PITTSBURGH, PA -- Obama reacted to his rival's pick of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as a running mate and walked back a statement put out by his campaign that called the governor inexperienced.
"I haven't met her before. She seems like a compelling person, obviously a terrific story, personal story. And you know, I'm sure that she will help make the case for the Republicans,"
"I congratulate her and look forward to a vigorous debate," he said.
Obama and Biden released a joint written statement earlier congratulating Palin, saying she was "an admirable person and will add a compelling new voice to this campaign.”
But a campaign also issued a statement that called into question her experience. "Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency," wrote spokesman Bill Burton. "Gov. Palin shares John McCain's commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush's failed economic policies -- that's not the change we need, it's just more of the same."
Obama appeared to dismiss Burton's statement. "I think that ... campaigns start getting these, uh uh, hair triggers, and the statement that Joe and I put out reflects our sentiments," Obama said When asked about the contradiction in the tone of the two statements.

Foot-in-mouth syndrome.
And Obama was a lowly "community organizer".

Looks like it’s Burton’s turn under the bus!
“”I think that ... campaigns start getting these, uh uh, hair triggers, and the statement that Joe and I put out reflects our sentiments,” Obama said”
I love that they put the “uh uh” in there. LOL!!
No?.......
He must have been listening to Sean :-)
Let me guess - he approved it before he didn’t approve it.
This is what amateur hour looks like folks...they are communist kids who think they are on top of the world.
Obama, and his pinko ilk, are just too stupid. They will lose in November. McCain turned up 4-of-a-kind when the river card was dealt this morning....
Go McCain/Palin !!!
She trumps you BO..lay off the girl. She might nail you with her 44mag. Then use your remains for crab bait.
Her fast gun for hire heeds the calling wind. A soldier of fortune is the woman called Palin.
Palin, Palin Where do you roam?
Palin, Palin, Far, far from home.
That’s a pretty big gape you got there. lol
... and slipped and fell on his keister.
how can they be sooo stooopid as to let out a statement about INEXPERIENCE with a record like his??? the mind boggles...

Chode, I wonder how many other wholesome, innocent people on FR would get the Obama symbol one you posted.
Bad memories, dude.
