CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Sen. Barack Obama today met with some of his many economic advisors and made an announcement that he was not going to make an announcement about any new plan to plan plans.

Obama did suggest a bipartisan effort to deal with the financial crisis wreaking havoc on Wall Street, always a good idea for any candidate after the primaries because it sounds good and costs nothing.

But Obama did not present any detailed proposal of his own for how to resolve the monetary situation that has roiled world markets in recent days.

You can’t blame him. They haven’t had the time to load his “plan” into the teleprompter!

It's kind of hard to come up with solutions when the problem is the adviser.

Jay Leno in his opening monologue tonight on “The Tonight Show” to pointS out an essential presidential campaign unfairness, that Obama has criticized McCain’s economic plan but the Republican can’t respond because “nobody knows what it is yet.”

Obama needs to consult with his 300 economic advisers before he can bring up a plan.

Obama’s opinion on Russia invading George? Present??

Obama’s opinion on AIG rescue loan? Present??

Holding a press conference to announce that he was not going to make an announcement about any new plan to plan plans? Ridiculous.

Obama is sometimes able to vote “present” but most of the time he is just AWOL, which, in his case, is probably a good thing.

“Obama needs to consult with his 300 economic advisers before he can bring up a plan. “

That will be interesting........ since 100 or so of his ‘advisors’ caused the whole mortgage meltdown and made off like bandits! /sarcasm

They are scared of this folks! We need to hammer it home and the McCain Campaign needs to be shouting it from the rooftops!

Remember:

THE ONLY TIME DEMOCRATS WANT BIPARTISANSHIP IS WHEN THEY ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE!!

He’s certainly planning on forming a plan, but at present the plan does not include a planned planning session to plan a plan. When the plan does include a planned planning session, he certainly plans to attend.

The One doesn’t need a plan. Not if his election marks the date when the earth and the markets begin to heal.
