Obama’s Non-Response
April 11th, 2008 at 09:53pm KMorrison
Senator Obama is excellent at avoiding a topic by speaking in general terms when the issue is specific. His response to his statements about small town PA completely ignores the fact that his comments were belittling people’s lifestyle, beliefs, and faith. His statement, “they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations” flies in the face of his rhetoric about unifying the country. At some point he’ll have to explain himself instead of trying to deflect criticism to his opponents.

The response from the McCain campaign team:
“Instead of apologizing to small town Americans for dismissing their values, Barack Obama arrogantly tried to spin his way out of his outrageous San Francisco remarks. Only an elitist who attributes religious faith and gun ownership to bitterness would think that tax cuts for the rich include families who make $75,000 per year. Only an elitist would say that people vote their values only out of frustration. Barack Obama thinks he knows your hopes and fears better than you do. You can’t be more out of touch than that.” –Tucker Bounds, Spokesman John McCain 2008
Excellent.

I believe that Obama is speechless, due to the fact that the Clintons have managed to dig up enough dirt against the Obama campaign to close the door on his nomination for the presidency in 2008. Bill and Hillary will be trying the same tactics against Senator McCain once she becomes the democratic contender. The Clintons will do all they can again against Senator McCain to dig up as much dirt as they can without being noticed.
