BO Blog: Obama Has McCain Right Where He Wants Him Now!

Someone needs to tell Adam McKay at HuffPo to chill out. Either that or Jeff Alworth at BlueOregon takes whistling in the dark to the level of a hurricane coming ashore at night in his post.

There's only one thing Obama's slide in the polls means:

The just-released Gallup poll shows that John McCain has opened up a real lead on Barack Obama and cracked 50% for the first time in the election.  Thanks to the surprise selection of Sarah Palin, the GOP base finally seems united and energized, and we're a little less than two months from the election. 

I have no doubt that the Obama camp feels they've got McCain right where they want him.

Jeff Alworth argues that experience is off the table, it's now a change election because of Palin, and Obama has set the stage to kick butt on issues, just as he always planned.

For the next two months, Obama can demand to compare proposals for change in terms of the issues America cares about: health care, the economy, foreign policy, and the environment.  On issue after issue, Obama has the popular solution.  Why else would "drill, baby, drill" have become the mantra in St. Paul?  It's the only issue the GOP have a lead on.

Yeah, we all know how well socialized medicine, higher taxes, a weak military and over-protecting certain resources to the disgruntlement of the American consumer play at election time.

I have to hand it to Alworth, he appears to be just as brilliant as the "O" man himself - without a teleprompter, that is.

I love the picture of that Jeff character from Dan's link. His cute little beard is right out of a loser moonbat fashion magazine.

This troll thinks that Barry's falling behind in the polls is actually a good thing. Got him right where he wants him.

Funny I was thinking the same thing!

With thinking like this it's no wonder that the god king Xerxes is fading faster than San Fran Nans last Botox injection!

SacTownMan, where are our liberals? I'll call them.

Here..little liberal, here..little liberal, come here, little liberals. Where are you? Can't find 'em, Sac.

This should get them. Sooie, pig, sooie..sooie..sooie! Pig..pig..sooie..sooie!

They will all come running, now, Sac. Pork gets those liberals every time!

[SacTownMan]

Hey Brother Knight just mention that there will be some free Arugula and that there will be a President Bush effigy burning, that might work! Maybe Barry could whip up another of those free rock concert/Temple of Doom speech things. It worked great in Germany and Denver.

Careful what you wish for, there are millions of those brainless, undead out there and they will be back just as sure as flies on shit!

[JustOneMan]

What did Sadam Hussien say right before they pulled him out of his rat hole?

"I have George Bush right where I want him!"

"Yeah, we all know how well socialized medicine"

Did you just choose to out and out lie or are you that stupid?

No one. No one, is proposing socialized medicine.

You have sunk to a new low.

Considering that Obambo is spending quite a bit of effort trying to compare himself favorably with Palin, "having McCain right where he wants him" must mean Obimby wants McCain in the White House.

Oblambo has been reduced to trying to gain street cred by saying he once thought about joining the military and his POTUS campaigning is executive experience enough for the office.

The purest comedic gold.

"No one, is proposing socialized medicine"

So what term are liberals, I mean "progressives", using this month? Single-payer? Hillary-care?

[Drider]

Obama, you magnificent bastard, you have McCain right where we want him too!!!

[jharp]

I suggest you visit the websites of Senator Obama and of Senator McCain and take a good look at what each one is proposing.

I know that's a tough one for right wingers. Actually reading and evaluating an issue.

[Backhanding jharp]

Already did, Jharp.

Obama is lying through his ass, while McCain is not.

Can't wait to see Obama fail in November.

[Obamessiah™]

---I know that's a tough one for right wingers. Actually reading and evaluating an issue.---

Odd thing, that Obama website, it doesn't seem to jive (yes I said jive) very well with what he says on the stump.

Today he proposes that perhaps he wouldn't hike taxes on the wealthy if a recession were happening (not even close and why NOT tax the wealthy if tax hikes are good for the economy).

The Super Genius Savior of Mankind™ also criticized Palin for supposedly accepting earmarks.
.

.
I know, I couldn't stop laughing either; Mr. 740 million bucks in pork is getting pissy about someone else doing the same thing. Problem for the Messiah Dolt™ is that he can't mention McCain in that criticism because McCain doesn't do earmarks.

So yet again the DFL has their top ticket whining about the GOP bottom ticket. What a fookin' genius.

