BAMA CAMPAIGN ISSUES TALKING POINTS TO MEDIA AHEAD OF DEBATE Wed Oct 15 2008 11:15:03 ET
The Obama campaign issued a set of debate 'talking points' to media on Wednesday morning, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.
Press Secretary Sean Smith issued the directive in an email from Pennsylvania, 12 hours before the debate.
The directive oddly mirrors much of the main press analysis and theme of the current campaign:
* This is John McCain's last chance to turn this race around and somehow convince the American people that his erratic response to this economic crisis doesn't disqualify him from being President.
* Just this weekend the weekend, John McCain vowed to "whip Obama's you-know-what" at the debate, and he's indicated that he'll be bringing up Bill Ayers to try to distract voters.
* So we know that Senator McCain will come ready to attack Barack Obama and bring his dishonorable campaign tactics to the debate stage.
Obama continues to lead on the economic crisis with a rescue plan for Main Street.
* Over the course of the campaign, Barack Obama has laid out a set of policies that will grow our middle class and strengthen our economy.
* But he knows we face an immediate economic emergency that requires urgent action - on top of the plans he's already laid out - to help workers and families and communities struggling right now.
* That's why Barack Obama is introducing a comprehensive four-part Rescue Plan for the Middle Class - to immediately to stabilize our financial system, provide relief to families and communities, and help struggling homeowners.
* This is a plan that can and should be implemented immediately.
* Obama has shown steady leadership during this crisis and offered concrete solutions to move the country forward - and his Rescue Plan for the Middle Class builds on the plans to strengthen the economy and rebuild the middle class that he's laid out over the course of this campaign.
* Already in this campaign, he's unveiled plans to give 95 percent of workers and their families a tax cut, eliminate income taxes for seniors making under $50,000, bring down the cost of health care for families and businesses; and create millions of new jobs by investing in the renewable energy sources.
* John McCain has been erratic and unsteady since this crisis began - staggering from position to position and trying to change the subject away from the economy by launching false character attacks.
Developing...
Well said.
I wish he could get some coaching from someone like Mark Levin.
I like your optimism. We’ll see.
Do you think McCain's winning? What have you been smoking?
Oh, stop it. You know as well as I do that a big chunk of the news media will be using these talking points. And the debate hasn’t been held yet.
Keep the faith. God is “just” and Obama will lose in a landslide. Mark my words. Obama will be a footnote in history.
But then I have plenty of people telling me to get a grip on reality because the media has assured them that Obama is winning.
“So the key word to listen for tonight from the Drive Bys is “erratic.””
Possible drinking game here.
Sounds to me that Obama has already seen the questions. Nawwwwwwww....they would never to that
I would bet that Obama has had the questions in advance for every debate and interview except the Saddleback church interview.
I do have the faith that Americans will not allow that Marxist scum bag into the White House. I firmly believe that. And the gross over sampling of the polls for Democrats actually gives me comfort. They won't know what hit them when McCain/Palin win the White House!
““Erratic” is coded hate speech for anyone over the age of 60. It means “senile”.”
Hey, I’m over 60! Sounds like age discrimination. Of course, if you’re a Democrat, you’re an “elder statesman”. See Bobby Byrd and Ted Kennedy.
John McCain has the power to bring the Messiah’s campaign to a screaching halt.
Senator Obama promised transparency. He has stonewalled on, 1) producing his birth certificate, 2) producing his medical records, and 3) producing his university records. All those documents have one thing in common as they state where a person was born!
The problem with witholding documents is that not everyone who is tasked with maintaining vault records is a passionate partisan supporter of the person wishing to hide their records.
So, information has leaked out concerning the vault copy of his Hawaiian birth certificate - it doesn’t exist. And the contents of Senator Obama’s entry submission to Harvard states that he was born in Kenya. Oddly enough everyone in Kenya, including the national press, know he was born in Kenya and is a citizen.
So John McCain should fire-up his jets and get busy. It is not up to the Republicans to prove Senator Obama isn’t a citizen; it is up to Obama to provide the proof of his eligibility!
And, surprisingly, Greta. She's very pro-Palin.
Got it! :-D
McCain should just come right out of the box and say:
Obama is a marxist, terrorist sympathizer, black separatist, who if elected will take your money, your guns and your personal freedoms, He will institute government policies to undermine the US Constitution, destroy American sovereignty, and control you. You will become a slave to the state. He will appoint judges that will fulfill his embrace of baby killing and will open the doors to Sharia law. And we still don’t know for sure if he’s even an American Citizen.
******************
Great plan! i hope he can execute it.
“The presumptuous arrogance of the Obama campaign is truly stunning.”
Yes. And what is equally stunning is how McNut and his bunch of pinheads rollover and just smile and nod. (My comment and anger does not include Governor Palin.)
Obama’s 2 step plan to grow the middle class:
1) Tax the rich down to the middle calss status;
2) Take the tax money and redistribute it to the poor so their income is equal to the middle class
Welcome to SOCIALISM SECURITY!!!
My sister says that the change in Greta is due to the fact that she has become good friends with Laura Ingrahm.
