It’s nothing new.

The Times reports Obama “voted ‘present’…nearly 130 times as a state senator.” On teaching discipline. Providing patients’ rights. Tough penalties on criminals.

He voted present.

The answers may seem obvious to you. But not to him.

Yet voting in favor of infanticide several times was no problem for this clown.

He is just saying, “I’am here and do not care.” He pushes the present key even when there is nothing to vote for. He uses the present excuse to let everyone know he’s special and deserves everything he whines for and ‘Present’ sounds more elitist.

For those on the fence regarding voting for Obombem, or his voting record, remember Yes requires an explanation while No is a complete sentence/statement. These concepts are so difficult for libs to understand, in Hawaii libs define a blank vote on an issue is a NO vote.

We demand that you immediately remove Mr. Garrett’s voice from this ad. As Mr. Garrett is a non-partisan news correspondent covering the Obama campaign for Fox News, it is highly inappopriate, among other things, of your campaign to use him in your ad.

So get a new voice over! This ad is worth playing till the end of the campaign, with his delay in announcing his ‘rescue plan’yet another example of his spineless behavior.

When Rudy Giuliani mocked Obama with his ‘present’ votes, I had thought this is something the McCain campaign should really hammer him with. But there were no ads until now. I hope McCain and Palin will bring this up again and again during the debates. There is only one reason to vote present and that is Obama was unsure how it would affect his record down the road or that it would not please his backers.

He must never be President. The only good thing that would probably happen if Obama becomes President is that Al-Qaeda will likely disband because the US in the way to self destruction.

One thing missing: After the announcer says (paraphrased) “It’s not obvious to him,” they should have cut to Obama at Saddleback saying “That’s above my pay grade.”

Biden also used the “above my pay grade” response earlier this month. I’d put both Obama and Biden saying “above my pay grade” along with Harry Reid stating nobody knows what to do next together in a spot tied to leadership and strenght in a crisis. This is a perfect opportunity for it.

McCain ad: “Nothing New”

For those lefties that wish to have tips on how to promote Barack Obama when you get in their faces:

I like this one: You can put a donkey in a $4,000 suit, but it’s still an ass.

(I’d give credit, but I forgot who said it).

What a d*ck.

1. Three (3) crushingly, devastating ads; AND

2. This morning’s WaPO editorial

a. Praising McCain for calling attention to the grave risks being posed by Fannie/Freddie’s ongoing highly questionable business practices (back in 2005)

b. Praising McCain for introducing new legislation to properly regulate these run-away, ticking time-bombs (back in 2005) ; and

c. Oh yeah, Pretty much calling Obama a fu**ing liar

A message I’ve been hoping they’d hit hard, but it just rattled on – no drama, no punch.

The undecided need those “Coulda-had-a-V8!” forehead slaps.

Its 3 a.m. in the morning. Is he present?

Then there’s the OTHER Kurtz–Stanley Kurtz, digging into the Annenberg files. There might be some juicy red meat in there…

By the way, is ctmom from Connecticut?

I expect alot more ammunition will be available after the debates.

ctmom on September 19, 2008 at 11:39 AM

These just set the table for the debates. Isn’t the first one next week? McCain is prepping the battlefield so that these can be talked about live.

Imagine being asked about these guys, and Obama going “um uh um uh present.”

IF you don’t STAND for SOMETHING, you will fall for ANYTHING and that is why we WILL NOT vote for YOU.

And quit throwing that RACISM bullshit at us. You can’t handle the job

…the embarrassment led him to pick Joe Biden to make up for his embarrassing debut on the foreign-policy stage.

Maybe we can make an exception and allow The One to have a second VP to advise him on economic issues. In fact, it could be like a bank: VPs everywhere! I still bet Hillary would not be one of them.
