Obama (Camp) Response to Palin - Democratic Underground

Source: TIME - Mark Halperin

“Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain’s commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush’s failed economic policies — that’s not the change we need, it’s just more of the same,” said Bill Burton, Obama Campaign Spokesman.

judgment -- or lack thereof, more accurately. Sarah's okay as a governor of a state of 600,000 population, but a heartbeat away from the presidency? No f****** way.

has nothing to do with "country first" - it's mccain-GOP first.

if Clinton were the dem candidate - would mccain have found a black man as VP pick?

When elected less than two years ago!! she got a grand total of 114,000 votes!

Did anyone else see that picture of her with a fish. What a Nazi nut! She is nothing but more of the same failed policies looking out for the oil industry. She has to be and will be stopped. Just because she has a vagina does mean we will vote for her. She is a hate-filled fraud. Biden will rip her lungs out in the debates.

I'm confused. Was there more to the picture? Do you have a link?

Yeah, I just noticed the McCain campaign theme of "Country First" and immediately began wondering if he valued country over party exactly why did he avidly support Bush during both of his elections and during his 8 years in office?

but since she's a republican, I doubt it.

since it can be used by both sides, and would insult the residents of two states.

It's so absurdly childlike of him to do so, but given her weak credentials, one can't help but think so.

The stench of desperation is all over this "Harrier Myers" of a political dog. What are her Positives really outside she's an exciting maverick (read idiotic) pick for pro-life Women. The only way McOldman beauty chaser (read story on BuzzFlash: http://www.buzzflash.com/articles/election08/315 ) can win this upcoming is to steal it!

I have tried and tried all for three hours trying to visualize Sarah Palin standing beside Sarkozy .......nope, that doesn't work. Let's see...........Sarah Palin standing proudly shoulder to shoulder with Ahmadinejad..........can't visualize that either.........Okay, Sarah Palin sitting at a table discussing global poverty with Medvedev! Nah, even worse......All I can see this woman doing is what she has been doing........nothing. I bet Republicans are quacking in their boots right now!! Imagine little Sarah sitting down to debate BIDEN, of all people. He is going to chew her up and spit her out!

The Christian Cons are celebrating! Palin is one of THOSE freaks and needed to neutralize the pain they may get from voting for McLame.

it gives the media a ready-made excuse for when biden hands her head in the debates... "look at mean old joe biden, picking on the poor little girl."

it sucks, but mark my words, that's how it'll get spun... not that biden won the debate, but he bullied a woman to do it.

still, that's not gonna stop my enjoyment of watching it go down mind you....

sarah palin, 2008's dan quayle.

They believe that they ARE the country. The rest of us can go to hell.

Did anyone see how KO rip the AP for being biased against Obama's speech. Great stuff. Where would we be without him? KO is the best. He will rip this broad apart.

Is anyone surprised?

... and she may be getting more out of this than McCain. Even if McCain doesn't win, she'll have a shot in 4 or 8 years.

......going from bumfuckegypt unknown, to national recognition overnight.

... given the boost this will provide in her national name recognition and fund-raising. Without this, she might have been vulnerable to a Murkowsky-machine challenge in her next Gov. race.

I don't have anything at all against Sarah Palin as governor of Alaska. She has been a breath of fresh air after the horrible Frank Murkowski, and she has stood up to the Corrupt Bastards, including Ted Stevens. She is just fine here -- she offers NOTHING on the national stage to the Republicans other than 1) she's a woman; 2) she's pro-life; and 3) she's a reformer. I think she'll very soon find herself in over her head. She's just a Valley girl from Wasilla (Matanuska Valley, to be exact) and everyone will soon find that out. I feel kind of sorry for her, actually, being made a pawn like this when she could have stayed in Alaska and continued to enjoy her 80% approval rating.

McCain is obviously desperate.

But that's 80% of Alaskans. It's not clear that she would do as well in the "lower 48".

By the way, I thought Hawaii was "foreign and exotic" when Obama went there to visit his grandmother, at least that's what Cokie said. Isn't Alaska also "foreign and exotic" in exactly the same way? We'll have to ask her.

somehow i don't think it will play in the msm. alaska will be as middle america as peoria.

someone with first hand experience.

I, too, am feeling a bit sorry for her. I think they were desperate to find a female Puke with no scandal or stains and she's totally being used.

Barack is going to ram her down McCain's throat on her inexperience and strong chance that she could be President with his age.

And Hillary's folks are not so stupid to just fall in line because he's picked another attractive woman, HILLARY is pro-woman and pro-choice!

It is good to hear from you.
You have more experience in knowing who Palin
is than most of us.

:hi:

I know she's popular there. And my thought was the same as yours: McCain is very desperate, and he's going to use her. What a stupid decision on her part to accept though.

This is the dumbest SC justice in the history of the country. He is Scalia's lap dog. Repukes will do whatever it takes to dupe the American people. This is an obviously politically motivated and sophmoric decision by McLame?Bush Nazi scum.

