I find it telling that President Bush is asking both McCain and Obama to Washington to attend White House meetings with Congressional leaders to work on a compromise. Hm…now I could actually understand this if it was mid-November, and he was inviting the President-elect. But one of these two fellows isn’t going to be anything other than a failed candidate in 6 weeks or so. Involving both of them at a high level just moves the politics of the election into a situation that needs to be focused on solving a problem. Regardless of your position on whether or not the candidates should postpone Friday’s debate, this looks to me like a man who just wants out of the spotlight at this point.

I realize Bush is a lame duck at this point, but wow…
