Bear in mind that Senator Obama wants to run the executive branch starting in January. At a moment when his country needs leadership and Congress is meeting to determine policy that will affect the executive branch for the next several months and years, he doesn’t consider his role as a Senator important enough to take part in those negotiations. “If I can be helpful,” Obama says, indicating that he doesn’t consider fulfilling his current responsibilities helpful or even desirable.
Instead he wants to let everyone know that this is a “sufficiently important problem”. Sufficiently important how? Apparently, “sufficiently important” to issue press statements, but not “sufficiently important” to get back to work for a few days. What would constitute a problem “sufficiently important” enough for him to do that? Congress needs to address a $700 billion bailout that Obama has already stated will severely restrict his policy options if he wins the elections. Doesn’t he have a “sufficiently important” interest in that, either?
Obama has another problem with returning to Washington, one that received little attention in the analysis of McCain’s challenge yesterday. Obama has to raise $3 million each day in order to hit his target of $100 million a month. He needs to conduct fundraisers constantly in order to make that goal. Taking three or four days off the campaign trail means a potential loss of revenue for Obama, one he can ill afford at the moment. That’s a “sufficiently important problem” that would keep Obama out of Washington.
The only sufficiently important problem to this narcissistic liberal is anything that gets in the way of fulfilling his ambition.
You have to be a fool not to see this.
And there are fools a plenty:
We need a head of state who will restore the dignity that befits the office of president; one whose sense of gravitas matches the seriousness of the matters presently besetting our nation
I am not given to hyperbole so it is in quite a literal way that I believe the election of Barack Obama and the chance for his principles and polices to get a legislative hearing, is a matter of life and death for countless people around the globe, and for the dream that is our country.

I've not seen this level of idiocy in my life.
I'm not kidding.
