CryBaby Obama: Bush and McCain are Trying to Make Voters 'Scared' of Me!
    #8702800 -

ABC News' Sunlen Miller Reports: While campaigning in a traditionally Republican district, Sen. Barack Obama attempted to beat back rumors about him– telling the Springfield, Missouri crowd that Republicans and Sen. McCain are trying to make voters “scared” of him because they don’t have another strategy.

“Nobody thinks that Bush or McCain have a real answer for the challenges we face. So what they are going to try to do is make you scared of me,”

Obama warned,

“You know he's not patriotic enough. He's got a funny name. You know, he doesn't look like all of those other presidents on the dollar bills.”

Obama said the only strategy McCain has is to paint him as a “risky” candidate.

“He's risky - that's the argument,” an exasperated Obama said, “Seriously, that's basically the argument. It's like, well we don't have very much to offer but he's risky.”

The presumptive democratic nominee said what is far riskier, in his mind, is doing the same thing over – again relating McCain with President Bush.

“The question you have to ask yourself is - what's more risky? Going ahead and bringing about changes that we know that we have to make, in order to ensure that our children have a better future. Or doing the same things over and over again even though we know they don't work,” Obama asked the crowd, “We are in a time right now where it is too risky not to change.”

Obama is campaigning with Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill throughout the day, who also attempted to push back against Republican talking points during her introduction.

“They say that he's arrogant. That he's unpatriotic. Blah blah blah,” McCaskill said, “I know this man. He is humble. He is devoutly Christian. He loves his family more than anything else in the world. He cares about families. He reveres our men and women in uniform. And he is as red, white and blue as you could possibly get.”

In addition to pushing back against criticisms and questions over risk value – a feisty Obama also came loaded for bear in his first town hall since his overseas trip – attacking McCain on taxes.

Obama jokingly claimed that Wild Bill Hickock, a famous old Western gunslinger, was a distant cousin of his so McCain should be on the alert.

“I'm ready to duel John McCain on taxes. Right now, right here. I'm a quick draw,” Obama quipped.

“They're going to say,  'He's a tax and spend liberal Democrat’,” Obama warned, “But it's the same ad over and over again. So let me be absolutely clear: If you are a family making less than $250,000 a year, you will not see your taxes go up.”

By comparison, Obama said that one quarter of McCain’s tax cuts would go to people making millions of dollars a year.

America's debt problem is a "sign of leadership failure"

We have "reckless fiscal policies"

America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership.

Americans deserve better

And why does this equate to Obama being a crybaby?

My advice is to find those things that give pleasure and do them often without too much attachment and relax and wait for the show to end.

I like free markets and all. Truly I do, at least in general, but there needs to be some kind of oversight in recognition of sustainability. Life works the same way, on a bunch of sustainable systems. Why not honor what made us what we are and take some lessons? Nature FTW!

I'm pretty sure he's calling McCain out on his shitty tax policy. Yep, after reading it again, I seem to come to the same conclusion.


And after reading that article again,I fail to see where he distinctly says that McCain is promoting those sentiments.

Just for some background, I hear from people all the time that he's muslim, that we don't want a "nigger" president, etc.

He may be referring to these people, who from my experience support the republicans, or at least just J-Mac.

And to refute your obvious response that he does say that McCain and Bush say these things:

Quote:
“Nobody thinks that Bush or McCain have a real answer for the challenges we face. So what they are going to try to do is make you scared of me,”



Prove that he isn't reffering to the people that don't argue policies, but argue non-issues or false sentiments such as the muslim thing, because they know McCain does indeed McFail.

Unfortunately the American electorate is probably too stupid to make it an EPIC McFail.

I remember his routine about bringing a gun to a knife fight, as if that was clever.  The problem is that the only thing the jerkoff can do with a gun is throw it.  I doubt he could even load one.
