kicking his ass.

3) Decides to be more like Obama, but instead gets confused and acts like his caracature instead...

:rofl:

17. AAAAHHHH !!!!
For TWO GOD DARNED WEEKS, we got the MSM spewing the right wing NEGATIVE SPIN on his trip oversees about how he "was crossing the line and acting like he was already the president" ...

Now, you have McCain ACTUALLY CROSSING THE LINE and acting like the president ...

And, the MSM ... Bird chirping while they say "IN THEORY, the Georgia conflict "helps" McCain because of his foreign policy creds" ...

MOTHER FRUCKING CRAPE !!!

8. Johnathon Alter
"We're supposed to have only one president at a time."

Olbermann and Clarence Page now talking about how terrible McCain is being with foreign policy.

13. Noted obvious hypocrisy of McCain's
"Countries don't invade other countries in the 21st century" remark.

Looks to me like this shit is going to backfire big time on McCain.

Obama should just spend the next three months on vacation. McCain is doing a superb job of defeating himself.

15. McCain has inserted himself into this mess..
and is getting deeper and deeper by the day. This is going to backfire. Most Americans, even the "low information voters", will not understand why the fuck we are bothering with "Georgia" -- hell it ain't even the real "Georgia"!

19. Lobbyist for every occasion
McCain has no credibility on this with a paid Georgian lobbyist as his senior foreign policy advisor. Wow. It seems McCain has a lobbyist for every occasion.
