Victim Barack Obama Plays the Age Card Against McCain
There is at least one type of discrimination that is allowed by the media this year...
Media darling Barack Obama played the age card today in discussing John McCain with Wolf Blitzer.
CNN reported:
Barack Obama chastised John McCain Thursday for engaging in “smear” politics, and defended himself from critics who question whether he is capable of being commander-in-chief, during a wide-ranging interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer — his first sit-down since the Indiana and North Carolina primaries.Of course, Hamas DID support Obama along with every other enemy of the United States so it's not a smear- It's truth.
“This is offensive, and I think it's disappointing,” Obama told Blitzer, when asked his thoughts about McCain’s comments that the terrorist organization Hamas wants Obama to be president. “Because John McCain always says ‘I am not going to run that kind of politics,’ and to engage in that kind of smear is unfortunate, particularly because my policy toward Hamas has been no different than his.
“I’ve said it’s a terrorist organization and we should not negotiate with them unless they recognize Israel, renounce violence, and unless they are willing to abide by previous accords between the Palestinians and the Israelis. So for him to toss out comments like that I think is an example of him losing his bearings as he pursues this nomination. We don’t need name calling in this debate.”
They are very public about it.
The fact that Gazans support Barack Obama is no surprise.
They hold meetings before each Democratic primary to promote Obama.
But, the fact that Obama can get away with accusing a 70 year-old man of "losing his bearings" is evidence that Barack has no problem with playing the age card against his opponent.
Powerline has more on Obama's rhetorical tricks.
Charlie Foxtrot has more words for Obama.
LOST BEARINGS UPDATE: Obama spoke about his trips to the 57 states today... 57.

Despite his privileged education, he's still grammatically challenged.
It should read is an example of his losing his bearings. (see gerunds)
Another reason not to trust him.
Surely this will go over well with the most reliable voting bloc in the country.
I'm thinking the same thing freedomplow; since dreadful identity politics will most likely be the determining factor McCain has not only the most reliable voting bloc but the largest.
These days the young 'whipper snappers' are a tad full of themselves and their arrogance will likely set them back a bit.
I'm only 47, and don't particularily care for McCain's maverickness however attacking our elders as old, demented, and losing their bearings shows infantile disrespect; a real turn off.
Looks like the perpetual whiners of the ultra-left Obamaniac wing will approve sitting down with Ahmadodojihad & Hamas ’splodin’ dudes because preconditions….or what?
Obama is a fool and a lot of his supporters are totally delusional. It’s the Big Leagues now and he’s gotta man up and stop whining. He said some stupid things & as his "mentor & pastor" would say, the chickens are coming home to roost.
Obama should get a pair of stones and stop whining while he plays dirty against McCain & Clinton. Does he actually believe that blacks & eggheads & a media that let him pander will get him the presidency? Too many sensible people out there—ain’t gonna happen.
And of course, his surrogates will say that anything referring to his own race & his pastor’s rants will be racism—did anyone hear him mention "typical white person" about his grandma, who raised him while his worthless drunk bigamist daddy abandoned him at two. That’s gratitude!
And he told Wolf yesterday that he could win the votes of "hard-working white people." Is that a racial slur against blacks?
He’s an amateur.

and there's tons more.. didn't even get into Farrakhan, Ayers, etc.. connections to each other, never mind their connections to every other despot on the planet, ie: Chavez or Ortega (who also endorsed Obama, go figure)..

Weaksauce, Barak!
I think this article pretty much sums it up...
The Champ Is Here
Some conservatives have given McCain grief for not being aggressive enough against Obama in his rhetoric. Perhaps McCain is using a variation of Muhammad Ali’s old rope-a-dope strategy: let Obama and his third-party “progressive” cohorts land hard shots at McCain, while he covers himself up and avoids a knockout blow. Then, when Obama, like George Foreman in October 1974, has worn himself down, McCain will come firing back with the critical blows needed to put Obama down for the count.
In a strange way, both McCain and Obama bear similarities to Ali. Obama is as fiercely antiwar as Ali was in the late-1960s, and like the former Cassius Clay, he has surrounded himself with political extremists fashionable to the left-wing elite (the rhetoric coming from Ali’s Nation of Islam friends in the 1960s was arguably worse than the stuff emanating from Jeremiah Wright’s mouth in the 2000s). Obama is young, brash, charismatic, and has the gift of gab—much like the “Louisville Lip” himself.
Yet McCain is like the veteran Ali—an experienced fighter who knows how to defeat younger, less gifted opponents. McCain has had high-profile bouts in adverse climates: he hasn’t won all of those fights, but he’s learned from every battle. He knows what it’s like to have hard punches thrown at him, and he knows how to throw hard punches right back. Like Ali in the “Rumble in the Jungle”, he goes into this fight against Obama with all the odds stacked against him, with all the observers insisting that he has no chance. Yet he has a clear strategy to win the championship—a strategy that his younger, cockier opponent cannot possibly anticipate.
All McCain has to do is wait for the right opening—for that moment when Obama loses his cool, loses his footing, and loses his nerve. He will then pounce, hitting Obama with so many rights he’ll be begging for a left. Despite his clear political talent, Obama does not have enough experience in the sweet science to send McCain to the mat. He will try his best to knock McCain down—but once McCain gets going, Obama’s punches will have little force behind them.
Obama’s hands can’t hit what his eyes can’t see—and Obama and his supporters can’t see the winning combination McCain is waiting to deliver. Years from now, when we look back upon this fight, we’ll say that not only did McCain knock Obama out, he picked the round.

Why doesn't Obama address the issue, "Why does Hamas support him?"
Why are terrorist organizations and regimes supporting Barack Obama? Trinity Church supports Hamas, why wouldn't Hamas figure a Trinity church member of 20-years, namely Obama, would also support them. One doesn't have to jump too far to make a connection here.
Obama should just stop his bloody whining and man up! If the election campaign trail gets down and dirty, it is because the truth needs to come out so Americans can choose a President that will lead them into a safe and prosperous future, and not backtrack them into a socialist hell-zone.

Joanne @ 4:57 PM..
like many others.. all good questions Joanne..
however, Obama has yet to answer any questions whatsoever..
his giving "defensive speeches" after he's been caught & backed into a corner, is his way of ANSWERING QUESTIONS HE DOESN'T WANT TO ANSWER, gah!!

HT : Rezko Watch
Obama fires Middle East adviser over talks with Hamas (Updated 2x)
excerpt:
[Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt "responded swiftly," Baldwin wrote: "Rob Malley has, like hundreds of other experts, provided informal advice to the campaign in the past. He has no formal role in the campaign and he will not play any role in the future."
Malley, when asked if the "Obama campaign was aware of his contact with Hamas, he replied: 'They know who I am but I don't think they vet everyone in a group of informal advisers.'"]
yeah right.. Obama got caught again, he's known about Malley from the beginning (heck, Obama has other Hamas contacts as well) just like he's known about Wright, Rezko, cousin Odinga, etc.. who also have contacts, duh!!
