Obama Campaign: "Palins Speech Did Not Say One True Thing About Obama "
New York Post ^ | 09/04/08

Posted on 09/04/2008 9:07:40 AM PDT by markedmannerf

PITTSBURGH – Barack Obama's camp is unloading on Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin after Palin described herself as a "pit bull" and then tore into Obama in a tough convention speech.

"There wasn't one thing that she said about Obama or what he's proposing that's true," fumed Obama's strategist David Axelrod, speaking to reporters aboard Obama's campaign plane.

Axelrod defended Obama against one of Palin's most biting lines, when she ridiculed a favorite part of Obama's resume, saying: "I guess a small town mayor is sort of like a community organizer -- except that you have actual responsibilities."

"They can demean service in the community but I think most people appreciate it," Axelrod shot back.

Of course, Axelrod didn’t come up with disproofs of anything Palin said, an actual law authored by Obama, for instance.

He accused Palin of trying to "ignore his work as a constitutional lawyer, as a professor at the University of Chicago, his eight years in the legislature, his years in the United States Senate." Obama himself rarely mentions his time spent in academia or at Harvard Law.

And he justifies his statement about her being a mayor of a town of 9,000 ignoring her governorship of Alaska how???????

“””” “They can demean service in the community but I think most people appreciate it,” Axelrod shot back. “””””

Community organizers = Saul Alinsky, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, ACORN, etc

Anywho, Obama is the one denigrating her by refusing to call her governor and referring to her as only mayor.

It was that line that made me laugh out loud enough to wake my kids in the next room.

OK, let’s play along. What has Obama done? What are some real examples of his leadership and work?

"Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Well whateeevvvver!" Axelrod shot back.

He was funded by ACORN, didn’t they just get busted for voter registration violations in Cleveland. This is about the 20th bust these corrupt ORGANIZERS have been involved in. Yes, we can demean them.

Being a “community organizer” is IN NO WAY the same thing as actually SERVING a community; and I think MOST people know that.

No, they don't appreciate it. They don't even know what a community organizer is. I still don't know what B. Hussein DID as a community organizer. What the hell is it?

Yeah, I love it when "community organizers" lurk outside of the supermarket trying to get me to sign some dumb-ass petition. I truly appreciate that. And I really love it when they come to my door to offer their advice and "service." I deeply appreciate that.

I search the article in vain for a specific example of anything Palin said about Obama that wasn’t true.

You’d think Obama’s strategist David Axelrod could come up with at least one example to support the contention that she spoke untruthfully about Obama.

Exactly, that statement by Obama, ignoring the governorshop, left him wide open for a response. She took a shot, and blew him out of the water.
