Age Card? Obama Campaign Won't Let McCain 'Wander Around' in FL, MI

Dirty pool?

Just a few days ago, Barack Obama scoffed at the suggestion he was playing the age card when he accused John McCain of "losing his bearings." But check out the way the Obama campaign has now chosen to say that it wouldn't leave the playing field in Michigan and Florida to its Republican opponent:

"We're not going to let John McCain wander around in those states unchallenged anymore."

Wander around? Like the nice ol' feller from down the block found ambling down the street in his bathrobe who has to be gently led back home?

I just love it when liberals go after each other.

Demented vs dementia. Are these dopes really POTUS candidates?

Actually, Obama is a very nasty piece of work. So is his wife.

I have to admit, this is getting funnier by the day: McCain says Barry and Hamas get together just fine............... while Barry says McCain is losing his bearings wandering around the everglades looking for votes.
ROTFLMAO!!!!

Reagan Mondale Debates:

QUESTION: Mr. President, I want to raise an issue that I think has been lurking out there for two or three weeks, and cast it specifically in national security terms. You already are the oldest President in history, and some of your staff say you were tired after your most recent encounter with Mr. Mondale. I recall, yes, that President Kennedy, who had to go for days on end with very little sleep during the Cuba missile crisis. Is there any doubt in your mind that you would be able to function in such circumstances?

REAGAN: Not at all, Mr. Trewhitt and I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience. If I still have time, I might add, Mr. Trewhitt, I might add that it was Seneca or it was Cicero, I don't know which, that said if it was not for the elders correcting the mistakes of the young, there would be no state.

This sounds like it's going to be a very nasty campaign, with everybody trying to claim the high ground while taking shots at each other.

If the fate of the free world wasn't riding on the outcome of this election, it would be very easy to just make some popcorn, sit back and enjoy the show. On the other hand, it really is all about selecting the least of all the evils.

These sneaky references to old age by the Obama campaign are starting to pile up. I’m sure glad McCain has decided to run an “honorable campaign” so he can play by the “rules” until he ends up like Harvey from ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ with his balls kicked in.

This off-topic, but it concerns Obama.

Why don't we seize the opportunity provided by the MSM's cramming of Obama down our throats to permanently de-claw the IRS?

This post (<-click), while addressing taxes, helps to explain why government "leaders" like Senator Obama are actually in contempt of the Constitution that they have sworn to defend, foolishly following in the footsteps of FDR's dirty federal spending politics. In fact, the article referenced below shows that Obama is the #1 federal spending proposer in the Senate for '08; Clinton is #2.

Obama, a big-shot federal spender
The people need to reconnect with the Founder's division of federal and state government powers. The people then need to wise up to the major problem that the federal government is not operating within the restraints of the federal Constitution, particularly where constitutionally unauthorized federal spending is concerned.

The bottom line is that the people need to send big-shot, Constitution-ignoring federal spenders like Obama home as opposed to trying to send people like him to the Oval Office. The people need to get in the faces of the feds, demanding a stop to constitutionally unauthorized federal spending while appropriately lowering federal taxes - or get out of DC.

I think Obama does not want Senator McCain to wander around in those extra 7 states that Obama has found....but not identified by name.
This is in response to Obama the other day saying words to the effect that he has visited 57 states already but had not yet gotten to Alaska or Hawaii.

LOLOL!!!!

I don't think McCain wants to lose his bearings and wander around the 57 Islamic States either............... wouldn't be good for his health. That's Obama territory for sure. :-p

Great line. I'd love to hear McCain respond with something along those lines, but I sadly doubt he would.

They will find ways to bring up McCain’s age more often than Mary Cheney’s sexualaity was brought up in 2000 and 2004. We will be hearing new code words for decrepit and senile. And the Gloria Steinems will be trotted out to denigrate his military service again.

I can’t believe that the rat party has found someone more stupid than Dodd. obama drags stupid around like a puppy with a bone.

His campaign slogan should be: “I’m so stupid, that the measurement goes past the moon.”

O-stoooooooopid!!
