TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) Barack Obama is offering his first direct criticism of Sarah Palin (PAY'-lin) and it's on the subject of earmarks.

Do you know what you call a Presidential candidate who is responding to or attacking the VP candidate of the opposing party? LOSER

I'm not sure he wanted to open that door. LOL! Why Sarah? You'd too chicken to take on the guy so you have to beat up the girl? This is gonna be fun!

Who's Obama?

Go Governor Palin!!! You've got them on the run!!! The DemocRATS are running against YOU now!!!! LOL!!! I love the smell of fear in the morning!!

Precisely. Meanwhile McCain can look Presidential while his VP tears Obama to pieces.

blackest pot calling the kettle black. (Note: not a reference to Obama’s race.)

I think this makes it official—Obama is running against Palin—not McCain.

First he came out and offered a rebuttal to her comments on “community organizer,” now this.

He’s scared. :)

LOL! Now that's funny.

Hot Air has a post up on this: Guy who requested $740 million in earmarks on Palin: You can’t really be for change if you’re pro-earmark.

Barry is a bozo.

[stockpirate]

You beat me to it. He is attacking the VP not McCain, Obama’s wheels are falling off.

He probably had to be corrected: although Terre Haute is French, we don't pronounce it that way in America.

Hmmm..."community organizer", n., job in which an agitator convinces people they need something, then extorts it from the government." (paraphrased from Saul Alinskey)

Sounds a lot like earmarking from another angle. But Obama will bring this odious practice to an end. /s

She explained this the other night.

She used the money for projects that really needed to get done in Alaska.

Makes sense to me.

Obama would be wise to avoid a discussion on earmarks. Someone may bring to attention the earmark he sent to his wife’s employer that appears to have gone directly to fattening her salary.

Per Fox news, Obama speaking to 700 people in Indiana. That in itself is funny.

If you taken earmarks, don't lecture about it to others if they've done it. It makes you look like a hypocrite. Check your own record first, Barry before you risk shattering that glass jaw of yours!
