Obama's Strategy for Campaigning Against McCain-Palin, the POW and the Mom

"Kids for the Hero and the Mom"

That hand-lettered sign, held aloft by a little boy at a rally this week in Virginia for GOP nominee John McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin, neatly summed up the dilemma Barack Obama faces going into the final stretch of the presidential campaign.

With the emergence of Palin as a national celebrity with powerful appeal to the previously uninspired Christian right and a healthy cohort of white women, nervous supporters have been urging the Democratic nominee to get tougher, sharper, meaner. But how does Obama, the proponent of post-partisan politics, do that against a Republican ticket that has spent the past two weeks wrapping and rewrapping itself in powerful, myth-making narratives of working motherhood and military service?

Republican strategists, many of whom came to the McCain effort from the Bush-Cheney political stable, have turned Palin's gender into her armor. Similarly, they've increasingly used McCain's harrowing 5½ years in a Vietnamese prison camp four decades ago to inoculate him from criticism ranging from his episodes of confusion about warring factions in Iraq to his uncertainty about how many homes he and his wife, Cindy, own. (When questioned later about his lack of knowledge about their collection of homes, McCain deflected with his POW experience: "I spent some years without a kitchen table, without a chair, and I know what it's like to be blessed by the opportunities of this great nation.")

Thursday, adding to McCain's Vietnam narrative, a Swedish television station released a rarely seen video of a thin, young, but already gray-haired McCain stiffly disembarking from a bus carrying just-released American POWs. Full disclosure: U.S. News in January posted on its website McCain's first-person account of his ordeal, which was published in the magazine in May 1973.

...get tougher, sharper, meaner.

Yeah Obama! Come on and show us how much of a "uniter" you REALLY are!

[stocksthatgoup]

Obama should let everyone know that John McCain is computer illiterate! Yeah, that will work! /s

[comebacknewt]

We are fighting evil this election, and sadly nearly half of all Americans will choose to vote for evil.

It is up to us to help make sure they are not a majority and that the wrong man does not get put into office.

[goldstategop]

Yep. He can't run on the issues: he has none. All he had was being the Messiah and that's gone. Now he's just another Democratic liberal hack politician.

Obama's Strategy...

Ooo, I got it:

"The Heck with the War Hero and the Hockey Mom. Vote for the Two Lawyers."

[mrmargaritaville]

McCain Palin are going to be in the Youngstown OH area Tuesday..

I’m going to try to get there with the following sign:

MCCAIN=AMERICAN HERO
OBAMA=AMERICAN ZERO

[MrB]

I don’t think he’ll do it, or maybe only through surrogates.

If he sharpens the tone himself, he becomes the “angry black man”.

[MrB]

The left has pretty much always sided with evil. It’s just that we (I) are just starting to recognize it as such.

The left is trying to defeat God and all that He stands for.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Yeah. He’ll get his toadies to continue doing it as he tries to appear above the fray. An old Clintonista tactic.

[mathurine]

Put lipstick on two lawyers and what have you got? Nothin’ much, before or after.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Has anyone sent this video of Rev. Manning to the Obama Campaign and Rev. ( Chickens coming home to roost ) Wright ?

[Prophet in the wilderness]

All I can say is, this is a blistering woodshed spanking of Obama and the MSM.

[Interesting Times]

You can put lipstick on a radical community organizer, but it’s a waste of lipstick...

[tet68]

Put lipstick on two lawyers and what have you got? Nothin’ much, before or after.

Except a third lawyer will make a video of it and keep it
in his safe.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

” The left is trying in their vain attempt to defeat God and all that He stands for.”

There now, fixed.


Psalm 2

1.Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2.The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3. Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.
5. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

That video in post # 3 should be sent to the Obama campaign and Rev. ( Chickens come home to roost ) Wright and show them what angry looks like.
