Sayeth the Obamessiah

In Elko, Obama tried to anticipate his critics and called on the crowd of about 1,500 to sharpen their elbows, too.

“I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face,” he said.

“And if they tell you that, ‘Well, we’re not sure where he stands on guns.’ I want you to say, ‘He believes in the Second Amendment.’ If they tell you, ‘Well, he’s going to raise your taxes,’ you say, ‘No, he’s not, he’s going lower them.’ You are my ambassadors. You guys are the ones who can make the case.”

…is it still a lying Marxist hack with questionable associates?

Is he stupid enough to intentionally call Palin a pig? No. Is he stupid enough to accidentally call Palin a pig? Of course.

How long now?

Biden had surgery twice for aneurysms in 1988. What are the chances that a “routine” CT scan turns something up within the next two weeks, opening the door for Hillary?

Would Hillary go along with it or is she just waiting for Hopey to completely fuck it up so she can run in 2012?

Or is it a caribou?

Apparently it is neither. It is the Shrieking Bundler. I think they are soon to be on the Endangered List.

Governor Palin-

“Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We’re proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents,” Sarah and Todd Palin said in the brief statement.

Hopey-

“When it comes specifically to HIV/AIDS, the most important prevention is education, which should include — which should include abstinence education and teaching the children — teaching children, you know, that sex is not something casual. But it should also include — it should also include other, you know, information about contraception because, look, I’ve got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t want them punished with an STD at the age of 16. You know, so it doesn’t make sense to not give them information.”

Democratic U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler, a Florida co-chairman of Barack Obama’s campaign, said choosing Palin showed poor judgment by McCain.

“John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin is clearly a political ploy aimed at capturing the votes of women who formerly supported Senator Hillary Clinton,” Wexler said. “But the fact is Sarah Palin is a far right, pro-life zealot who can not hold a candle to Hillary Clinton’s lifelong fight to better the lives of women everywhere. Americans should be alarmed that the former mayor of a town of 9,000 people with zero foreign policy credentials could be a heartbeat away from assuming the role of Commander in Chief.”

Again…not the best way to win Bitter-Clingy land.

They are going to find it tougher and tougher to attack the pro-life angle with out looking like the complete assholes that they are.
