Obama: There needs to be a sense of urgency


Posted: 06:39 PM ET

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Sen. Barack Obama said lawmakers will eventually agree on a bailout plan but said that there needs to be a "sense of urgency for everybody."

Obama told CNN after a White House meeting that some progress was made Thursday but he was concerned that the attendance of the two presidential hopefuls in the negotiations could cause problems.

Watch: Congress reaches bailout deal?

"I've been concerned for some time that when you start interjecting presidential politics into delicate negotiations, you could actually create more problems than less," Obama said. "It is amazing what you can get done when the cameras are not on and people are not looking to get credit or allocate blame."

4. McCain I understand did the Grand Standing and of course Bush staged this
...fiasco.

This is hoping the last republican rat bastard betrayal the democrats will allow and I encourage Barack and the other democrats to expose this for what it was, a dog and pony show orchestrated by the rePukes and the White Hose (not house).
