Obama has shown over and over again that he doesn’t understand the First Rule of Holes. That, and his compulsion to deny and minimize negative (to him) circumstances are a strong weakness.
McCain has again gotten inside Obama’s OODA loop. It’ll be mid-late next week, certainly after the debate, before Obama can form a coherent response to Ayers.
If the revalations about links to Ayers, or if ACORN explodes like it appears to building up to, Obama won’t be able to do anything - he will be beaten no matter what he tries.
When McCain said Obama didn’t understand teh difference between strategy and tactics, he wasn’t making a debate-style point. He has the measure of Obama down pat.
PING
Do you know that yesterday when Obama was in Indianapolis and talking about Evan Bayh and his dad Birch, Obama said, “the acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree”? Sounded like a shout out to me. Or, maybe that’s just a phrase they use in Kansas or sumpin. ;)
