I think there are reasons why this is playing out the way it is that we aren’t permitted to know (it’s not announced) at this point (oh oh....do I hear the arrival of Captain Obvious to put me in my place??).
For example, CNN actually admitted, the day before the McCain/Obama debates, that Obama lied about Ayers. All were shocked that CNN would ever report anything not worshipful of The One. But note that this was one day before the debate. I think, well, I wonder if the Obama camp was afraid to take that kind of comment squarely on the jaw during the debate and so leaked the info to CNN the day before to defuse it? Is this why McCain outlined his ‘strategy’ of his campaign calling Obama on this unholyl alliance in the weeks leading up to the debate? Beating the bushes to flush the game out, so to speak?
Or was CNN afraid that McCain would state, at the debate, the well known, easy to prove, facts that CNN had not - and so CNN rushes to publish the day before? BECAUSE the well read, albeit unethical, news organization published it the day before - McCain didn’t have to bring it up during the debate. If my theory is correct (still crouching in a vain attempt to elude Captain Obvious), then McCain ‘won’ that round - induced CNN to confess. The populace was better off hearing it from CNN than from McCain due to the absurd perception in some circles that CNN would be the more ‘reliable’.
So, is Obama swaggering now to imply that he could EASILY rebut those ‘allegations’ it’s just that he never had the chance during the debate? When in fact the evidence is against him? Or perhaps he wants the chance to haughtily reject McCain’s assertions on TV in such an ‘impressive’ and grandstanding manner that it will hopefully preclude any ‘petty’ need for the ‘little people’ to investigate that topic having heard the Messiah say it isn’t so? It’s not like McCain is likely to hold up a fistful of evidence in his hand and say “I have the proof right here.” In short (hey! why wasn’t I concise in the first place?!) I think McCain not saying what he knows or what Obama expects him to say at times serves a purpose and that Obama is not ‘coping’ with this tactic well. Imagine how nervous a guy like that ‘should’ be when he has to HIDE so much, worry at any debate it might come up? (ok....I am ducking down to the ground and making a run for it...perhaps 2 steps ahead of Captain Obvious!)
McCain did come close to bringing up Ayers in last nights debate by alluding about it....
Excellent points! I wanted McCain to hit hard at the debate but now realize that would not have been good. The debate was to answer questions from folks in the audience, rather in truth from Tow Brocow.:)
I think those of you saying let Sarah and others take it to Obama are right. McCain can keep on the same goal of talking about issues and comment about Obama’s inexperience and bad judgement when the subject comes up.
Obama has got plenty to answer to and after Corsi’s interview with Hannity & Colmes on Monday there will be lots more for Obama to come clean about. Hope Obama says “Why doesn’t Corsi say it to me face to face”, because Corsi would and he will have documents to back up what he says!
