The real headline

The Obama campaign said Obama had called McCain around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday to propose that they issue a joint statement in support of a package to help fix the economy as soon as possible. McCain called back six hours later and agreed to the idea of the statement, the Obama campaign said. McCain's statement was issued to the media a few minutes later.

Also, did John "The fundamentals of the economy are strong," and "not well versed" on economic issues McCain become an economist while I wasn't looking?

So I guess it's true: "Diplomacy is the art of saying 'nice doggie' until you can find a rock."


Thanks to backrow for the heads up.
