Squad of G.O.P. Aides Prepares Palin for Interviews
How many are in a squad? 10? 20? Dunno, but Obama has a "cast" of 300 advisers. I wonder who plays Obama?
What Sarah Palin tells us about Obama
It tells us that Obama can't handle pressure. And that's not a good thing for a President.
"Obama has looked amazingly uncomfortable under the pressure that Palin has put him under. He relies on his cool - it is a core part of his appeal. So he looks bad when he loses it. During the Hillary contest he rarely came under any pressure from the media. When he did he reacted badly.
So the problem caused by Palin isn't really about Palin - it's about Obama."
Obama Starting To Regret Choice Of Biden As Running Mate?
Well, Biden sure seems to regret it.
Biden: "Quite frankly, [she] might have been a better pick than me."
Biden: "Quite frankly, [she] might have been a better pick than me."
The Democrats’ Credibility Gap
is huge.
Obama is the prime example. He's changed his positions from taxes to drilling to Iraq to FISA everytime the polls changed.
"When asked to choose why they think Democrats are weak on security, the number one reason—picked by 33% of all respondents—is that Democrats" change positions depending on public opinion."
“Moreover, when we ask respondents to compare the two parties, likely voters choose Democrats over Republicans as the party "too focused on public opinion" by a 27-point margin. Even Democratic base voters agree: liberal Democrats point to their own party as the one "too focused on public opinion" by an 18-point margin, and moderate/ conservative Democrats say this by 25 points"
Obama is the prime example. He's changed his positions from taxes to drilling to Iraq to FISA everytime the polls changed.
Report: McCain a ‘Hero’ to Taxpayers
while Barack Obama and Joe Biden are “hostile” and “unfriendly,”
"Since taking office, Obama has requested $740 million in federal earmarks for Illinois, including $750,000 for a visitors center, $713,000 for soybean disease research, $401,000 for a juvenile delinquent prevention program and $250,000 for obesity prevention.
At the Democratic National Convention last month, Obama promised to take action against wasteful spending.
“I will also go through the federal budget line by line eliminating programs that no longer work,” he told 84,000 people at Invesco Field in Denver.
But this year, Obama voted against cutting $23 billion in federal programs rated ineffective by the Office of Management and Budget. His campaign said there were programs he didn’t want to cut."
The Times Discovers Obama's ties to Ayers
About time.
McCain supporters don't have to taint anything, Obama did that himself.
The records also show that Obama launched his political career from terrorist Ayers home.
Supporters of Mr. McCain have been trying to taint Mr. Obama by highlighting his ties to William Ayers, a member of the violent Weather Underground in the 1960s, by pointing out that they worked on the Challenge project together. Mr. Ayers was indicted on conspiracy charges that were later thrown out for prosecutorial misconduct. [Ayers remarked, guilty as hell but free as a bird and later bragged that they hadn't bombed enough]
Mr. Obama has acknowledged that he is a friend of Mr. Ayers but has sought to minimize their interactions.
McCain supporters don't have to taint anything, Obama did that himself.
Records show that Mr. Ayers, now a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, helped write the Challenge proposal. The records also show that he and Mr. Obama worked on the Challenge project together and that they attended some of the same meetings.
The records also show that Obama launched his political career from terrorist Ayers home.
Dems fret about Obama
They should be worried.
“The [Obama] campaign is beginning to look like other campaigns,” said a former top strategist for past Democratic presidential campaigns, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “Obama is struggling with working-class whites just like John Kerry, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Michael Dukakis did, and Walter Mondale. He’s struggling with voters in the border-state South. And he’s struggling with an enormous wind at his back, a hatred for George Bush and a mainstream media that is little short of a chorus for his campaign.”
Palin primary qualification is she hasn't had an abortion
So says South Carolina Democratic chairwoman Carol Fowler.
"South Carolina Democratic chairwoman Carol Fowler sharply attacked Sarah Palin today, saying John McCain had chosen a running mate "whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.”
Biden: Hillary a Better Pick Than Me
I said about a week ago that Biden may drop out.
So why accept the nomination then Joe?
"Make no mistake about this," Biden responded. "Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Let’s get that straight. She’s a truly close personal friend, she is qualified to be president of the United States of America, she’s easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America, and quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me. But she’s first rate, I mean that sincerely, she’s first rate, so let’s get that straight."
So why accept the nomination then Joe?

