In the first, and what appears to be last, of the presidential debates, Senator Obama agreed with nearly everything that his Republican rival said. "I agree with Senator McCain that we need tighter regulation of Wall Street... Senator McCain and I agree on the need for an overhaul on how we do business in Washington," the Illinois Senator said. Mr. Obama made it a point to tell the American people no less than six times that he agreed with John McCain, that John McCain was right. And in a soliloquy that most Americans may have missed for its eloquence and subtlety, Senator Obama graciously bowed out of the presidential race. "Again, my opponent is right. He really does make a lot of very good points, doesn't he? In fact, why don't we just let him run the country? With his concise slogans, snap decisions, unpredictable temperament, and stubborn refusal to acknowledge both the truth and any valid points I make, he is clearly more suited to the job. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to return to my home state where I intend to continue fighting to raise taxes for poor families and to make sure that kindergarteners have graphic sex education in all public schools. Right after my afternoon prayer session. Which way is Mecca?"
