The Republican Party of Texas slams Barack Obama in an ad launched on Friday, before Joe Biden became the latest target of opportunity. After Obama’s attack on the number of houses owned by Cindy McCain (which never seemed to bother Democrats when Teresa Heinz Kerry owned them), the Texas GOP decided to cast this as an attack on the American dream and of a man who sacrificed plenty in his life before achieving it:
Barack Obama has viciously attacked John McCain and his family for being successful and living the American dream. This, even after McCain gave so much for his country.
Obama claims he’s looking out for our families in an economic downturn, but ask yourself this: If Obama cares so much about your family, why doesn’t he take care of his own family first?
Barack Obama lives in this house … wants to live in this house … while his own brother lives in this one.
On one hand, everyone has some relatives who don’t do as well, and not everyone can afford to support them. However, Obama started this attack on the financial status of family, and while he barely knows his half-brother, George Obama is still a pretty close relation — close enough to get a mention in Barack Obama’s memoirs. Plus, with his haughty condemnation of America as a place lacking the kind of charity mentioned in Matthew (and an incorrect diagnosis, too), the lack of basic charity shown by Obama towards his destitute brother makes him look like a hypocrite twice over.
If Obama wants to talk houses and class warfare, the Republican Party is ready to engage on that battleground, at least in Texas.
