Obama mocks Cheney endorsement of McCain
AFP on Yahoo ^ | 11/1/08 | AFP

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Democrat Barack Obama on Saturday lambasted Vice President Dick Cheney's endorsement of Republican John McCain as proof the Republican ticket is synonymous with President George W. Bush's administration.

After Cheney hailed McCain as the right person to lead the country, saying the Arizona senator "understands the danger facing America," Obama mocked the Republicans for attempting to continue the policies of the last eight years.

"Earlier today Dick Cheney came out of his undisclosed location and he hit the campaign trail," Obama told a rally in Pueblo, Colorado, quoting Cheney as saying he was "delighted" to back McCain.

"So I would like to congratulate Senator McCain on this endorsement, because he really earned it. That endorsement didn't come easy. Senator McCain had to vote with George Bush 90 percent of the time and agree with Dick Cheney to get it," Obama said.

"McCain had to serve as Washington's biggest cheerleader for going to war in Iraq and support its economic policies that are no different from the last eight years."

On the campaign trail with just three days to go before the November 4 election, Obama used Cheney's endorsement to highlight his own platform of change.

"Do you think Dick Cheney is delighted to support John McCain because he thinks John McCain is going to bring change to Washington? Do you think John McCain and Dick Cheney have been talking about how to really shake things up?" he asked.

I’m sure Obama didn’t have to work hard to get endorsements from Hamas, Farakhan, Kadafi and Iran.

Obama thinks the country hates Bush. He's imbibing the Daily Kos Kool-Aid.

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tired of Senator Obama. I really want him to join a Greek Orthodox monastery high in the mountains where they observe the vow of silence for 30 years.

Dick Cheney came out of his "undisclosed location" on his own accord to back McCain.

Bill Ayers got a presidential pardon, to come out of prison, in order to back Obama.

Obama loves to use the Goebel’s tactic of ridicule. It tells me a lot about him.

When is auntie hitting the boat back. A court ordered her deported ...

Auntie is the the poster child for all that is broken with immigration.

How sweet, the Obama campaign gave Auntie her $265 contribution.

Who do you expect him to support, Obama? He’s the Republican VP! He’s not going to support a radical liberal like you. He’s knows that’s not the change this country needs.

This guy is like the punk on the playground who mocks others while hiding behind the safety of his friends. I’m really getting sick of it.

Clinton spokesman Phil Singer retorted with a dig at Obama’s experience.

“Judging from his act, it doesn’t sound like Senator Obama has much experience doing stand-up either,” Singer said in a statement. “Nothing says change more than using jokes to distort his opponents’ records.”

He has a meanstreak that’s become more visible as the campaign has gone on.

I don’t know if I can take hearing his name for four or eight years. I’m already so sick of it and him.

I thought the “Mr. Nice Guy” facade wore off a long time ago, but I know people who still thinks he’s great. It’s amazing how he is the master of delusion.

You are right. I have no doubt whatsoever that his “Lipstick on a pig” comment was intended to call Palin a pig. He is an a&&hole of biggest kind.

I'll bet he carries a knife with him at all times.

How is it that two patriots like Bush and Cheney can be demonized. Yet Ayers and Wright are off limits?

Colon Powell, the man who was in charge and sold the American people on the Iraqi war that Obama now denounces as a Bush platform, endorses Obama.

So much for Obama’s “change”.

I was in the car the other day when I heard the following sound bite by Obama about McCain:

"By the end of the week, he'll be accusing me of being a secret communist because I shared my toys in kindergarten. I shared my peanut butter and jelly sandwich."

The tone was incredible. There's no need of accusing him of being a secret communist -- he's pretty much an open socialist.

And I am sickened by his saying that communism is about “Sharing”.

No, it’s about hijacking rights and property, but that’s too great a concept for most folks to understand.

I wonder if Obama took his kids trick or treating by Farrakhan’s house last night?

Anyways, the guy is a tool, a wannabe Mussolini Junior. I’m glad to know that taxpayers somewhere are doing the charitable work for his family that he, Mr. “I am my brother’s keeper”, is unwilling to do.

What an absolute joke. And what a joke his supporters are, running around saying that the reason to vote for him is that he’ll bring “change.” Man, that’s a convincing argument. If you’re stupid enough to buy that as a convincing political argument, you probably should just off yourself right now.

It’s all part of the plan to make us the United Nation of America, where the tyranny of the majority (or fraud) reigns.

In some ways, they’re already making headway; how many times have you heard people talking about “our democracy” rather than “our republic?”

The McCain campaign should respond to stuff like this by publicly asking Obama who William Ayers is voting for.
