Barack Bemoans Republican "Slash and Burn" Politics
Fox News | 9/4/08

Posted on 09/04/2008 12:37:41 PM PDT by pabianice

Now on... Obama has no word about the Dems' vomitous personal attacks against Palin, of course... reporter asks, "How is being a community organizer relevant to being President?" Obama... "They never mention my time in the state legislature (LOL!) or my time in the Senate (what time? He's never been there)"... reporter: "Why is your campaign going after Palin personally?" ... Obama: "She's only been in this for four days... we've been in this for 18 months... I don't think her ideas are any different than the failed McCain ideas... I'm the best person to bring the change we want on energy and health care and the economy..." Reporter: "With so many reporters attacking Palin, what should you do now?" Obama: "They have no agenda to run on... no idea how to make the lives of Americans better... thjey spent their time extolling McCain's biography..." Obama: "I've been called worse things on the basketball court... we need to provide good jobs at good wages (PAGING MICHAEL DUKAKIS...)... (more empty rhetoric)... clearly angry at reporters for asking real questions... ends interview.

From what I have read this guy ran virtually unopposed for both his state senate seat and his current federal senate seat. If true then he has never had to face a viable opponent in a real campaign.

This is rich! He cites his campaign for the presidency as evidence of the experience necessary to actually BE president. But he shows little stomach for a stand up political fight most likely because he has never faced one before and now that the real test is upon him he begins to crumble.

I realize that anything can happen and that for the moment he has a slight lead in the polls butI have to chide myself for ever thinking this guy was a real threat as a candidate. If it weren’t for the fact that the entire leftist propaganda media machine is propping him up he would be 15 points behind at this point (heck, he wouldn’t have gotten the nomination at all - Hillary! would have mopped the floor with him).

Why am I reminded of this line from Rocky IV?

“Duke: He’s worried! You cut him! You hurt him! You see? You see? He’s not a machine, he’s a man!”

Sarah’s theme song should be the Rocky theme - gritty underdog comes out of nowhere to defeat the flashy and arrogant champion...

"Some cheese to go with your whine!

If we had white whine would that be racist?

And I like Cheese, and my candidate for VP once bit a mooseburger.

LOL...Did you see Keith Olbermann and Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC last night? It was beautiful.

Andrea, after interviewing Rudy turned and threw it back to Olbermann with a face that was longer than deflated football.

And Olbermann, mainly speechless, spent most of his night, between interviews, mentioning a word that one of the Palin supporters mispronounced. PRICELESS. AND wonderfully PATHETIC.

I must amend my previous post. He did face Hillary! in the primaries. But Hillary! really couldn’t go at him as she and Billy would have liked because every time they did the leftist media went after THEM. And if they tried to get around this the black voter base went nuts and without that they could not win. They were hamstrung because of identity politics, the weird rat primary rules and a hostile media whose support had always been vital to them.

Obama showed signs of real weakness in the primaries but he never had to take the full brunt of an attack because the Clitons didn’t dare jeopardize their position in the party to the point where they would be completely marginalized. And any real “Clintonian” onslaught would have destroyed their standing with both blacks and the media for good.

This year is shaping up to the oddest and most entertaining that I can recall.

Listen, Hussain...can I call you Hussain? We played patty-cake with you guys for eight years of the Bush administration, and it got us bupkis. We looked the other way while childish White House Democratic staffers trashed the place, we cuddled up with you on Drugging seniors and in the porkey Kennedy school bill and all we got was screwed, so just shut your pie hole. Hopefully my people have found their nards and are going to be FINALLY saying what they believe this time round.

What goes around, comes around.
The libs are now the ones on the defensive. We
have to keep this up. Keep hitting Obama on
his lack of experience as an executive.
Look I will give him community organizer. They play
important roles in some communities. I know ...
I was a community organizer..gasp...and organized
and ran a youth program in my community. It
is very successful. Does that make me
qualified for president? Hell no. Not even for
councilwoman or mayor. But then I would not
be so egotistical to assume it did.
And thats the bottom line.

I don't think his appearance on the O’Reilly show went very well for him. He was upset when he came out to meet the press and it clearly showed. Think I'll watch.
