As they map out a strategy against Republican presidential candidate John McCain, Barack Obama and his advisers plan to emphasize big themes and generational contrasts.
....
More broadly, Obama will be using the theme of "yesterday versus tomorrow," with McCain billed as the candidate of the past and Obama as the candidate of the future. This would also bring the age issue into the campaign. McCain would be the oldest person ever sworn in as president, at 72, and many Americans have expressed concern to pollsters that the Arizona senator is past his prime.

Reagan: "I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience,"
Video at PBS.
You mean, Obama will resort to age discrimination,...
They’d better not get McCain pissed off. If he so chooses he can utterly destroy Obama in any debate over the Wright connection. (If he so chooses)
Obambi is a putz. He has served a whopping two years in the Senate and done jack squat. Obambi, get your cookies and sippy cup and let the adults handle things.
With age comes wisdom, patience, knowledge and in Mccains case EXPERIENCE!
Obama reminds me of a kid in college, he wants to save the world, he has all the answers, wet behind the ears, and
NO EXPERIENCE!
The Dems have already started, somewhat.
Just this morning on Fox&Friends, one of the commentators made reference to McCain having ‘memory’ problems as he was unable to distinguish al-Qaeda and Sunnis and Shi’ites.
By fall, they will be vocally proclaiming the GOP as the Grand OLD Party.
Reagan had the style to pull off making that kind of remark.
McCain doesn’t.
Patriotism trumps age
Service trumps age
ANYTHING trumps obamamama
And if it is directed in the direction of the UnAmerican Dems and the Islamic cults, instead of us, it will have to do.
I think it is fair. It’s the same thing when Obama says we need change from what we’ve had meaning bush, clintin, bush and the one who wants to be President . It means he wants to move on. Everyone is too touchy about McCain’s age. So what about his age. No one can predict the future. I would ignore it all if I were McCain but...I DO think it is fair and can’t fault Obama for it.
McCain's biggest problem might be his lack of good character. Once the story of his adultery and his extreme lying, for example, get wider exposure, it will make him look bad.
Now Obama is insulting everybody old enough to remember when John F. Kennedy was shot.
O’Bama is not old enough to remember that. His campaign was domed after what he said about small town Pennsylvania but now it is double domed.
Last I checked, McKennedy - er McCain at least wasn’t drugged out or had any serious disease. Let’s see - OLD, or SICK. Read more below:
From http://timesonline.typepad.com/comment/2008/04/the-drug-abuse.html
“...In his riveting volume In Sickness and In Power, former Foreign Secretary and medic David Owen reviews the health and medication of leaders over the last century. The chapter on Kennedy is jaw-dropping.
Owen starts by convincingly asserting that Kennedy was much sicker than is commonly appreciated and certainly much sicker than was appreciated at the time. His Addison’s disease was very debilitating and needed constant attention....”
But the man that impregnated his mother before leaving her two years later was black.
In Democrat circles, where you are judged by the color of your skin, not on your accomplishments or the content of your character, that trumps everything else as long as you are "articulate and clean".
You know, I heard Luciano Pavarotti live, twice, in small opera houses. He was off his game both times, sweating and nervous (once he was singing for President Reagan at Ford's Theater in DC), and off the beat of the music. But even at his worst, he was better than any other tenor, then and now.
I'll take any Republican past his prime over either of the Democrat contenders in this election.
...antisemitism, antiwhite racism, and yes age discrimination. Change, “yes we can” says the Obama campaign...the elephant in the room that noone wants to talk about at CNN, NBC and CBS/
Wright, a former muslim, Obama raised in Indonesia, attended a muslim school, and Ferrakhan a known muslim;
interesting connections aren’t they.
Top thread in Breaking...come over.
This is what I received in an email today.—It’s UNBELIEVABLE
Subject: Obama Explains National Anthem

Obama Explains National Anthem Stance On Sat, 22 Mar 2008 18:48:04 -0400, :
Hot on the heels of his explanation for why he no longer wears a flag pin, presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama was forced to explain why he doesn’t follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.
