Obama Attacks Palin
August 29th, 2008 Posted in Barack Obama, John McCain, Sarah Palin, VP, Veepstakes, Vice President
Ya know, McCain put out this video last night specifically to highlight the historic nature of Obama’s nomination:
So, what does Obama do upon McCain’s decision to choose Sarah Palin as his VP Nominee…
“the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency.”
Obama is such a weasel. He can’t even give a civil response. I’m gonna be fighting HARD to ensure he doesn’t get elected President.

The dems never fail to surprise with their lack of self awareness…playing the experience card?! Hillarious!

I can’t stand Obama but he is actually right on this one.

Un-Class act Obama-Biden. We all have to remember that there is NO REPUBLICAN candidate that the Democrats would vote for en-mass.
There is NO FEMALE Republican candidate that the Democrat Party would support.
WHO THE FU-K CARES ABOUT WHAT OBAMA, BIDEN, DEMOCRAT PARTY THINKS ABOUT PALIN???
The Democrats protest too much…….????

Obama criticizing Palin on lack of experience? Bwa ha ha!
While she doesn’t have national experience, it’s foolish to quickly dismiss REAL grassroots labor with PTA, City Council, Mayoral responsibilites, and being Governor. One really gets to know a constituency by working shoulder to shoulder with them on a daily basis.
AND, she’s given birth 5 times! She has the benefit of the FEMALE experience and perspective that Barking Barack will NEVER have. She has the great benefit of a female perspective and wisdom.

Well I can’t say I blame Obama. What was McCain thinking? Pandering to the Hillary supporters he will never get while dissing his party in the process. He has shown he does not care what his party thinks and now will be hammered for her lack of experience. Mitt would have not only excited the base, but he would have provided the only winning ticket. Oh well McCain doesn’t get my vote, I’ll be writing Mitt in and waiting for 2012.

Hmmm, 2thepoint may be onto something. This completely nullifies the Democratic line that McCain is out of touch with the common man. Palin has been working with and for the common man (until 2 years ago, anyway), and is much more in touch with the “reality on the ground”.
But that is only the thin silver lining surrounding the dark cloud of inexperience…

How many VP choices could say their parents were BOTH teachers. There husband is a card carrying union member. Who can say they have shot, cleaned and eaten a moose, drove a truck, worked as a commercial fisherwoman, gestated and gave birth 5 times, are a lifetime NRA member, can shoot, fought the Party big shots, stood up against the status quo, said no to Washington Pork, played point, played hockey, been voted Miss Congeniality, sold the Gov’s private jet, cancelled her security detail AND LOOKS HOT IN CAMMY PANTS AND A T-SHIRT!!!!!!!!!!!1

I wonder if Palin is going to talk about coupon clipping to stretch the family budget? That’s a kitchen table, soccer mom issue that will resonate with many voters and is a concept foreign to all the other candidates and their wives.

That was a classy ad that McCain put out yesterday, BTW…

Dang. I hate it when Obama is RIGHT. and he nailed it on the head.
This is a pander pick.
Let’s work on the house and Senate. We need to give Obama one that won’t let him get away with squat.

My initial response was lukewarm. I know of her because of her stance on abortion — she is very much against it. But I do not know much about her beyond that. Wikipedia article has a good summary about who she is. From reading this article, she seems impressive enough. She will do very well with the social conservatives, and she is as strong a fiscal conservative, if not stronger, than McCain. Sure, her defense positions as well as the experience with foreign affairs are sorely lacking. But then, most of the candidates we have so far were too. McCain will do very well. Yes, there is a big question of whether she is ready to be a president. I cannot say this, but as a vice president, she will definitely benefit us a lot, especially with the domestic policies (no, it’s not because she is a woman. Just go and read the Wikipedia!).

** McCain will cover these aspects very well.

Obama is right about Gov Palin’s lack of experience–after all–she has NEVER been a community organizer !!WTF

Liberal Media and faithless ‘conservatives’ make me very upset. Obama is a showman that can’t even halfway control the people working for him, Obama continues to take mis-steps all the time, he offers nothing new. Obama will push this country further to the edge of sanity.
Palin seems to be an honest hardworking canidate, she actually has taken stands against low-lifes even in her own party, while Obama has written a couple of books about how important he is and voting ‘present’ 130 times.
McCain/Palin ticket will win the White House and Obama will cry about it and cause this country grief.