Grandpa McBush says that Obama doesn't have the experience
Grandpa McBush says that Obama is a "celebrity"
Grandpa McBush is flirting with Leiberman, Romney, Ridge, Pawlenty

After Obama's inspiring speech, Grandpa McBush is inspired to throw all previous choices to the trash and pick someone who not only has no experience, but was first runner-up in Ms. Alaska and had her own photo shoot in Vogue magazine.

Now who's the inexperienced celebrity?

We're all trying to point out the hypocrisy. As usual, it just doesn't dawn on the right-wing trolls. It's like the guy who works at the landfill. When you are gagging on the smell of rot, he doesn't seem affected. When you ask "How can you stand the smell?" he replies "What smell?". This is the right-wing, so mired in the rotting stench of hypocrisy that they don't even notice it anymore.

edit: I really need to spell-check first

The hypocrisy is astounding.

It's tough to get a troll to stick around long enough to even refute/acknowledge the claim.
Poor devils, always on the move.

It's even harder to try to point hypocrisy out to a righty in person. It's like trying to describe the color blue to someone who has been blind from birth. In the land of the right-wing blind, the one-eyed man gets his eye poked out for being a non-conformist.

checkin' out her tits.

I say this as a WOMAN.

And tell me, when was Obama ever a Muslim?

Children born to a Muslim man are automatically Muslims, because Muslims practice patriarchy. Later he was baptized by Jeremiah Wright in the Trinity Church. Am I wrong?

http://isbarackobamamuslim.com /

When I asked, I wasn't thinking about a 10-year-old kid. Cripes, I was a Catholic until I was 16, and I remember almost nothing about that church.

serve as Commander in Chief if for some reason Barack Obama was unwilling or unable.

What a cynical and politically calculating move on the McCain campaign's behalf. Thinking about headlines and soundbites rather than serving this country.

Both Biden and McCain have a long history and are well-known, while Obama less so... and Palen almost entirely unknown.

Were you trying to make a point?

I get your point. This is a move of sheer unadulterated political desperation.

It assumes that McCain will be president. It should read:

"...a possible heartbeat away from the presidency..."

Or: "Today, John McCain undercut his argument for experience by putting a foreign policy novice a potential heartbeat away from his presidency."

Governor’s ethics considered as husband goes back to work at BP
August 23, 2007

News that Governor Sarah Palin’s husband Todd is returning to his pre-election job on the North Slope has gotten some public attention in the last couple of days. But legislators are dismissing the possibility that the job presents a conflict of interest for the Governor.

* Read the State Attorney General’s opinion on Todd Palin’s BP employment (PDF)
http://aprn.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/ag-ethics-ad...

http://aprn.org/2007/08/23/governors-ethics-considered-... /

Two of the world’s biggest oil companies, BP and ConocoPhillips, joined forces Tuesday to try to break a longstanding deadlock over Alaska’s vast reserves of natural gas. They said they would spend billions to build a pipeline from the North Slope to feed energy-hungry markets in the United States and Canada.

The proposal won praise from Alaska’s governor, Sarah Palin. “It’s a good day,” she told reporters in Alaska.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/09/business/worldbusines...

Part of her selection is likely an attempt to continue the "drill everywhere" campaign for energy independence.

but it shows me that mc cain has such a low opinion of women, just window dressing John, no Clinton supporter is going to vote for you because you picked a woman!! this is such a sham. Desperation too. Just window dressing they are a desperate bunch. Their convention will be a joke.

Also a good reminder of McCane's age and health history.

BTW - WTF kind of choice for VP is this, anyhow?

(He's down to listing her PTA and point guard qualifications.)

I had to walk away from the TV after the PTA line. This is just ridiculous.

Chuckle! Yeah, that had me laughing. I was wondering if he was going to mention her being on the yearbook committee, too.

I don't think they make those in DC....... LOL

I couldn't believe he got in to the minutae of personal bio. who cares.

McCain selects a VP with absolutely NO foreign policy experience. What am I missing?

so therefore Palin has lots of foreign policy experience.

Did they really say that? WOW. Hey, New York is kinda close to the Ocean, that means I'm a merman!

NYS butts up against Canada - you're a veritable expert on all things foreign!

Please be kidding...he didn't actually say that did he? Without irony?

<sigh>

What did the Brown Haired Guy who isn't Steve Doocy say?

:rofl:

TPM has it I think. Doesn't surprise me. I bet the viewers didn't even recognize the stupidity of that statement.

"I bet the viewers didn't even recognize the stupidity of that statement."

I think you're right, and that's one of the saddest things I've heard all day.

Some of the things that come out of people I know, people who can dress themselves and are otherwise intelligent, just amazes me. It's this authority thing, "well, I heard it on t.v. or read it in the paper or so and so told me so I believe it!"

Then I have to spend day after day convincing them it isn't true, if it's possible to do so. Something like this, well, what can you do besides try to teach mini critical thinking classes? <tired...>

I'm sure Russia is still pissed they sold it to us for 2 cents an acre.

sorry for the outburst. You're funny.

