Who’s pushing McCains wheelchair?

Trying to imagine the traditionally well publicized presidential jog with McCain was president, the first mental picture my mind pieced together was him in a wheelchair, hands up in excitement being pushed down the White House front lawn by some intern.  Erroneous as all that is, I’m wondering who is pushing his political wheelchair right now.  Someone was pushing McCains wheelchair faster than Obama’s party could jog in the past week.  Though McCain is a soft Republican trying to bridge parties, Obama is tagged as the main proponent of slashing bipartisanship.  This is why I was shocked when I heard that McCain’s party had seized the moment first to call for a break in campaigning to address the immediate concerns of the US economy.  Political props to whoever is pushing that wheelchair and initiated that political move. 

However, McCain called for a halt to everything campaign related, including a debate.  Even though, the bi-partisanship  axing maneuver trumps most other moves, it seems that McCain is running away from a debate that will undoubtably be surrounded with economy questions.  A subject he cant seem to project any kind of experience ( a backbone to his campaign).  Obama has the better ability to face these economic questions. 

More importantly, McCain’s call to delay the debate highlights that he understands the importance of addressing this economic meltdown, but also that he is unable to understand and address it himself at a debate.  Or he is just scared to do it.

Obama’s rebuttle was suprisingly perfect.  He disagreed with delaying the debate and simply stated that maybe the future president might have to address more… than one issue at a time.

Obama/Biden – 2pts

I can only imagine a 2 on 2 pick-up game between Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin and how potentially entertaining that might be.  The one discrepency that McCain fans will be likely identify is not that Obama is racially inclined to be better or that McCain is too old make a proper bounce pass, but a clear disadvantage of having a girl on the team.   Regardless of a rocky memory, I confidently remember the biggest blow to your chances of winning any boyhood game was through some painful processs of a girl getting smuggled onto your team.  Usually, this came in the form of last pick.  Im not saying a girl on the team automatically equates to losing, but it was my boyhood perception.  I matured…sort of.

Now im questioning McCain VP selection process, because he is facing an opposite perception; that a women on his team will boost his popularity among women voters and chance at winning.  Well, like me as a boy, perception must be guiding McCain’s choice.  Either that, or the finger of a blind-folderd McCain landed on Sarah Palin’s name.  In weak attempt to woo Hillary supporters, McCain has attached himself to a politician that hardly any Americans know and one that he is even less familiar with.  Nevertheless, being an election or a Basketball game, gender is percieved as a factor.  I hope voters can distinguish the difference.

Fortunately, in respect of the game, these duos will never meet on the hardwood, except for debating in highschool gyms.  While McCain tries to explain his VP pick, Obama has enough time to take interviews with Stuart Scott from espn.  You can blame it the lazy eye, but Obama had enough game to take on Stuart Scott.  Obama/Biden – 2 points.  Check it out…
