McCain ad: “Tiny”

Team McCain hits Barack Obama again on foreign policy in their latest 30-second spot. “Tiny” focuses on Obama’s stumble earlier this year on Iran, scoffing at the notion that it presented any danger to the US. Within 24 hours, though, Obama had to reverse himself after getting hammered by Hillary Clinton and John McCain:
Small wonder Nicolas Sarkozy considers Obama naive and dangerous. Team McCain hopes that Florida voters will come to the same conclusion after watching this ad. They should consider running this in Pennsylvania and Ohio as well.

It will be so good to have Darth Barry back in the Senate – Lord knows his “present” vote has been sorely missed.

This ad is weeks old.
Bill Brasky on October 28, 2008 at 4:06 PM
If strong presidents talk to their adversaries – then Obama (if elected, God forbid) will have to be completely silent!
Dang, how will he and Biden be able to pull that off…?

McCaskill just released a statement that he was talking about the middle class tax cuts.

Ah, I thought it was about the amount of change left in our pockets after Dear Leader Obamassiah gets through with his economic policies.

I thought mccain was the dove on iran, didnt he say that he’d be open to negotiating iranian enrichment under tight restrictions…while obama said no, never?

Won’t be needed anyway – the two senators are returning to the Senate. Hopefully, not for long.

and here is where Obama is in sync with the Paultards, he actually used their rhetoric on this(tiny), atleast I think paul said this first. Of course they both read the same marxist view stuff on American foreign policy

The actual gap has since been closed. McCain is actually leading, although none of the polls will actually show this. All the more reason for anticipating a truly enjoyable election eve.
ManlyRash on October 28, 2008 at 4:31 PM
This Khalidi tape, the 2001 interview, polls creeping closer, Obama and Biden getting income threshholds for tax cuts garbled, Biden buckling twice in recent interviews. I feel as if I’m watching McCain and Palin storming back from 20 down with a minute to play, full-court press, and Obama and Biden unable to get the ball past midcourt without turning it over.
Obama needs a timeout for his infomercial. Time for Jeremiah Wright to come off the bench?
BuckeyeSam on October 28, 2008 at 4:31 PM
I keep telling folks that I doubt that Darth Barry is anything more infamous than a puppet or simply a frightening socialist, but I do have to wonder if he is a rehearsal for something a bit more sinister.
(AP has politely asked us to refrain from more specific speculation…)

Funny he mentioned Kennedy and Krushchev. Didn’t Krushchev own the dangerously unprepared Kennedy:
WHen one compares the political histories of John F. Kennedy and Barack Obama, one is struck by how long the seemingly young Kennedy held federal elective office before seeking the Presidency, and how short a time Barack Obama held office before his seeking of that same high office.
If by fate we see the Iranian measure of Barack Obama, we almost certainly will not like it.
unclesmrgol on October 28, 2008 at 4:43 PM
P.S..In the second video obama fails to see the “serious” harm/threat Iran could unleash on Israel!

Oh, he’s in it. Definitely a socialist dyed and tagged. He’s just not running things. I’ve seen a lot of talk about how intelligent he is. I don’t see. He’s cunning and smooth but I don’t see the intelligence.
Oldnuke on October 28, 2008 at 4:48 PM
That’s actually far lower than is the rule and from what I gather, he’s continuing to hemorrhage Jewish voters. Problem is, the Jewish community in the US, especially those who are older, views itself as progressive and hence they invariably vote Democrat. They’re still fixated on the legacy of FDR and Truman.
Matt Helm on October 28, 2008 at 4:50 PM
Obama-sama is like a trained wolf. It has natural wit and cunning, and can be taught some tasks, but it isn’t suprisingly intelligent on its own and when instinct takes over there’s not much you can do but tug on the leash until it backs down.
*eats*
Grue in the Attic on October 28, 2008 at 4:54 PM
Thanks. Appreciate the input.
Now I can get back to the “Sarah is hot” posts! :-)
Speaking of which, I saw a tape on Greta months ago where they interviewed Sarah after The First Dude won his snow machine race. She was about 30 then. OMG. Her face was flush from the cold and… yikes.
Mr_Magoo on October 28, 2008 at 4:57 PM
For a writer I spell perfectly (except when I commit typographical misdemeanors) only because I am a consummate wordsmith.
“GAWD” is an intentional literation of a colloquial expression that encompasses a perfectly balanced combination of reverence, admiration, astonishment and pure, feral, lust.
Consider yourself chastised and educated.
ManlyRash on October 28, 2008 at 4:57 PM
Rush made the same point last week. He thought so too at first but came to realize that O’s radical idealogy was developed first and then he went to Chicago to seek out like minds.

