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."

He’s been through nineteen months of primary campaigning, where his opponents hardly even disagreed with him, and were fearful of being called racists. They pulled their punches, and when Bill Clinton, “The Big Dog” himself, landed a punch or two, that’s exactly what happened.
He’s in for a surprise.
He’s been at this for 19 months, and she for 4 days and matches his audience? That should tell you something, Barry.
Touchy, aren’t we? Obama has gotten NO media scrutiny. It might be nice for some to start right about now.
(I still really dislike the GOP leadership and its cowardice. I'm just saying that they've got this situation playing perfectly.)
The black panthers were community organizers; the Bloods and Cripps are community organizers … different, I think, from the Mayor of a city in so many ways. ;-)
no longer the cool dude!
i luv it!
Great minds #20.
“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?”
He keeps hanging on to that “$5 million dollar” comment McCain made pretending it wasn’t said as a joke.
Boy - once he grabs onto something he won’t let go - even when it falls flat.
Seriously, every Communist friend of Obama's agrees.
>>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.”
Sorry Barry, I read your first book, and know all about your community organizing. It’s all about trying to pry more money from government and redistribute it among your friends and neighbors. And you make it exceedingly clear that you don’t have the vaguest concept of the idea of wealth creation. In short, you’re a dangerous fool with a glib tongue.
That will be Obama’s undoing. He is a very sensitive guy. He can not laugh at himself. He will crack under the pressure.
And thanks to your army of volunteers in the drive by media, they have done more investigations of the Palin family and told us more about Sarah and her family in those 4 days than they have done about you in 19 months.
Who paid Obama’s salary when he was a community organizer?
ACORN?
CPUSA?
She has been through more in four days than you, sir, have been through in your entire term as Senator. The difference, Mr. Obama, between you and Governor Sarah Palin, is that the media actually investigated her qualifications to lead.
