Obama campaign smacks McCain down, again...

[americanstranger]

You'd think the Ol' Geezer would stay down, but no...

McCain gets all cranky about Obama not meeting with Petraeus:

Now, why is it that Senator Obama wants to sit down with the President of Iran, but hasn't yet sat down with General Petraeus – the leader of our troops in Iraq?

Obama's spokesman Bill Burton swings back, and connects:

“On the day after the former White House press secretary conceded that the Bush administration used deception and propaganda to take us to war, it seems odd that Senator McCain, who bought the flawed rationale for war so readily, would be lecturing others on their depth of understanding about Iraq. Senator Obama challenged the President's rationale for the war from the start, warning that it would divert resources from Afghanistan and the pursuit of Al Qaeda and mire us in an endless civil war. Senator McCain stubbornly insists on pursuing the failed Bush policy that continues to cost so much, while Senator Obama believes it's time to begin a deliberate, careful strategy to remove our troops and compel the Iraqis to take responsibility for their own future."

2. I feel a little sick every time I see that picture. Eww...nt

[goclark]

7. Is that a photo shop or why are his hands down there? nt

[corkhead]

14. I accidently lifted the photoshopped one for my post, I was in a hurry and didn't see that

12. 15 second commercial with just this picture for first 10 seconds and 5 seconds of "want more?"

...will be cheap, effect and 50 stateable.

3. Obama has questioned Patraeus during

SFRC hearings.

I'm not sure it's his place to "meet" with him now, though.

[americanstranger]

4. McGeezer is just gabbling at this point.

He really wants to find a line of attack that'll stick, but his advisors are zero-for-everything at this point.

8. Hell yeah! Its hilarious when people paint Obama as weak

You can see the steel beneath the surface if you look hard enough. He's from Chicago for gawd's sake!!! The Republicans are burnt toast.

[Life Long Dem]

Obama has them in a neck lock and won't be letting go, anytime soon, uncle or no uncle.

9. If Obama went with McCain, wouldn't that be appeasement?

;)

[hendo]

10. Maybe Obama should meet with Petraeus

but, if he were he should hold off until after Hillary bows out.

[uponit7771]

11. Obama is hitting McSame with his own damn record! Good for him, McSame crawls back into hole

[polichick]

13. Obama's gonna keep slappin' him with reality until his head explodes!

[ErinBerin84]

15. have either Hillary or Obama mentioned

McCain's famous (well, to us at least) "cake during Katrina" moment with President Bush? Would it be worth mentioning, since the passage in the book that talks about the propaganda of the Katrina fly over moment and the bubble that the administration was in during the first week of Katrina? And fucking McCain "I would have gone right there" gobbling cake with his new best-ie in front of air force one?


Lol, the timing of this is all just funny. When McCain started his "no surrender" crap the other day, I posted that it was such a dated thing to say in reference to this war, and that obama should connect that to the propaganda of the whole "mission accomplished" bullshit. Just the fact that the exerpts broke on the night of McCain's first big fundraiser with Bush.

16. It kills me that the "conventional wisdom"

is still that foreign policy is McCain's "strong suit". Why the hell would that be? Do we just assume at Republicans are "strong" because they have traditionally been viewed favorably on foreign policy (though god knows why)? Their foreign policy has been a colossal failure. By that rationale Stephen Baldwin is a great actor.

[malletgirl02]

18. That gets me too

In addition to Republican foreign policy being a complete failure like you said; if people actually listen to McCain people will find out he knows jack shit about foreign policy
