Obama - The Insensitive Wordsmith

In today's news, Howling Latina came across an interesting article about McCain decrying Barry's mean-spirited word usage.

Equal to the time when Obama arrogantly dismissed Hillary's sharp attacks on his shameless unity schtick as simply Hillary doing what she periodically does when there is a full moon, claws out like a she-wolf with no sense of temperance, Obama's threw a rhetorical bomb again. This time it was McCain's turn to feel the hope and unity.

ABC reports that McCain's campaign ain't too happy with the little "insulting dig at Sen. John McCain's age" Obama made during one of his "reach-across-the-aisle-and-rally-the country" interview.

In an interview on CNN, Obama accused McCain of trying to "smear" him by saying that the Palestinian militant group Hamas favored his candidacy.

"And so for him to toss out comments like that I think is an example of him losing his
bearings as he pursues this nomination," Obama said.

The McCain campaign said the "losing his bearings" comment was an underhanded reference to the fact that McCain is 71 years old.

Mark Salter, one of the advisers, said, "Obama's attack today: He used the words 'losing his bearings' intentionally, a not particularly clever way of raising John McCain's age as an issue. This is typical of the Obama style of campaigning." "That quote is a not-so-subtle attempt by Obama to insinuate the age issue into the race," another McCain adviser said. " He attacks viciously with subtlety and innuendo. Nobody suggested he supports Hamas. We have said the North American spokesman (for Hamas) has talked about how wonderful it would be if he were president of the United States."

Are we starting to see a pattern here??? Attack your opponent in ambigious doublespeak. Claim total innocence. Keep attacking and ducking. Bully supporters of opponents; force them to quit; clear the field. Claim your crown.

Yep, that's Barry. Like George Bush, he just can't help uniting folks even if it kills your opponent. Don't worry, you can always claim they had it coming for not quitting.
