MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Even as he mounts unceasing attacks on his Republican rival, Barack Obama is ignoring the person on the ticket who is the center of attention: Sarah Palin.
A few syllables are all Obama expends on the Republican vice presidential nominee. He'll mention "McCain-Palin" when he's on the trail; beyond that, her name is taboo.
This was the week Obama rolled out what the campaign billed as a more aggressive persona. And he is indeed denigrating John McCain at every turn. Given his new eagerness to slash at McCain's record, his silence on Palin's record is even more conspicuous.
Palin is the focus of a raging national debate over her qualifications for high office.
Twice at a town hall event in Dover on Friday, Obama fielded questions that invoked Palin.

“Obama...gets tougher on McCain”
Oh yes, like the way Barry made fun of McCain’s war injuries in that email ad. Now that is one tough Muslim.

Is Barry talking about how well he gets those bitter clingers?
He just found out that bashing Palin is above his pay grade. Now he will leave it to the slimes in the MSM and lieaboutthefacts.org.(a moveon.org subsidiary)
Exactly. Time for the McCain camp to counter-attack. Big time.
That's awesome!
Well, if he does stop mentioning her, it will be the first smart thing he’s done in a while.
Every time he talked about her, he just made it more clear how inexperienced he was, and how “last weeks news” his “freshness” had become.
Fast learner - that 'chosen one'...
I guess after shooting off both of your feet, and impaling yourself a couple of times -- I suppose we all learn after awhile...
Here's betting that he still gets unglued the next time Mrs. Palin speaks (but you are probably right -- his handlers will try to keep him muzzled and let his lapdogs in the media do all the yapping)...
Taking off the gloves. AGAIN.
Two weeks too late.
Obama did say he would make the waters recede. Who knew he was speaking metaphorically about the high water mark of his support?
I thought his whole meme was “McCain = Bush”. Why even mention Palin at all?
There, fixed it.
Is she going to be on Sunday morning?
LOLOL....he’s going to attack Johnny Mac with a Rubik’s cube.
“stears clear” “gets tough”
weasel words. If it were McCain, it’d say “avoids” and “attacks”
