Obama's Bold Move
October 11, 2008 10:30 AM
ABC News' John Berman, Sunlen Miller, and Ursula Fahy report: Barack Obama has staked out a brave, perhaps even risky position on a subject dear to the hearts of millions of voters in key swing states. It isn't taxes, or health care, or entitlements this time. No, Obama has a taken a stance on the baseball playoffs.
Standing in Philadelphia, in front of thousands of residents of Philadelphia, he went out on a limb. "I am a White Sox fan," he said, "but since the White Sox are out of it, I'll root for the Phillies now." So there you have it, Obama is now pulling for the Phillies. Write it in stone. Hold him to it. Sure, there is a lot to like in the Phillies. Lefty Jamie Moyer, for instance, pitching into his late 40's, is defying the limits of age (take notice John McCain). The Phillies have nice uniforms and a nice stadium too. There is a lot to like, but is that really what Obama likes? Could it be that the Phillies are from Philadelphia which is in Pennsylvania, which is a battleground state? And does it help that they are playing the Dodgers from Los Angeles which is in California, which is a safe Democratic state? Who really needs the Dodgers anyway?
Will Obama stick to this position when he campaigns in Florida? After all, the Tampa Bay Rays are in the playoffs, and are located smack in the middle of key swing territory in the Sunshine State. Will Obama be brave enough to tell Rays fans (all 6 of them) that he is rooting for the Phillies? Or will he try to claim dual allegiance to a National League Team (the Phillies) and an American League team (the Rays)? And if he does that, what about the millions of truly moral, excellent, and just fans of the Boston Red Sox? Massachusetts is no swing state, but Red Sox Nation knows no borders, and there are thousands of rabid fans in New Hampshire, a key battleground state.
Has Obama boxed himself into a corner? Or will this be just another case of a politician saying one thing and doing another? No wonder so many people are cynical about politics.

Obama is presidential!
McCain erratic. wanna know why?
Formula to there economic & foreign policy plans ( 3Cs )
Meaning, for Obama,
1. Consultation
2. Consolidation
3. Confrontation.
McCain.
1. Confrontation
2. Consolidation
3. Consultation
The difference is that Obama approach leads to "confidence" and "leadership", while McCain's lead to "confusion" and being "erratic"
My theory of leadership entails that before you take action i.e on economy, you consult with your advisers before coming out to make any statement, this also applies to consulting your allies before going to war.
But, he will do otherwise and at the long run he becomes confused. If you take a closer look, McCain is yet to get a stable slogan for his campaign.
First, it was "experience"
Secondly, it becomes "ready to lead"
thirdly, "Country first"
and now, "Change is coming"
McCain need to take a nap, period!

If I were Obama, I'll do the same by supporting the Phillies, Pen has gone to the DNC candidates in the past two presidetial contests, Florida has not. And the electoral map of today shows that Obama can win without Florida if he wins Pen and MI where he now has substantial lead.

Creators Syndicate
Copyright 2008
Republicans don’t need to dress up for Halloween this year. They’re scaring the pants off Barack Obama’s followers by their mere presence. Anything they say, wear, or do provokes instant cries of “RAAAAACISM!” Wink, blink, or think critical thoughts about Obama? You’re a bigot!
How many racial bogeyman have Obama operatives and sympathetic journalists discovered lurking in “coded language” and attire? Let us count the ways:
*At Tuesday’s presidential debate, John McCain referred to Obama as “that one.” Official Obama press agitator Bill Burton sent off an e-mail blast to reporters: “Did John McCain just refer to Obama as ‘that one’?” Horrors. Taking their cue from Burton, spooked Obama supporters hyperventilated like teenagers on the set of the Blair Witch Project movie. “The racial undertones were subtle but unmistakable,” declared Maya Wiley of the leftist Center for Social Inclusion. “McCain was tapping into a current of superiority among white voters. It was an attempt to ‘otherize’ Obama.”
“Otherize?” Sounds like something you do to your car tires to prepare for winter.
UC Berkeley linguistics prof George Lakoff was also haunted by “That One:” “The phrase was meant to say, ‘You and I are in the same area, but he’s the outsider.’”
Memo to McCain: Next time, call him “The One.”
*Obama supporters on the heavily-traffic Democratic Underground website (where such mainstream Democrats as Elizabeth Edwards hang out) saw the ghost of the Ku Klux Klan in Sarah Palin’s white suit jacket. Yes, white clothes = racism.
“Palin is wearing white again, inciting the racist crowds. She should just drop all pretense and put on her white hood and light up a cross. She is a despicable human being,” fumed a DU poster. “Grand Princess of the KKK,” proclaimed another. They’re “trying to send subtle signals to their rabid base,” yet another member of Obama’s rabid base declared.
My racial decoder ring must be on the fritz. Because I’m not getting the signal. If she wears white stockings, drinks a vanilla milk shake, and refers to budgetary black holes, are those incitements, too? And what about her gorgeous white teeth? Perhaps she should drink more coffee — hold the white cream! — to avoid emitting further racial radiation.
*Such paranoia is not limited to the fever swamps of the Internet. Earlier this week, the Associated Press disseminated an “analysis” accusing Palin of injecting a “racial tinge” into the campaign because she criticized Obama for his longtime relationship with Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers. Palin’s comments were completely unobjectionable: “This is not a man who sees America like you and I see America.”
I saw a vice presidential candidate drawing stark philosophical differences between two tickets. The AP saw Freddy Krueger with lipstick and a noose.
“Whether intended or not by the McCain campaign, portraying Obama as ‘not like us’ is another potential appeal to racism. It suggests that the Hawaiian-born Christian is, at heart, un-American,” the AP piece frothed.
Obama is half-black. Ayers is white. One of the Weather Underground’s victims was black police officer Waverly Brown of Nyack, New York. Where do I buy a pair of the super X-ray glasses that can detect the racism in Palin’s remarks about the Obama-Ayers alliance?
*I’ll have to borrow those hysterical-colored spectacles from Time’s Karen Tumulty, who spotted racist goblins in the recent McCain ad criticizing Obama for seeking advice from Fannie Mae corruptocrat, Franklin Raines. “Sinister images of two black men, followed by one of a vulnerable-looking elderly white woman,” Tumulty balked in a blog post titled “McCain plays the race card.”
Um, “sinister?” The ad’s photos of Obama and Raines were standard shots — some with dour expressions, others smiling. The fact that Tumulty perceived them as “sinister” suggests that she should perform a self-racism exam before diagnosing anyone else.
*A parade of Congressional witch hunters for Obama also detects the specter of George Wallace behind every policy bush. Democrat New York Gov. David Paterson says conservative criticism of Obama’s community organizing days is code for “black.” Democrat Rep. Gregory Meeks complained to the New York Observer: “They are trying to throw out these codes.” In the same piece, Democrat Rep. Yvette Clark divined segregationist intent in Palin’s references to Joe Six Pack and hockey moms. “It leaves a lot of people out.”
And Democrat Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid echoed Time’s Tumulty on the McCain camp’s Obama/Raines broadsides: “The only connection that people could bring up about Raines and Barack Obama is that they both are African-American, other than that there is nothing.”
The Washington Post reported that Obama’s office phoned up Raines for housing advice and has stood by its reporting. Is the newspaper part of the McCain/Palin hooded racists’ coven, too?
Obama’s witch hunters better beware. When there’s racism in every hiccup, nobody’s air supply is safe.