Wow - I am stunned by the “buzz”.
You all know how devoted we have been to Romney.
I had a email from Anne’s brother this morning - in it he said that he had just spoken with her - that they were feeling some relief and were very upbeat and dedicated to getting this ticket elected.
Now, if they can bounce back and put the campaign above their hopes, then we must stop and think and consider doing the same. For the sake of the country - they do not want an Obama elected. What a most unselfish motivation at this time. That must be the most unselfish objective for all of us. We have been his supporters because we respect him as a person and as a leader. If we are truly his supporters then we will continue to follow him and trust his judgement.
I have asked Rod if he can give us a resource for letting Mitt and Anne know how we feel, just as we did following the primaries. I told him it was important that we do that. I will let you know if I receive a reply to that request.
In the meantime, this decision needs further analysis before we make hasty decisions for which we will all be sorry. That is difficult for me to say as I have been one of the most outspoken ones when it came to voting for McCain if Mitt was not the VP.
The objective is to WIN. Nothing can be accomplished if we do not have the White House. The struggle to win is predicated on making a statement that trumps the “Hollywood”
mentality of the Democratic Party. We essentially MUST get down and dirty to overcome their impact because they have so many poorly informed voters and they appeal to this level of intelligence through class envy. Mitt and McCain are both affluent contenders and fit right into that visual of the Republicans as rich and unaffected by the misfortunes of the poor. My goodness, look at what they focus on to sway public opinion from the fact that Obama has NO experience and that he will literally destroy this country;s economy - McCain cannot remember how many houses he has and Mitt Romney has just as many. Why on NBC during the Palin announcement, they had a trailer that said “How many houses does this add to the McCain campaign?” - constantly appealing to the ignorant and uninformed by playing the class envy card - a major news network in the tank for the Democrats. We MUST have a totally unexpected angle to confuse the masses and many of those masses were Hilary supporters and women who want a woman on the ticket. It makes perfect “political” sense just not perfect “common” sense to those of us who are more informed and realize what we need as a country. There will never be any reasoning with those who do not listen to reason but simply react to emotion,We must realize that through our social welfare system the wrong people have been having babies - a true and simple fact. Those people are now voters for the Democrats because they continue to get free support through life from them as they continue to increase the entitlement programs. The Sarah Palin choice was an attempt to appeal to those who react primarily with emotion. Although right now we may feel they take us for granted, they are counting on those of us who make decisions by being informed to realize what they must do to win and continue to support the effort.
Evilio - you have been a steadfast supporter of Mitt Romney. You and I have been on the same page on virtually everything. We worked very closely with Mitt’s brother in law here in Florida during the campaign. He is so devoted to this MITT - with a respect and admiration that is quite moving at times. His response to me now and after the primaries was to “trust Mitt’s judgement”. Mitt Romney is NOT A WHINER. He is a man of great dedication and personal fortitude as is his wife and their family. He has taken this in stride and refocused his efforts on electing McCain and other Republicans in November because his dedication is to the country and not to his personal needs or wants. I am sure there is disappointment, but you will not see or hear that from him at this time as he does not want anything to jeopardize a win in November. The ultimate unselfish act for this country.
We must AT LEAST put our vote where our mouth is and continue to support the candidate whom we know is the best for America - MITT ROMNEY. Right now - HE is asking us to support the Republican ticket. WE repeatedly accuse others of hippocricy in their beliefs and actions - let us not be recipients of that same criticism by abandoning our candidate in his greatest hour of need. Our support is desperately needed. What we can do in addition to giving that support is push for a VISIBLY PUBLIC position for Mitt in this administration. I have sent messages to the RNC and McCain Campaign to announce such a position ASAP if they want our continued support. If you can all do that - it will be a big help. It will keep Mitt in the public eye for the next four years and show America just how excellent he would be as President in 2012. Just as Mitt has done, we now must get over this and refocus our emotions and efforts to working alongside him to get this ticket elected. Let us not abandon him now - it is always darkest before the dawn.
