You should add the "we can do more than two things at once" part of the quote. That's the smackdown part.
BooYasaah!
A Democrat with Testicles? Is America ready for that?
Here's the longer quote (not in the linked story, but on cnn.com):
"It's my belief that this is exactly the time when the American people need to hear from the person will be the next president," Obama said. "It is going to be part of the president's job to deal with more than one thing at once. It's more important than ever to present ourselves to the American people."
This has been your daily "Fuck Yeah! Moment".
Brought to you, as always, by the Obama 2008 Campaign.
Isn't this debate supposed to be about foreign policy?
Obama should go a step further and propose that the economy debate be moved to tonight.
the inaguration is more than 40 days away.
Realizing that polls on teh internets aren't exactly scientific...this still seems pretty damning, with 79% of 85,000 votes disagreeing with postponing:

Not tonight, Friday.
@6: Lame duck presidents often go into cruise control after the election. At that point, especially after a two-termer, the elected president starts to be briefed on state matters and becomes increasingly more involved and visible. The only thing they can't do is sign things. The sitting president will generally get to work on "eff you" policies and presidential pardons.
Unless it's a contested election, in which case, discretion is the word of the day.
You know, I was kinda wondering all week long about the possibility of the proverbial "October Surprise".
Except I was thinking in terms of what is Obama going to do/say/get busted for? Or what totally insignificant bullshit is everyone going to latch onto?
Anyone else still not totally comfortable about this? Am I just paranoid/cynical to think things are going too well for our side?
@9 I shudder to think what a lame duck "eff you" policy would even BE from Bush. His entire fucking presidency has been an "eff you." Well at least the pardons won't be necessary since EVERYONE GOT AWAY WITH EVERYTHING.
Obama's in your face, Republican Socialists!
Get USED to THAT!
We won't support spine-less NO-Bama and will re-defeat him in November !! Go Hillary 2012 !!
@10: I'm with you there. Maybe they'll go overtly racist, and try for a hail mary pass with their base. Is it just me, or has Obama had more Secret Service incidents than any other nominee? And we thought the Rodney King riots were bad...
