I dunno. I saw Obama’s remarks, and if they were directed at Palin, it was subtle enough so that they could replay the lines and say: “Huh? Who, US? What are you talking about?” thereby making US seem like we’re over-reacting... which, in turn, would give them license to say just about anything they please, because they could then point to us and say: “See? There they do, over-reacting again...”
I think we should have just ignored it, taken the high road, and let the media replay it for the public. Women, in particular, are not going to like the sound of Obama saying that.
“There they do...” above should be “There they go...” (but you KNEW that already :-)).
The audience knew what he meant, even if you are confused.
McCain talked about the Hillary health care plan. Obama made it quite clear who/what he was referring to. His audience immediately laughed and chanted Palin’s name. Obama is very scripted. He did not correct the audience.
He’s was caught dead to rights. I think he should have been skewered.
If he doesn’t want to be hounded on stuff like this, he needs to clean up his act. So should his staff and other Democrats.
