If she were a democrat, they would be referring to her as an accomplished outdoors woman.
I too wondered why no one was making a bigger issue of that line. I guess there are so many coming from Obama’s mouth, it’s hard to keep up.
Pretty-boys like Barack Hussein Obama mock hunters at his abject peril. We take a dim view of being mocked.
Run campaign ads showing Obama saying this in PA, MN, WI, MI, NH and ME and they become red states - almost guaranteed.
Absolutely, where to start is the question?
Freakin' Teddy Roosevelt cool (except he was a father, governor and moose shooter)
Now add in Cindy McCain...Race Car driver, pilot...
Recall if you will joncary costumed as a duck hunter.
Then look at the photo of Sarah in an ATV, rubber booted in a yellow slicker, with a daughter holding on as they cross a creek.
The contrast between a Hollywood staged event and reality is stark.
No photo of Obama not in a political mode comes across as real.
1) The middle finger when talking about Clinton.
2) The Moose shooter then followed by an obviously insincere "sincerely".
3)The lipstick on a pig + old fish in newspaper which when juxtaposed with the lipstick joke of the week before clearly means Palin and McCain.
I, and most even tempered people, gave him the benefit of the doubt for a long time but this is clearly a pattern. It is a dig that is open to interpretation. His followers get it.
Obama said recently that he want to make government “cool” again.
Cindy McCain is a pilot? That would make it the first ticket in which all parts including spouses are pilots.
DOES anyone have the video of this? I remember MSNBC was playing it on Morning Joe the following day, this needs to get uploaded to Youtube.
I totally agree about a campaign commercial. They need to make one this week.
What’s damaging is his obsession with John McCain’s running mate; Moose shooter? Why even mention this? He is Dukakis-in-a-tank whenever he tries to connect with the gun-toting “Nitally Lions” and Wolverine fans.
Good story...Cindy took lessons and didn’t tell John. When she got her license, she took him for a ride.
Add NJ to the mix for that ad! Lots of hunters there. My brother-in-law is a union carpenter that said “i was going to vote for Obama but i just can’t do it because he wants to take away my guns - don’t get between me and my guns!” He’s in NJ and an NRA member. We talked about Palin yesterday and he says “she’s my dream girl!” And he is going to vote McCain/Palin now.
Moose shooter is to keeping finger off trigger piece, until safely align sights on animal game, then to press trigger piece for moose shoot.
bump for later

Shows how uncomfortable Obama is with hunting as he uses the word “shooter.” Is he implying she runs around shooting moose for the fun of it?
