87. I think Obama was still able to answer questions

Mar 2020

in the Fall of 2008 when the economy was crashing and jobs were shedding at an alarming rate. I remember McCain announcing he was suspending campaigning in order to deal with it-- right before the big Senate vote in which all the Republicans panned the Bailout.

So, if Bernie wants no distractions from our epochal crisis, maybe he should announce he needs to suspend this campaign so he can properly attend to his.. you know.. his day job.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
