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.

ignore his work as a constitutional lawyer

Along with his pal, the unrepentant terrorist, Bill Ayers.

his eight years in the legislature

Where he was guilty of "bill-jacking."

time spent in academia or at Harvard Law

Where Obama hung out at the Marxist-Socialist conferences at Cooper Union while at Columbia and at Harvard Law was appointed as the first affirmative action president of the Harvard Law Review.

The question is not whether people "appreciate" a "community organizer", but whether that service qualifies one to be POTUS.

The guy is in bed with the commie left. "Community Organizer" my arse!

When I hear “community organizer” I get this hilarious image of a guy in a tracksuit herding homeless people to a voter registration booth with a carton of Kools. Obama Campaign - Please send out Al Sharpton to tell me how wrong I am.

“Hey Obama camp. Stick a tampon in it. You’re bleeding all over the place.”

Now, that’s one of the best comments I’ve read! Wish it could be a bumpersticker!

These Obama handlers are the biggest liars and whiners in history. Obama has done zip in elected office, unless one counts his Marxist and hate America friends as accomplishments.

Oh, I know what he actually accomplished- he took all the money he could.

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

What our side needs to do with this “community organizer” theme is to point out that he workd for ACORN, which has members indicted, in jail, or on trial in 12 states for fruad of various kinds.

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

It’s funny how no one can answer that question, isn’t it?

The Barry Hussein worshiping msm never bothered to go to his community and see what results he accomplished there...other than hooking up with Rev. Jeremiah Wright and ACCORN, the vote fraud operators.
He wasn’t even responsible for taking the asbestos out of that one apartment building they tout as his big accomplishment. The women in the ‘hood got that job done.

The O stands for zero.

He accused Palin of trying to "ignore his work as a constitutional lawyer,

What work? Can't recall Obama mentioning it either. Did he represent someone before the USSC on some constitutional issue? Did he write a groundbreaking brief on a point of constitutional law?

Please Mr. Axelrod, enlighten us.

Axelrod said the little-known Palin should answer reporters' questions. "I don't think the American people are going to tolerate candidates who are unwilling to answer basic questions about their record, about issues, about the country."

BINGO!!!

And this is why Obama is going to lose. They are using attacks against the Republican Vice Presidential nominee that they have no defense for their Presidential nominee.

No college transcripts, no LSAT scores, no writings from the Harvard Law Review, no college friends, no law firm colleagues, no testimonials from his community work in Chicago.

FTA: “He accused Palin of trying to ‘ignore his (Obambi’s)work as a constitutional lawyer, as a professor at the University of Chicago....”

Obambi was never a professor. He was a lecturer. There is a huge difference.

Of course it didn’t say ONE true thing about Obama...it said about TWENTY true things about Mr. ZERO.

For instance, Obama’s Greek columns were made of polyurethane foam, not styrofoam...

Funny how they demean Palin’s community service in youth sports, PTA and city council as mere fluff, while Obama spreading walkin-around-money is so noble.
