I love how Obama responds to all the petty bogus Bullshit

[Hellataz]

As I've watched Obama through this campaign, and I like a lot of people have wished from time to time that he would go on the attack and give the GOP some of their own medicine, but the more i think about it, the more I have to admit that Obama has the right idea.

I've always admired how the Democrats take the high road and try and focus on the issues and not smear campaigns, but cringe every time i see them trampled on by all the Bullshit the GOP throws at them. I always wish they would fight back, but in a way that isn't as nasty and underhanded as the GOP. I think Obama has accomplished that.

I love how he ignores their obvious personal and moral defect and just attacks them on their issues, and he's not a punk about it either, he attacks them strongly. I love how he is so quick to respond to their pathetic allegations and basically says "Here's the facts, now can we move on?" I love how he rises above their negativity and remains civil and articulate, how he never shows that they are getting to him, he remains calm and composed like the classy guy he is.

And I love Love LOVE how he and Biden call those two punks out to show americans that the GOP has nothing but mud to sling and one liners to repeat and no real stance on any issues that matter.. I cheered when Biden threw "I'm a parent too" back at Palin and when he called out McCain on his "Mavick" moniker. And I love how Obama is calling out McCain/Palin out on trying to distract Americans with their smear campaigns instead of talking about the real issues.

In all the audience responses to the debates the negative comments and jabs were being responded too very badly, People don't like that shit. So I think Obama and Biden are on the right track and i hope they keep it up, stay on that high road and I hope American recognize their strength as well as McCain/Palin's pathetic ploys.

One last thing I think is a great idea, their spam alert email address : [email protected]

Anytime I get some smear email or GOP rhetoric I forward it to that address and then they can be made aware of what is being sent under the radar of the media and address it before the lies spread even further. I recommend everyone do that, so that Obama is never blindsided by these lies and schemes.

1. You don't necessarily have to respond in the same way

But you MUST respond. There are a LOT of people out there who pay only slight attention to any of the political goings-on and what they heard last is what sticks with them. The Democrats have been foolish to ignore this kind of stuff in the past.

2. I agree, which is why I'm glad Obama is taking on the BS as it comes

He needs to keep reminded the american people that McCain/Palin have nothing to offer us but one liners and negativity.