According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171, During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart.
“As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides,”
Obama said. “There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem it self conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing.’ If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.”
“I don’t think my church is actually particularly controversial.” - Barack Obama.
You know no one has busted BO on the fact that he has tried to portray himself younger than what he is. He is a baby boomer just as I am, he’s 11 months younger than I am. Granted younger boomers but boomers just the same. He is not part of GenX that is 1965- as he tries to portary himself as.
Obama is great with a script. When he actually has to give coherent thoughts extemperaneously, he sounds like a 4 year old.
I don’t like either mclame nor hussein. mclame is a little less left then the fake messiah.
What I would like to see is an Ultimate Fighting match between the two.
I’d bet on mclame!
When I get on an airplane I’m always happy to see a pilot with gray hair rather than one who looks like he just graduated high school. I like that in a president too.
Not only is he a putz, but a half-witted, slimy, and bigoted putz.
He said about 98% of ‘there is no Alqaida in Iraq,’ said all but the final q in Iraq. About Penn small towns he said they mistrust newcomers and like guns, among other things. I think the bowling exhibition took a lot out of him and he is tired.
“If he so chooses he can utterly destroy Obama in any debate over the Wright connection.”
From what I have seen of McPain is that he will probably say that “Mr. Obama is eminently qualified to be the next POTUS but blah, blah, blah” Then he will turn around and apologize to Hussein.
I hope that he will be tougher when dealing with our adversaries.
McCain should select his (younger) VP choice sooner rather than later, to take the edge off the age issue.
He will definitely be tougher than the two commies on Dem side.
Remember him from the Clinton/Paula Jones days?
He was 'Toon's attorney and was often at odds with his brother - Bill Bennett - over the case.
Reagan was vigorous. McCain comes across frail. Why shouldn’t Obama use the fact that he’s old? The presidency makes great physical demands on a person. Look how quickly they age in office.
In 1565, Jean de la Valette was exactly the age McCain is now when he personally led the successful defense of Malta against the massed forces of the Ottoman Empire and saved Europe from conquest by Islam.
McCain’s mother is also in her nineties and has all her marbles so there’s an indication. And Osamabama’s parents both died young. So what’s it all mean?
Nuthin.
Actually, Obama's campaign has been "double domed" from day 1:
:-)
It is a scandal and an outrage that the story of the Siege of Malta is virtually unknown in the West; not honored, not taught in our history books.
Fine, go ahead and talk about his age. We will talk about the difference between Barak Hussein Obama’s and John Sidney McCain’s patriotism, experience, devotion to duty, pride in his country, and his many years in the Senate where he’s actually done something other than campaign for the next highest office.
I think Hussein’s big weak spot is his total lack of any experience as a legislator or leader, as he’s spent all of his political career running for election. He has NO record.
Period. The End.
You are correct sir.
He did not really say that - did he???
Here's what I found by research: in a comment on MY FOX Orlando
http://community.myfoxorlando.com/blogs/rexsmom/2008/02/28/He_wants_to_lead_which_country#comments
"Turns out this article was written by John Semmens, a columnist for a website called “The Arizona Conservative”.
http://www.azconservative.org/
Mr. Semmens columns are actually satires. In other words, he takes bits of actual events, and makes a comedy out of it. In short, it didn't actually happen. I found a blog about this very subject, with the following explanation by him:
“It is semi-true. Obama doesn’t wear a flag pin and was photographed not saluting the flag. I have merely divulged his inner thoughts explaining his actions.”
I love a good Obama bash as much as you guys do, but sometimes, you just have to be careful of what you receive in your email. ;-)"
Obama’s got more to worry about. When he tries to halt the 100 Years War in the Mideast, the Military-Industrial Complex will take him out from behind a grassy knoll somewhere just like JFK...and blame it on some lone & looney Leftist Marine getting off 3 shots in less than 6 seconds with a broken rifle & a bad case of ‘Maggie’s Drawers’...
Right...
Hopefully McCain will pick a VP who, him (or her) self will be electable in '12.
