Let’s face it, TB. Obama IS going to get ensnared in Dubya’s mess in 2 months. Come January 21, 2009, there will be absolutely no way for him to avoid it.
So I really can’t see the point in “staying above the fray” for the next 10 weeks. Seriously. Is this about politics or about what’s best for our country? Because given how fast this thing is unravelling, it would seem prudent to dive in ASAP and get a real sense of just how deep this rabbit hole goes and getting an understanding of how bad other world leaders think this is going to get and where their heads are, rather than waiting until January.
In 10 weeks, Americans aren’t going to care WHO created this mess or how badly Obama is ensnared in it. The only thing they will want and expect is *change*, answers and solutions.
You can run, Obammy. But you can’t hide.

I’m certain that Obama has made the economy his #1 focus. Just because he’s chosen not to attend some ridiculous conference doesn’t mean that he hasn’t already dove headfirst into some serious economic study.
Bush just wanted The Great Obama to attend the summit so it would look like TGO was backing Dumbya’s economic policies. TGO is way, way too smart for that.