Russell Brand pulled Sarah Palin electric chair jokes
The left are insane.
Again, these people are insane.
He said: "I had John McCain gags pulled. And they asked me to tone down the gags about Sarah Palin. I wanted to say she was forcing her teenage daughter to have a baby because she is so anti-abortion.
"But also, as a Republican she is pro-execution so she is going to give her the electric chair for being a little slut.
Again, these people are insane.
Obama too tired to be President?
That's how it sounds.
And as Lisa notes:
"...you know Sarah Palin is an interesting story.” The crowd booed. “No, she’s new!” Obama said. “She hasn’t been on the scene, you know, she’s got five kids and my hat goes off to anybody who’s looking after five. I’ve got two and they tire Michelle and me out!"
And as Lisa notes:
"So now she isn't even the mayor of Wasilla — she is just the mom of those five tiring kids. That is so condescending and, yes, sexist. John McCain had seven kids, and he doesn't seem tired. Did anyone question his abilities to govern? Yes, having two is clearly a sign of better taste and breeding... five is just so low class.... But tiring? Does someone who is exhausted by two well-behaved young girls have the energy to be president? Perhaps Todd and Sarah are made of sterner stuff. Perhaps Todd helps with the kids, and Barack does not.
Perhaps Democratic women should not allow their candidate to get away with this insulting nonsense."
Biden Gets Late-Night Shock Treatment
Great stuff.
Jay Leno: "You know...those glasses" Palin "wears? Those are...a hot item right now. ... Everybody's buying them. They're huge, selling much better than the Joe Biden hair plugs."
Jay Leno: "Out on the campaign trail this week, once again John McCain spoke about the nightmare of being stuck in a...tiny 8 x 10 room thinking he might go crazy. Not in Vietnam — when he got stuck in the Capitol elevator with Joe Biden," and Biden "wouldn't shut up."
David Letterman: "How about that Barack Obama?" They are "saying for the first time he's starting to slip in the polls," but "don't worry. He's got a plan. He's going to go back to campaigning in Europe."

Barack Obama lowers expectations
as John McCain's popularity surges.
"In a briefing to journalists this week, David Plouffe, the Democratic nominee's campaign manager, made clear that his initial prediction of 18 "swing" states being within Mr Obama's reach was wildly optimistic."
Young Obama Wanted to Join Army, Hunt Moose
Hilarious.
Sen. Barack Obama told ABC’s George Stephanopolous on Sunday that he considered joining the military when he left high school in 1979, but declined when he learned that the Vietnam War had ended some four years earlier, and that the first Persian Gulf War wouldn’t start for another 11 years.
Sen. Obama’s opponent, Sen. John McCain was shot down, captured, and repeatedly tortured in Vietnam during more than five years as a prisoner of war, much of that in solitary confinement.
The Democrat presidential nominee, in a surprising revelation not mentioned in either of his two memoirs, said, “I actually always thought of the military as an ennobling and, you know, honorable option, but since we weren’t at war, I thought, why bother getting ennobled if you can’t run through a hail of hot lead, or charge up a hill with a bayonet between your clenched teeth and plant Old Glory on the summit?”
The Illinois Democrat said he realized even in high school that peace-time military service “wouldn’t make a big difference on the resume” so he decided to become a community organizer in poor neighborhoods of Chicago, which at the time, was the closest he could get to Vietnam.
Sen. Obama told Mr. Stephanopolous that he had also considered being an Alaskan commercial fisherman and moose hunter, like Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, because “I liked the idea of being a bold adventurer on the American frontier, killing my own food and surviving the harsh elements.”
Instead, young Mr. Obama decided to pursue a law degree, because it was “as close as I could get to having bloody entrails on my hands.”
Obama relying on cartoonist for his message now?
I know Obama is desperate but what does it say about Obama when he has to rely on a cartoonist for his message?
Obama campaign shifting some people out of Georgia
Uh oh.
You gotta love this bit.
"more competitive"? Really? McCain leaps ahead in NC
You gotta love this bit.
"Nearly three weeks after dropping its TV ads, the Democratic presidential campaign of Barack Obama will shift personnel out of Georgia into more competitive states like North Carolina, staffers confirmed Tuesday."
"more competitive"? Really? McCain leaps ahead in NC
"RALEIGH (WTVD) -- In an election for President of the United States in North Carolina Tuesday, Republican John McCain suddenly and breathtakingly surges to a 20-point win over Democrat Barack Obama, 58% to 38%, according to this latest exclusive SurveyUSA election poll conducted for ABC11-WTVD."
McCain leaps ahead in NC
More bad news for Obama.
Obama is now forced to go very neagative on McCain and Palin. The problem is, that's backfiring really badly for Obama. Oh goody!

