Media Comments On Obama's Negativity

Senator Barack Obama sharpened his tone against Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on Sunday as the six-week Pennsylvania primary contest raced to a close, with the rivals marshaling extensive resources in a battle for undecided vote.

In television commercials and in appearances before crowded rallies, Mr. Obama, of Illinois, cast his opponent in one of the most negative lights of the entire 16-month campaign, calling her a compromised Washington insider. Mrs. Clinton, of New York, responded by suggesting that Mr. Obama’s message of hope had given way to old-style politics and asked Democrats to take a harder look at him.

But wait! Did not Bill Clinton tell him to suit up or stay on the bench? Did not Hillary tell him to stand the heat or get out of kitchen? But when he takes their advice he is negative. Clinton is looking more and more desperate. She attacks and then does not want attacks in return. Seems she is the one in the fantasy world.

I have covered the whining thingy...so read that and enjoy.

But wait yet again! Now TV pundits are jumping on this and his negative campaign, but say little that Clinton brought it onto herself. They make a big deal of of the latest tracking poll and how He is only a few pts ahead of her, but yet when he was 11 pts ahead it was not worth more than a mention.

Tell me again...how is the media unbiased? It is the silly season!

This crap is making the rounds on YouTube. It is just f*cking silly.

Still Bitching

It is 4 or 5 days since Clinton ran her now infamous 3 a.m. phone call ad and we are still talking and bitching about it. The media is playing it for all it is worth it makes good copy. But the real story here is that it is gonna be used again when it is needed.

She lauds her experience over an over and over, it was not working, but once the idea of "fear" is injected into it and then it plays like the star spangled banner.

Clinton keeps saying that she has the experience to make the hard decisions in an emergency. First, what experience did she earn from being first lady? I mean a sudden change in menu is not that same of an emergency. I mean voting for a war without all the info is definitely not what is needed in the White House. So what experience does she have handling that type of emergency?

Now if Obama's people were sharper they would have him in an ad up to the point where she answers the phone then freezer frame and then.......say the Obama was doing what ANY prudent president would do. He calls his advisers, gets opinions and then makes the decision on what action to take.

The final line should be....A good president gets all the info before he makes his decision. A bad president makes a snap decision before considering the consequences. You know like Iraq, the early years.

He Is Gone--But will He Be Forgotten

Last night was a sad occasion indeed. First, John McCain finally got enough delegates to have this coronation as the Repub nominee. It is now official! It is a shame that the man of principles and independence, is selling all that out just so he can be the flagship of the Repub party.

Next! The Huck-ster is gone! ans with him will go his background at speeches, Chuck Norris. A sad, sad day! No more fried squirrel stories. No more humor on the stump. No more bass playing on the campaign trail. No more Huckabee to kick around.

I guess he decided that he would never catch Romney in delegate count and it was time to let McCain have his days in the sun. Now the GOP can concentrate on the Dems and their message. This should give them plenty of time to formulate a plan to campaign against whoever the Dem nominee is for this Fall.

I can smell the dirty, sleazy campaign ads as we speak. If you are interested in the Fall election i would suggest that you keep a bottle of Febreze next to the TV.

The "Political" Ad

May I see a show hands of the people that recall the "Daisy" ad of the 1964 presidential general election? (Pause for effect) No one , now why does that not surprise me?

Back in 1964 Johnson ran an ad with a small girl and a daisy and the count down to a mushroom cloud. Suggesting that it we elected Goldwater we would be chancing nuclear war. Pretty good ad and scared the be-jesus out of the voter. Fear, a powerful motivator.

This political cycle Clinton has run her version of the "Daisy" ad. This one, I am sure that most people are aware of, thanks to the MSM. Hers has the "red" ringing to indicate a emergency. And then it goes into her experience and who you would want to answer the phone. Fear? I do not think so this time. She keeps trying to force the voter into voting for her because she has experience. But it has not worked in 11 straight contest. Will it work this time? So I guess one could make a case for it being a possible fear card ad.

But no one sees it the way I do. The phone rings five times and then goes to voice mail. Does nayone besides me see a hole in this? Ok times up! If she is so damn experienced should it not be answered promptly and not have to go to voice mail? It maybe just me. But that does not say "experience" to me. But then I am capable of observing beyond the BS that most people fall for.
