I just wanted to congratulate the junior Senator from Illinois for what might just be the most idiotic (planned) gaffe of this election.
Yet another day, yet another "rally" spent attacking the GOP Vice-Presidential candidate. What a way to prove your fitness to serve as Commander-in-Chief by delivering personal attacks instead of telling the nation what it is you truly believe.
I salute you, Barry, on perhaps the most inept general election presidential campaign since McGovern-Eaglet...er, that other guy.
Here is the difference in this race.
Obama is still preaching to the choir, while McCain/Palin are trying to reach out to undecideds.
If Obama was smart, he would have only devoted 15 seconds to Sarah Palin, and focus all of his energy on McCain. The Obama that got to this point would have said, “I applaud Senator McCain for picking a woman, it shows how much progress we’ve made in this country, although we may disagree on many issues.”
But this part of the campaign is unchartered waters for Obama, he’s never had to deal with serious GOP opposition in any of his Senate races. And he clearly doesn’t quite know what to do. He is not in his element, and it shows.
No wonder he can't raise funds, they're all on welfare!!!
Yes, he seems like the dorky kid that comes up to a big group of the cool kids in high school and cracks an incredibly lame joke.
Obama is gut shot now, and we will be watching his death throws over the next 60 days.
Gut shot is right. It is sad and hard to watch, but has a certain finality to it.
CHECKMATE.
The fact that he got a standing ovation for the remark tells you exactly what he meant. Otherwise it would have gone over as an old joke.
