Quoting the article:

John McCain suspended his campaign and parachuted into Washington, forcing Obama to attend a staged meeting at the White House.

[End quote]

Unfortunate, when Mr. Obama had better things to do with his time and issues of greater import requiring his attention.

Bill Clinton, once elected, was accused of running a permanent campaign, lessening his attention to important concerns and affecting his response. The same accusation against Obama could be damaging.
