Obama's glass jaw

No, Obama didn't engage in the mass sneering at Palin - but he did fall into the trap of disrespecting her. When McCain chose her, the Obama campaign's first response was to ridicule the size of her town. Then the candidate himself began referring to her as a "former mayor" when she is in fact a sitting governor.
When she retaliated (justifiably) by mocking his stint as a organizer, the Obama camp was clearly rattled. Obama himself actually began arguing about the importance of community organizing. His supporters amplified this cry - claiming Palin's attack was a racist slur and passing around e-mails titled "Jesus was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a governor."

you can not win elections being on the defensive

Unfortunately, the little moments create lasting impressions.

"reporting for duty"
"I voted for it before I voted against it"
"It's the economy stupid"
Bush 41 being surprised about the new cash registers in grocery stores was deemed "out of touch"
Michael Dukakis in the tank looked silly, not presidential
the Willie Horton ad
"He's not going to tell you he's going to raise your taxes, I will"
"well, there you go again"
The girl and the mushroom cloud
Nixon sweating and pale on TV, while JFK looked tanned and healthy

Right, wrong or indifferent, this shit has an impact and can swing a close election

WRONG....the tradition continues

He's staggered and he's flailing. He's knocked off message. He's reduced to attacking and mocking the VP Nominee of his opponent and he looks petty.

He uses and idiotic statement about pigs and lipstick which is a longtime joke, but he has to be able to see how that will play out under the existing circumstances, he didn't. Does anyone think he'll use that line again?

He mocks Palin about earmarks, referring to them as pork. Is he kidding? He's a pork whore, and although he may be right about Palin, he losses this issue big time to McCain. Plus he sounds a tad bit hypocritical.

He's complaining about his opponent stealing his line about "change". Again, that's pathetic. Never mind the fact that "change" line will always be associated with Bill Clinton for anyone over 35, who said the word "change" in every other sentence.

Just as he looked weak at the end of the Democratic primary season, he's looking weak again.

As predicted by some, he has a glass jaw and it's been exposed. He needs new management as he's been reduced to preaching to the choir, and that's not how you win swing votes.

Even more wrong. Wrong Way Willie continues his tradition of being "spot on", and the never ending supply of wrongness continues.

Yeah..thank god willie was wrong. Things are in such good shape for our lives. I mean, McCain would have probably spun us into more debt and laid the groundwork for another failed socialistic economy.

You don't have to thank G-d for that. Willie is ALWAYS wrong down here. McCain would have certainly had us in more wars, for longer periods in the ones we were in, and would have wasted a whole lot more money on them, so yes, debt would be much higher under him. And the DJIA would probably be closer to 6000 instead of 16000, as he would have continued Bush's failed economic policies, and continued the Bush Collapse. My Life's fine, and I KNOW yours is great.

What we should try to do is bump threads where Willie was Right about something, lol. That would make life much easier, lol.

Are you capable.

 

[The Guesser]

Are you capable.

I'm capable of logic and clear, sensible thinking. I'm not capable of taking made up stuff, half truths, things with a clear agenda with no basis in fact, etc and turning them into incontrovertible facts. That takes a special breed of loon.