[Drider]

Jharp sir, why would I go to Obama's website to read anything that he is proposing, he keeps changing his plans.

What was it yesterday he said he wouldn't tax the rich for the billions in which to fund his economic plan.
He finally agreed that McCain was right and that further taxing of citizens in a slow economy would only make things worse.
So one of two things need to happen, he reworks his plan on the economy from the ground up or simply do what far left wingers do...Continue to BS the people and stick it to the little guy for the funds being they obviously don't have the brain power to know they are getting screwed....hhmmm....which tactic sounds like what an elitist lefty go for, I guess the American public is deciding that right now as we speak.

[seekeronos]

Hope and Change = "Business as usual".

And in 2008, yet another pile of steaming, previously owned food hits the ground as both parties' candidates snowball and stonewall the "common rabble" on lowering this tax and raising (maybe) that tax.

[MarkJ]

So Obama thinks he's got McCain right where he wants him? Time to replay that famous Monty Python clip:

If you gents would like to debate how we as Americans can lower the cost from the most expensive in the world by double please feel free to make an intelligent comment.

Otherwise I'll stick with my original post.

"No one. No one, is proposing socialized medicine.

Blue Oregon dude thinks this lead will chill out over the next week and then Bambi will have the upper hand. I wanted to post something about OODA but why waste good advice. Right now we are moving into a new target rich environment with Earmarks, Freddie and Fannie, sweet heart mortgages and loans, and finally Rezko/Ayres. The problem with the McCain Campaign right now is selecting the targets and producing the hits to move Bambi ever further from the center.

Now Obambisco has to worry about meeting his fundraising goals.

Uh oh....is he going to cry foul and claim McCain forced him to forgo public financing and now he wants a second chance?

I've seen freshly caught crappies that don't twist and wiggle as much as Obopo.

[Drider]

Once again, to debate "anything" on Obamas plans for the country is to give credence to Obama that he does not deserve.
He is a stark party line candidate of not the Democrats, but the "far left" Democrats.
To scream about how his plan is not socialized medicine and believe it, one would have to literally ignore Obama's past as a whole.
It all boils down to Obama, he is the poster child of buissness as usual in Washington and the people want change....from that of what he "is".

[seekeronos]

What the Kos-tards and other socialists do not realize that when/if Obie gets elected, he will be more or less restricted to governing from the "centre-left" of mainstream Democrats, if he wants a chance of being re-elected in the next cycle.

Term limits can be a thing of beauty, in that they tend to restrict a politician from getting to carried away in trying to make his legacy.

It is also a two-way street, and shows us why McCain will tend to structure his policies from the centre (if not slightly centre-left) of the GOP mainstream.

[WAHOO WILLIE]

My theory on polls has always been that they can be too easily manipulated to reflect the opinions of poll takers. Therefore I've never put any stock in them as a real indicator of anything and so my thoughts on McCain's "bump". They do tell us that this will be a very close election if nothing else. Now using the theory that pollsters skew results and usually do so to the left, wonder what Macs *REAL* poll numbers would be?

Seek is correct, I assume Obie is going to win, the dems are the party of the rich and hateful so they have no problem throwing money at a candidate. Once he wins though the dems will put a halter on him, telling him to go slow into the socialist light lest a voter revolution swecond only to secession occur.

[Fred Beloit]

Now I've got you wright where I want you, Obamessiah. You didn't type your comments with a Selectric(TM) typewriter. Hah. The Selectric doesn't offer that little, raised TM as illustrated here: "Messiah Dolt™ "

[anon]

If Obama wins I predict he will be Jimmy Carter II in terms of getting nothing accomplished and creating a huge backlash, as long as Republicans attack him on his positions and not the personal smears that occured during the Clinton years. He will also be a one term president.

There is a long shot that he is what he presents himself as...above it all centrist who wants to find a third way out of polarization. A real long shot, though. On the level of the Patriots going to the superbowl without Tom Brady.

The truth is, if the Democrats had nominated a centrist, someone that actually had some conservative views, actually had a history of bipartisanship, actually had shown a penchant for fiscal responsibility they would be up by 20 points. Instead, they nominated not the black JFK, but the black George McGovern. It remains to be seen whether Bush's disastrous presidency will get him elected or not.
