Obama Says McCain Abandons High Road

Barack Obama says John McCain has abandoned the integrity of his 2000 presidential run to engage in "slash-and-burn, say-anything, do-anything politics" in a last-ditch effort to get elected.

Speaking in Iowa, Obama sought Friday to hold his Republican rival's negative ads against him, although the Democratic presidential candidate is running negative ads too.

Obama quoted McCain as saying two elections ago that he would not take the low road to the highest office in the land.

Said Obama: "The high road didn't lead him to the White House then, so this time, he decided to take a different route."

Whereas excommunicating reporters who work for newspapers with editorial pages didn't endorse you is definitely "the high road".

And when every other word out of Obama’s mouth is George Bush?
Telling us that McCain cannot type?
Telling us that McCain is erratic and about to croak any day?

I want to see a Bush Derangement Video starring Obama saying nothing but George Bush. It would be hilarious.

He’s afraid McCain/Palin are lifting the edges of the carpet he has his garbage swept under. After Tuesday, he doesn’t have to worry about it. Either he’s Prez, and he’s untouchable, or he’s back to Senator, as dead as Gore, Kerry, and maybe even Hillary.

Whatever. McCain has been very restrained, he COULD have and SHOULD have brought up Rev. Wright, but didn’t.

This is the case of Obama deflecting and diminishing any REAL concerns of his associations and marixist policy as just “John McCain being mean”.

Unfortunately, the media will run with whatever narrative Obama sets forth.

Yeah, how dare bad old McCain tell the truth about you, eh Barry?

I heard Obama on TV today in Iowa say something like, “for the last DECADE........Americans have had to live with broken promises, etc etc.” (he was referring to the White House). DECADE??!! Well, Bush has been in office for 8 years! Was this intentional? Could he have meant a little “dig” towards the Clintons? Maybe if media would pick up on his statement, it would enrage the Clinton’s enough to get the LA Times to release that little tape they are hiding?

Obambi is a candy-ass man-child who would tremble at his own shadow.

Non-issue. McCain already did that with Dowd.

It's impossible to take the "low road" agaisnt Barak Hussein Soetoro Whatever 0bama, the abortionist Marxist gun-grabbing racist Kenyan.

The truth about him is so appalling that no 30-second attack ad can really capture it.

Obama, you stink with the worst anti American stench ever smelled.

YOU OBAMA, abandoned the high road years ago when you were getting high engaging in gay cocaine sex and hanging around with the worst enemies a US citizen has ever known. If it wasn’t for your partners in crime, the MSM, you would have been kicked out of the US and branded as a major terrorist.

Whew, I am done now.

What a whiner obama bin lyin is. Someone get that man a little cheese to go along with his wine.

Gov Palin has been hit with everything they could think of to hit her with and she took it.

Obama bin lyin is a cry baby if he can’t take even a 1,000th of what Gov Palin got hit with.
