Obama Suddenly Riled
SF Gate ^

Posted on 09/04/2008 5:36:21 PM PDT by Chet 99

Sen. Barack Obama ditched his normal languid cool today, punching back at Gov. Sarah Palin as he spoke with reporters in York, Pa, hotly defending his work as a community organizer. He said he assumes Palin "wants to be treated same way guys want to be treated, which means their records are under scrutinty. I've been through this for 19 months. She's been through it, what four days?"

Obama's hackles were clearly raised by Palin's dismissal of his community organizing --a response to his earlier dismissal of her record as a small-town mayor. "Why would that kind of work be ridiculed?" Obama said. "Who are they fighting for?" The idea that community organizing is not relevant to the presidency, he said, just shows why Republicans "are out of touch and don't get it."

Fox showed a shot of this and there were only about 1/2 the reporters as normal! I have a feeling the new story is all about Sara and not BO and someone doesn’t like it so much!

Once again, Barry thinks RUNNING FOR POTUS, is the same as actually having executive experience.

In that 19 months, Obama has faced nothing like what Palin faced basically from the day after the announcement. And “community organizing” is not church charity; it is socialist agit-prop.

Obama is a one-note samba. Anything that the Republicans can do to knock him off his game will reveal him to be a plodding clod at anything other than the big teleprompter-aided stump speech.

Gads, what a fairy.

Obama, if you went through the kind of unfair, out-of-bounds scrutiny the Palin family has been subjected to for a DAY, much less four, you'd be in tears.

Obama can detail for us what exactly he accomplished when he was a community organizer.

He’s so full of himself...”I’ve been at this 19 months!” He’s been running for President longer than he’s been a Senator...that’s mind-boggling.

I guess I’m out of touch...

I watched his speech. Working without a teleprompter, he took forever to finish a sentence. The poor workers were falling asleep. It was a snooze fest.

Somebody must have finally explained to him what her comments meant. The guy’s not bright enough to figure it out himself. Really, her speech took place at least 16 hours earlier. Slow responder or what?

First, Obama really thinks the campaign is everything and that his time campaigning (as opposed to being a Senator) counts for something. That is weird.

Second, Obama makes the huge mistake of fighting with the GOP #2. That is stupid.