Obama & Biden - how's the campaign going?
A Democrat gives his opinion.
The question then is, if they can't even run an effective campaign, how can they run the country?
The question then is, if they can't even run an effective campaign, how can they run the country?
Who's pushing the smears against Palin?
Obama and the left wing media of course.
"It's no surprise, then, that Democrats have airdropped a mini-army of 30 lawyers, investigators and opposition researchers into Anchorage, the state capital Juneau and Mrs. Palin's hometown of Wasilla to dig into her record and background. My sources report the first wave arrived in Anchorage less than 24 hours after John McCain selected her on August 29."
The Obama Campaign's horrible day
Let's hope they have a lot more of them.
Joe Biden, intentionally or not, insinuates that Sarah Palin doesn't care about special needs kids because of conservative objections to stem cell research (and the objections of Biden's own religion, natch)
Biden asks a guy in a wheel chair to stand-up in front of a large crowd of people. An honest mistake and I actually feel bad for Biden on this one, but it's not exactly the kind of campaign tableaux you're aiming for.
Long time Obama associate and unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers releases a bizarre statement via cartoon saying "I don't violent resistance is NECESSARILY the answer."
Barack Obama (again, intentionally or not) compares the opposing female vice-presidential candidate to a pig, at a time when she's become a figure of public sympathy because of scores of vile, baseless attacks on Palin and her family by Obama supporters.

Obama flip flops again
This time on 527 groups.
"There's been a spurt of 527 activity on behalf of Sen. John McCain, but Barack Obama campaign has suddenly gone silent on the subject.
That's because, after a year of telling donors not to contribute to 527 groups, of encouraging strategists not to form them and of suggesting that outside messaging efforts would not be welcome in Obama's Democratic Party, Obama's strategists have changed their approach."
Obama calls Palin a pig - video
Glenn has a roundup of reaction to "Swinegate".
This is real old style and old boys gutter politics. So how is this "change" Obama?

ABC says no issue off table for Palin
Actually it was Palin who said no issue was off the table. Keep this in mind as most of the left wing media is reporting that McCain is keeping Palin under wraps.
"NEW YORK (AP) — Charles Gibson's producer says no issue is off the table for Sarah Palin's first TV interview as a vice presidential candidate, which ABC is hoping it can air in part on Thursday.
Gibson will travel to Alaska and will probably speak to Palin at least twice. The challenge for ABC will be making excerpts available in time for "World News" Thursday, which Gibson must broadcast live from that state at 2:30 p.m. local time, said Jon Banner, the broadcast's executive producer."

