Senator Obama has postponed his upcoming 'Saturday Night Live' appearance due to Hurricane Ike barreling toward Texas.
"In light of the unfolding crisis in Texas, Sen. Obama has decided it is no longer appropriate to appear on 'Saturday Night Live' tomorrow evening," Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki explained in a statement.

Postponing an appearance on a TV comedy show during a natural disaster is appropriate. McCain trying to prove his presidential qualities by dashing to the gulf during his party's national convention is not. You gotta have a brain and some decency to know the difference, though.
Good decision. Fey was great!
Excellent move by the one and only..he can always reshedule after his victory.
Ike isn't the reason that Obama "postponed his appearance." The reason is that his staff is finally figuring out that whenever he insults Palin, he gets his butt kicked in the polls. I have no doubt that he was told to cancel the skit that (I am sure) was written in a way to ridicule Governor Palin.

I really admire this man, OBAMA...he's hardly taken a wrong step in this campaign so far..
I didn't want him to go on there anyway. Sorry the hurricane kept him
from appearing but I don't trust that show since what they did to him
when he was campaigning against HIllary.
Must see - PALIN SUPPORTS OBAMA

I'm glad they cancelled Biden's campaign appearance. Joe's looking tired. He can use a little rest.
Good - we don't need more hot air at this point.
Oh you mean the hot air that McCain used to help George W. Bush blow out his Birthday Cake candles while Americans were suffering and dieing after Hurricane Katrina? Once again ignorant Republican who make no sense.
It's not like he cancelled Meet the Press or something. SNL is a comedy show, for crying out loud. He's a no show out of respect to the hurricane victims. BTW, if he had gone on there tonight, the neo cons and Mac supporters would be screaming that he was callous. Obama is between a rock and hard place in this basically bigoted, overly conservative country of ours.
Just because McCain can taste Carl Rove's johnson doesn't mean that we have to lose site of our civility and compassion. It wasn't right to hold a politcal rally in light of Gustav, although Republics chose to, and it's not right to talk about non-critical issues at a time when Lehman Brothers is about to fail, people are suffering in the aftermath of hurricane Ike, and gas prices are surely to rise.
Should he run a celebrity ad featuring Hilton? Get real. John McCain may want to avoid the press and the issues, but a leader with integrity would not.
it's time to fight fire with fire. as far as I'm concerned, the new Obama campaign slogan should be:
"There Will Be Blood."
In order to be a leader with integrity, he needs to be elected, and playing nice isn't working.
I just sent Barack an email complaining about this and his way too nice tactics in general. It probably won't do any good, but it made me feel slightly better.
Let's see - I recall during Ka trina we had a Pre sident that was too busy eating birthday cake with JMc to realize what was going on in N.O. and we had Con di Rice shopping for shoes un north some where, and we had Barbara B00sh telling someone that these people were used to having nothing so they were better off living in a fil thy coliseum...and where was F E M A?
O bama should have offered JMc a walk-on opportunity or he could play that creepy husband part he did back in 2002 on SNL...
