Obama: Gaffes and Palin Have Obama Playing Defense
Obama Has Lost His Mojo
Obama Gaffes Pile Up
A new ad from the Obama campaign ridicules John McCain for not using the Internet, perhaps not realizing that McCain’s war injuries leave him unable to use a keyboard. This ad comes on the heels of Obama’s ‘lipstick on a pig’ controversy, which is still fueling late night talk shows. The lipstick controversy came on the heels of another Obama gaffe, when he artlessly referred to “my Muslim faith.”
The Obama gaffes are piling up, and we’re not even counting his VP pick, Biden, who himself is racking up an impressive number of ‘oops’ moments. Poor Obama is definitely having a bad week.
The media anointed Messiah, the man the world would like to elect president, has gone from playing offense to playing defense. And he’s not playing well.
Obama is a charismatic, compelling figure. His appeal is undeniable, as long as he is presented in a multi-million dollar staged setting with teleprompters and a prepared speech. Take him out of this element however, and the contrast is as shocking as seeing Ms. America sans make-up on a bad hair day.
Complete with morning breath.
No where is the contrast greater than this video clip of Obama in a townhall meeting. His words are confusing, his body language defensive. His coat is off and his sleeves are rolled up, in what appears to be an attempt to be as one with the working man. It doesn’t work. Instead, Obama looks rumpled, frayed and clueless.
He apologizes for his lack of coherence by explaining that he had a late night, which doesn’t bode well for any future 3AM moments.
After months of media adulation, world attention and surging poll numbers, Obama has hit a speed bump on the road to assuming his rightful place as America’s president. That speed bump is Sarah Palin. In the blink of an eye, the novelty of Obama’s race has given way to the novelty of Sarah’s gender. Point, counterpoint.
With Sarah Palin on the scene, the Obama camp loses a valuable asset, the race card. Charges of racism for those stupid enough not to vote for Obama can now be credibly countered with the sexism card. Obama is finding out that life isn’t fair and that what goes around, comes around.
Obama is now playing defense. Instead of blessing the great unwashed with his pearls of wisdom, he finds himself reacting instead of acting. He has turned from the agent of change to the agent of the perpetual whine.
John McCain has stolen his slogan. Everyone knows Obama owns the ‘change’ mantra and its just not fair for McCain to co-opt it. And besides, Sarah Palin is lying and McCain is so stupid he can’t use the Internet.
The attacks from Obama are not playing well in Peoria. In fact, the backlash is hurting Obama and throwing Democrats into a frenzy as more women, independents and Democrats switch their allegiance to McCain. Oh, the fickleness of it all.
What has become increasingly clear is that Obama seems incapable of embracing change. His political playbook was written 20 years ago and Obama is sticking to it. He doesn’t realize that the game has changed. The media is, gasp, under fire for being so blatantly in Obama’s corner. The polls in battleground states are starting to lean towards McCain and the presidential tracking polls have McCain ahead by 3. Palinmania has replaced Obamamania. This wasn’t supposed to happen.
In politics, perception is reality and Obama’s reality is changing.
The first major decision presidential nominee Barack Obama made was to pick Joe Biden as his running mate. To millions of Americans, this signaled politics as usual, not the change Obama was promising.
The policies Obama supports, now that he has been forced to give specifics, are clearly the timeworn democrat positions: higher taxes, more government, abortion on demand, and promising (money) cures for yet to be manufactured crisis’. This is Obama’s platform. The only change is the messenger. And the messenger is off his game.
Millions of Americans know something the experts, pollsters and pundits don’t yet know. The evidence of their own eyes tells them what legions of experts refuse to acknowledge. Obama has lost his mojo. That’s both the perception and the reality.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who are you kidding? This has been Christmas in September for the Democrats!!!
Black Monday, Wall Street is on the verge of collapse, but all McSame can do is babble about the fundamentals being strong and appointing a 9/11 commission. And I suppose you didn’t get the meme about McCain having invented the Blackberry!! And getting his ass whooped on the View for telling so many LIES that even his poor little rich wife had to WHINE about it .
Meanwhile, Palin refuses to meet with the Troopergate investigators, still keeps repeating the lies about not being for the Bridge to Nowhere, while hiding the fact that she supports yet another Bridge and Road to Nowhere. Oh, and that’s on top of the whopper she told about the teleprompter breaking. And the tanning bed, but the taxpayers didn’t buy the bed–they only paid for the electrical re-wiring required to get the bed to work in the mansion. Plus the fact that she never fired the cook, merely reassigned her. And also billing the state for all the nights she slept in her bed. And did I neglect to mention that Monegan, the official she now says had a “rogue mentality”, he was so “off the reservation” that she offered him another job. Not to mention that the guy she got to replace Monegan left after two weeks with a nice $10K payoff, er, severance…while Monegan got NOTHING.
Now you have Carly Fiorina admitting that Palin wouldn’t be able to run Hewlett Packard. Guess Carly should know, cos she was FIRED from HP.
Please, if there is a God, let the gaffes keep coming!!!