In childbirth. Who's taking care of that poor Down Syndrome baby?

McLame has played his card and it's far-right. Thanks for ensuring Hillary's "18 million chinks in the wall" or whatever Palin said today will vote for Barack. No way those older uber-feminists and Union employees who voted for Hillary will tolerate this wingnut.

In her first speech, she offered her gender as a reason to vote for the Republican ticket ("to break through the glass ceiling")

I missed Obama's comments in his acceptance speech last night, imploring voters to elect our first black President.

I really hope this backfires. But again the media will play this BS up. Hopefully the American people won't bite.

... and so are trying to rebrand the campaign as reform-minded... as well as going for the gender vote.

I am not a fan of McCain and will not vote for him, but he can argue that he has the foreign policy experience. In addition, he could ask how much foreign policy experience did Bill Clinton have when he ran for president. I know McCain has called Obama out on his lack of experience, but he also could make the argument that many supporter of Obama have made in defense of Obama picking Biden as the Vice Presidential pick; Obama is running for president, Palin is running for Vice President.

I guess everybody should start talking about the fact that the last time there was a Republican running for high office that claimed they were both a staunch conservative and willing to reach across party lines things changed once they finally got to Washington. George Bush sure lost his taste for bipartisanship after he was elected/selected for President. It is very possible Palin will do the same if she become Vice President.

but the guy actually running for president is old and damaged enough that (the case could be made) she might as well be.

...she's just half a beat away from the Presidency!

This makes him scarier then ever

Stop the Drama Vote Obama

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3302...

Bush is a joke.
Repukes are jokes.
What dod you expect from these chumps? Samity? Nope.

Biden will rip her lungs out in the debate. You watch. She has absolutely no experience. None. McCain is a fool.

He chose her because she was available and she accepted. Everybody else: Mittens, Pawlenty, etc turned him down because they know their chances this year are nil.

but Rove has some play in this. Inexperience and incompetence is their MO.

Clearly another example of the GOP planning 4 more years that look just like the past 8.

TVNewser commenter NotsoAnonymous reminds us that VP candidate Gov. Sarah Palin is a former TV reporter. After receiving a journalism degree from the University of Idaho, Palin worked briefly as a sports reporter for TV stations in Anchorage.

And, like some other TVNewsers, she's also a former beauty queen. Palin was Miss Wasilla 1984 and a runner-up in the Miss Alaska pageant that year.

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser /

:rofl:

judgment as McCain does. A person with half a brain would realize her qualifications for VP are sorely lacking and would feel she would not be working in the country's best interest to accept such a huge undertaking.

It's posted in the threads.
I was floored.

Can you see her running the Senate?

You're right.
She should say she's flattered, then back away from the podium, slowly, while smiling.

What makes her think she could be president? Or are Republicans simply impervious to self-doubt?

The only thing better than this would have been McBush picking Losermann.

The Daily Show will be all over this.

The conservatives who seem to be praising this choice are the same ones who think women should stay home and take care of the children.

Remember the GOP policy, divide and Conquer. The GOP has seen the massive support for Hillary among Democrats (She did come to a close second to Obama in total votes casted in the Primary). The GOP is hoping by picking a woman, any woman, to get some of those votes for the GOP instead of Obama. This would have been less effective had Obama picked Hillary instead of Biden, but if Obama had picked Hillary, the GOP would have picked someone else to split some minority from the Democratic Vote column.

Please note, this is NOT an attack on Obama or Hillary, just that this woman would NOT have been picked had Obama picked Hillary as his VP. The sole reason she was picked is to divide up the Democratic Vote and nothing more.

Second Note: Notice I did NOT mention the GOP candidates name in this thread. The reason for this is based on a comment FDR told his speech writers in the 1936 elections. FDR said that some people go into the voting booth NOT knowing who they are going to vote for and end up voting for the name they have heard the most, thus NEVER mention the GOP candidate by name. Call him the GOP candidate, the Republican nominee or anything else BUT NEVER HIS NAME. I policy I suggest we all adopt.

THIS is a bid for the independent Hillary supporters. Remember, the Republicans need to pick up 30 million independents.

And I like what you said about names.

Basically is the GOP would mention his name over and over again, because the GOP hated FDR that much. FDR was counting of that use of his name, and was one of the reasons for his overwhelming victory that year. In 1940 the GOP learned they lesson, they picked a ex-New Dealer as their Candidate. He did better then the right wing Politician the GOP picked in 1936, but also in 1940 the GOP stopped mentioning FDR's name in every ad.

whoops I'm really pissed off today

I'm currently searching for the ass I just laughed off.

This is a Democrat board.

I think the experience angle will work on Palin and not Obama. Obama has earned his place. Palin has. She was chosen.

Obama has shown leadership on Iraq. He was the only that was right.

I am a newbie. I didn't like this guy's post. But why was it deleted?

it violated a basic tenet of this message board

The VP debate will be rout!