New York Times - Terrorism a police matter to Obama
Yes, that New York Times.
The Times sets the article up this way.
How does the Times see Obama in this regard?
The Times sets the article up this way.
"THE next president must do one thing, and one thing only, if he is to be judged a success: He must prevent Al Qaeda, or a Qaeda imitator, from gaining control of a nuclear device and detonating it in America. Everything else — Fannie Mae, health care reform, energy independence, the budget shortfall in Wasilla, Alaska — is commentary. The nuclear destruction of Lower Manhattan, or downtown Washington, would cause the deaths of thousands, or hundreds of thousands; a catastrophic depression; the reversal of globalization; a permanent climate of fear in the West; and the comprehensive repudiation of America’s culture of civil liberties."
How does the Times see Obama in this regard?
"That is why it was so disconcerting to hear Barack Obama, on the ABC program “Nightline” in June, commend the virtues of the federal response to the first World Trade Center attack, in 1993. “We were able to arrest those responsible, put them on trial,” he said. “They are currently in U.S. prisons, incapacitated.”
This is entirely true, and yet there is no better example of why law enforcement is inadequate to the demands of effective counterterrorism today than the prosecution of the 1993 bombers."
Biden: Petraeus ‘dead flat wrong’ on Iraq
History has proved both Biden and Obama wrong. If we had listened to these two, al Qaeda would be running Iraq today.
No One Convicted of Terror Plot to Bomb Planes
Here's a terror loop hole that Britain needs to close fast.
"To protect sources and methods, the prosecution was unable to introduce material from British or foreign intelligence agencies. In addition, Britain does not allow information in court that has been gathered from domestic wiretaps."
Quietly, Obama Campaign Calls In The Calvary
Obama is in a panic now.
Obama, like Clinton before him, smugly assumed the Presidency was his. And having ditched Clinton, she won't help him against Palin. Obama is getting just what he deserves - defeat.
"An Obama adviser privy to the campaign's internal thinking on the matter says that,with less than two months before the election and with the realization that Republicans have achieved financial parity with Democrats, they hope that Democratic allies -- what another campaign aide termed "the cavalry" -- with come to Obama's aid. "
Obama, like Clinton before him, smugly assumed the Presidency was his. And having ditched Clinton, she won't help him against Palin. Obama is getting just what he deserves - defeat.
Palin a "Muslim fundamentalists"?
Talk about jumping the shark! The left have gone completely insane.
Palin beats Obama on experience
Says this former Hillary Clinton supporter.
First, on the experience issue, Gov. Palin seems to have Sen. Obama beat. While she is young, three years junior of even Obama, she already has more years of public service than Obama. Further, she actually has executive experience - something Obama and Biden both lack. She also has accomplishments in the areas of ethics, energy and tax policy reform, and even running a private business. She governs the largest land-mass of any U.S. State, and more public land than any other state, and has experience commanding the Armed Forces of Alaska and dealing with foreign borders with Russia and Canada - again both Obama and Biden lack experience in all these areas. Last year alone she implemented a $40 billion natural gas project to bring needed alternative energy sources to the United States. Something that Obama and Biden could only dream of.
Obama and Biden Voted for Bridge to Nowhere
instead of Katrina relief.
"However, Sen. Biden and Sen. Obama voted for funding the Bridge, even when given a second chance by Sen. Tom Coburn, who proposed shifting earmark funds to Katrina relief.
Sen. McCain did not vote on the Coburn Amendment, though he is on record as opposing the Ketchikan bridge earmark."
Obama -"Anybody who was involved in 9/11 –- take ‘em out."
But read them their rights first.
So which is it Obama?
"Obama said his position on this "has always been clear. It has always been clear. If you’ve got a terrorist, take ‘em out. Take ‘em out. Anybody who was involved in 9/11 –- take ‘em out."
But, the former constitutional law professor argued, "What I have also said is this: that when you suspend habeas corpus -- which has been a principle, dating before even our country, it’s the foundation of Anglo-American law -- which says, very simply, if the government grabs you, then you have the right to at least ask, 'Why was I grabbed?' and say, 'Maybe you’ve got the wrong person.'
So which is it Obama?
'I Don’t Believe in Coming in Second,' Obama
Except that Obama was quite happy to cut and run in Iraq and come in second.
What a whiner. Try that line on our troops in Iraq or Afghanistan and see what reaction you get.
“I hope you guys are game,” he said, “because I haven’t been putting up with 19 months of airplanes and hotel food and missing my babies and my wife –- I didn’t put up for that stuff just to come in second. I don’t believe in coming in second. The American people can’t afford for us to come in second. We’ve got to win this thing and we’re going to win it with your help.”
What a whiner. Try that line on our troops in Iraq or Afghanistan and see what reaction you get.
Palin Billed State for Nights Spent at Home
The Washington Post, Obama's spokespeople, try to create a scandal.
Buried deep in he story is this nugget.
So, Palin saved nearly $400,000 in travel expenses in one year! On top of that, she sold the plane and recovered a further $1 million dollars. That's a combined savings of almost $1.5 million dollars in one year!
And this:
More here on the Post's lame attempt at creating a scandal where none exists.
Buried deep in he story is this nugget.
"Gov. Palin has spent far less on her personal travel than her predecessor: $93,000 on airfare in 2007, compared with $463,000 spent the year before by her predecessor, Frank Murkowski. He traveled often in an executive jet that Palin called an extravagance during her campaign. She sold it after she was sworn into office."

National Review Says McCain is Still Gonna Lose
Another lie by the left.
This is the Democrats as they really are. They can't win on ideas so they lie and lie and lie, hoping that some of it will stick and you won't have time to learn the truth. Is this the party you want leading the country?

Democrats Struggle To Respond To Palin
And these guys are supposed to be ready for a surprise terror attack?
"Gov. Sarah Palin continues to dominate the national media's coverage of politics, which is focusing on her effect on Republicans and Democrats alike. In that context, Sens. Barack Obama and Joe Biden appeared on the Sunday shows yesterday, and ABC World News says "what became pretty clear is that the Democrats still have not settled on a strategy for responding to Palin." ABC added, "At this point, the Obama campaign is trying to get the focus off Sarah Palin, and back onto John McCain, and the present occupant of the White House" and will "aim its heaviest artillery at" McCain while "waiting and hoping that Sarah Palin makes a mistake."
Obama admits he would take away your guns if he could
That's what it sounds like.
“Even if I want to take them away, I don’t have the votes in Congress,’’ he said.

Barack Obama 'wanted to join US military'
Yeah right, pull the other one.
Now that we're winning in Iraq Obama wants to be in the military. How pathetic.
"The statement is thought to be the first time during the 19-month-long presidential campaign that the Democratic nominee for the White House has indicated he once wanted to serve in uniform. The aspiration was not mentioned in either of his two volumes of memoirs."
Now that we're winning in Iraq Obama wants to be in the military. How pathetic.