BOILINGsmoking, smoldering, spontaneous-combustion HOT….woot.Fixed it. Boiling is bland.
ManlyRash on October 28, 2008 at 4:59 PM
Dennis Pragar spells it out in his book “Think a Second Time”. Basically it is so entrenched in the culture, that to vote anything but democrat is all but unthinkable. Often you would have to give up your family. He explains it from his Jewish point of view. He is disheartened because the conservatives values so much mirror the Jewish values…but the are faithful to a fault to the democrat party.
I don’t get it, but then I am Irish…
right2bright on October 28, 2008 at 5:01 PM
And its when that instinct takes over that you see just how dangerous he is. This is why you’re not seeing too much of him outside of carefully choreographed and controlled venues. His buttons need to get pushed one or two more times…

So what you’re saying is by using GAWD you get to enjoy the feral lust without experience the guilt?

That’s what confused me. Thanks.
Mr_Magoo on October 28, 2008 at 5:03 PM
A lot of people are making the mistake of assuming that Obama is the puppet and not the puppet-master. I hate to invoke Godwin here, but von Papen and the Weimar right made that same mistake regarding Adolf Hitler. Obama is very much his own man and he does have a plan and we’re not going to like it.
Matt Helm on October 28, 2008 at 5:04 PM
Exactly. The teleprompter is his leash. His staff is his collar. The Media is his trainer. He goes nowhere without all three, if he can help it, because to do otherwise provokes Panic Mode.
At worst, I’m sure we’ll see pure unbridled Obama-sama after his defeat next week.

I’d have to agree with grue on this, when I was racing cars 200 mph tape (aka duct tape) came in real handy!
Liberty or Death on October 28, 2008 at 5:13 PM
Be careful not to underestimate Obama. He is a wolf–but he’s not a stupid wolf. He’s the alpha in that group, make no mistake about that. But, as you pointed out, like any other wolf, if the right buttons are pushed, instinct takes over and you see the inner wolf come out.
Matt Helm on October 28, 2008 at 5:14 PM
Duct tape, WD-40, and Barbed Wire will fix anything.

Ball bearings?
Yeah, everything runs on ball bearings these days.

It’s astonishing to listen to Obambi the Nitwit wax poetic about John Kennedy’s great vision in sitting down with Krushchev, after reading about how Krushchev beat the shit out of Kennedy in Vienna. (h/t Ed)
He is dangerously stupid and deceptive, like Kennedy.
Jaibones on October 28, 2008 at 5:55 PM
I am starting to believe that this is why the flat-chested Ivy League girls despise her so much. I didn’t believe it at first, but it’s getting really obvious.
They have spent their lives dismissing attractive women as bimbos, but that doesn’t work with Palin. She’s married, has five kids, a hunk husband who wins snowmobile races in the Arctic (wtf?!), a Downs Syndrome child, she’s a Governor and her constituents seem quite fond of her.
We can’t imagine the hate.
Jaibones on October 28, 2008 at 6:00 PM
Quite. Something tells me that even if he loses, this won’t be the last we see of Barack Obama. He likely won’t run for President again, but I don’t see him sitting back with Algor, Slick Willie, and Lurch – I mean John Kerry Who Served in VietNam – and just offering running commentary.
