Obama: McCain Scoring "Cheap Political Points" (challenges McCain to "say it to my face")

Sen. Barack Obama says the personal attacks levied against him by the campaign of his presidential rival, Sen. John McCain, particularly references to his association with 1960s anti-war radical Bill Ayers, are an attempt to "score cheap political points."

"I am surprised that, you know, we've been seeing some pretty over-the-top attacks coming out of the McCain campaign over the last several days, that he wasn't willing to say it to my face. But I guess we've got one last debate. So presumably, if he ends up feeling that he needs to, he will raise it during the debate."

They are both rope-a-doping Obama with their good cop/bad cop routine.

This just occurred to me but I just wonder how tense Barry was on the inside during the last debate? You know that Nobama was just WAITING for McCain to "say it to his face."

I bet this sort of tactic is really starting to wear on Nobama bin Biden and it shows with his childlike comment.

What kind of person would allow a baby who survived an abortion, denied medical care and allowed to die a cold lonely death? Does this creep have a soul? I hope our Lord in Heaven saves America from this creep./Just Asking - seoul62........

I believe Brit Hume is moderating the final debate. I imagine that McCain will look surprised when Hume brings up the issue and McCain will proceed to call Obama on the carpet for this. Obama will keep repeating his mantra about being 8 years old and that he didn’t know about Ayers background despite being employed by and supporting him for over four years.

Obie sent Michelle out to talk about Ayers with Larry King. I guess Obie can't be trusted to hold his tongue. It would be really sad to find out his wife is the level headed one in the family.

Notice that despite his little tantrum, Barry does not DENY the accusation.,

Go get 'im Senator McCain!

You have to love the smell of fear in the DNC.

I find it very interesting that Alan Colmes was saying. . .”why doesn’t McCain ask him to his face” on tonights broadcast. Must be the new TALKING POINTS.

Get ready to rumble in the sambhogkaya.

The Obama outer disguise is cracking. The Demon beneath is beginning to show.

Hope & Change is about to become Rope and Chains!

The Chakravartins have descended and are now turning Obama's crank.

Further Klesha attacks will manifest in Obama-meister.

He knows not NOW!

I’d like to see McCain say it to his face...come on he’s asking for it.

[pepperhead]

And doesn't one of the four advise Obama? (Glenn)

That is what I heard. If that is true it would make it hard for Obama to bring it up. McCain can fire right back at Obama with that fact.

What kind of person would allow a baby ....to die a cold lonely death?

I think this bothers me as much as Odinga, Ayers, or Marxist ties.

Anyone who could listen to all the stories and pleas to stop this practice of refusing medical care to born-alive infants is evil incarnate.

He is a two bit, commie-organizer, rent-a-thug. The Emperor has no clothes. He reminds me of the Peter Sellers character in the movie: Being There./Just Asking - seoul62........

Alan Colmes was using the say it to his face talking points with Newt tonight. Now I know why.

In an email, I lit into Coles for bein an idiot for accusing McCain of being afraid of confronting Obama. After I read this, I wrote him and apologized. Colmes isn't an idiot, he is parroting an idiot.

[bayliving]

Obie sent Michelle out to talk about Ayers with Larry King.

Wait, so it is absolutely FINE for Nobama to send his skirt out to handle the accusations leveled at HIM? Let his wife do the talking?! In the circles I run in you would be called a wuss for that.

But some how it is unmanly for McCain to raise LEGITAMITE ISSUES somewhere other than the debate floor where he can't see Osissy's face?

Double wimp move today by Osissy.

Bob Schieffer is supposed to be doing the next debate.

Barack is looking for a pair.

[kabar]

I agree. You are missing the point. Obama is acting like a tough guy saying that McCain is afraid to talk about Ayers to his face. Yet, Obama has been attacking McCain on the Keating Five and Obama wimped out at the debate.

[Fred Nerks]

LOL! He's looking a little peaked, he has lost a lot of weight recently, been bumming smokes, running on adrenaline, classic narcissist, listens to no-one, knows everything, won't take advice, his handlers have to be careful now...but remember, even when hitler was clearly faced with defeat, he called for his astrologer and blamed his generals, threw tantrums, had fits...chewed the carpet on the floor! Narcissists always respond with inappropriate force. Manipulation, threats, intimidation. The monster they have created will turn on them and bite them. It's written! Rope-a-dope him! He can't help himself.

[griffin]

Obama taunting McCain physically, Madonna wants to kick Palin’s butt....

I've never seen so many tolerant, liberal, peace activists before!

[purplelobster]

Thanks for calling my attention to that. I could swear that I had read that Hume was moderating, but no, it does look like it’s Schieffer. In that case I expect that Schieffer will mention something about Obama/Ayers, but probably in a softball fashion that will try to shame the viewer into caring about this highly valid issue.