PJ,
This is great!
In fact, you reminded me of a Ronald Reagan story:
“Reagan’s advisers remember that he incessantly told a specific story during this period:
There was a father with two boys—a pessimist and an optimist. The father placed the pessimist in a room full of new toys. He placed the optimist in a room with a pile of manure.
When he returned, the pessimist was crying and throwing a fit, complaining that he had no toys to play with. He went to the other room and found the optimist digging doggedly through the pile of manure.
When the father asked the optimist what he was doing, the boy replied: “I know there’s a pony in here somewhere!””
I’m an optimist–I always keep digging….
Thanks for stopping by, reading and taking the time to comment!

Then I am quite the optimist, because the more McCain and Palin speak, the more shitzola comes out of their mouth. Today I was in Seventh Heaven.

It has now come out that McCain uses the Internet all the time. He needs help with typing. It has also come out that the Obama campaign were aware of this when the ad came out, as was Obama personally from Senatorial exposure. I think that is all we need to know about Obama’s honor. He has none.

The ONLY way jobs will pick up again – is if we get back $2 a GALLON GAS & DIESEL to RESCUE the U.S. ECONOMY!
While many cherish a ‘free-marketplace’ with all these Govt. bailouts or ‘Welfare for Wall Street’ – why not ‘fix’ a marketplace that doesn’t have one ounce of competitive pricing, where ‘free marketplace’ conditions don’t exist – the price at the pumps!
McCain & Obama have BOTH missed the fact that $2 a gallon gas is the ONLY WAY to begin our economic recovery – as no one’s paycheck or revenues have doubled in the last year or so to meet the doubling of gas prices – that is NOW depleting revenues & disposable incomes – despite oil going below $100 a barrel.
In the short term – until a Citizens Oil Coop of Refineries/pumping Stations can start up – we may need 1971-era ‘Nixonian’ price-controlled gas & diesel prices of $2 a gallon as a starting solution for renewing disposable income & business revenues (except the Greedy Oil Companies) – as vital commodities like gasoline will need to be ‘protected’ from the greed of the biblical ‘money-changers’ (speculators & OPEC) – as we ‘revitalize’ our economy – by attacking what was one of the main culprits beside the sub-prime mess – RIP OFF Gas & Diesel prices at the pump!
Neither McCain or Obama seem to realize that $2 a gallon GAS PRICES are the beginning fix to problems the economy SOON will face unless a ‘Citizens Oil Coop’ drills for, refines, and markets $2 a gallon gas at Citizen Oil Coop gas stations as an alternative to the oligopoly that played such a large part in this economic mess we now have!
If something like a Citizens Oil Coop idea isn’t created SOON to head off what’s happening – the U.S. economy is headed for depths MUCH worse than the Great Depression if we don’t have $2 a gallon gas (or lower) NOW – as MORE & MORE ‘bail-outs’ will pop up – that the Govt. will FAIL to cover at some point SOON!
In the meantime – CNBC is quoting investor Wilbur Ross – who says 1000 banks will FAIL in the next few months!!!