There is only minor flaw in Michelle Malkin comments. Democrats are winning and it's the republicans who are running scared. Look at them. They even admit they are scared.
Obama is going to be president and they isn't a thing your racist butt can do about it. (refer to your comments in the other blog)

If this is the best you republicans can do, Obama has it in the bag.

Michelle Makin is such a bigot to put her artile here just proves some people just will never give Obama a fair shake. So keep going to these rallies and take the mic from McCain and say Barack is an Arab we will see how much indepedants will agree with you.

Reading the headlines of your blogs this morning I see words associated with Barack such as Brave.....Palin, unethical, unlawful...ect. It's the same stunt you pulled when Hillary was running.
ABC is a disgrace.

This is only NEWS because Obama said it - everybody get your rings in your noses ready to hook up to the Obama chain - and NO that's not RACIST - it's referring to being CATTLE. PS - I am a minority - and I would certainly vote for Kirby Puckett for president if he were still with us - for an outfielder, he had great aim.
Posted by: hummingbird | Oct 11, 2008 12:13:55 PM
If Obama went to each city who still has a team in the playoffs and said, "I'm rooting for your team!" Who would care?
McCain would still try to use it in an ad I bet.
McCain will do anything at this point.

You have got to be kidding right?....Is this the best you could come up with as far as President Obama painting himself into a corner?.......UNBELEIVABLE....

Posted by: BUZZARD'S KORNER | Oct 11, 2008 12:23:23 PM
I'm surprised that McCain has not tried to link Obama to the 1919 World Series scandal due to Obama admitting he's a White Sox fan.
I wouldn't put it past McCain to try that, he's sunk so low.

Obama doesn't need Florida. He needs Pennsylvania.

That's a good point. The White Sox did something bad a few decades ago, and Obama supports them today. That would be a clear case of guilt-by-association, as the Republicans see it.
Posted by: jock59801 | Oct 11, 2008 12:38:18 PM
just because someone is for mccain doesn't mean they deslike obama. everyone knows obama is very pleasent and knowledgeable. i just don't think the whole country is ready for obama YET, but have faith he will be president some day when the world is safer and people will then be very ready for him. if obama wins the country may still be devided, but if he hold on just a little longer/ 4 more years example he would be the best and i have no doubt's about that, just not sure right now is his time. if indeed he gets elected i wish him the best. mccain now has the experience and would be given 4 years to fix the problems, obama would get more experience and acceptance by all and than we would have to fear so much when it did happen as we would be used to him by then. obama could still play a huge role as ambassador, or take rice's job. he would be interacting with world leaders and wow, he then would be amazing, but right now, i'm just not ready to support obama, but would love to see him as president in near future.

Posted by: George Steph of ABC Loves Obama | Oct 11, 2008 12:46:27 PM
i don't think it's clever to say obama is ahead in polls as many people don't have internet access and many others just don't participate until the day to vote. if obama loses after all this nonsense about polls the country will question voter fraud, etc, etc, and this is dangerous, i think. let the people decide when it's time, for the sake of keeping things peacefull. kerry was ahead in polls in 04, yet bush won. you would think the media learned then that polls aren't accurate. i would like to see mccain as president for 4 years, obama as secretary of state, and in 4 years obama would win hands down, and at a safer time. what's the rush. she is still young and country, unfortunatly is still too devided. timing is everything and as much as obama wants to win, the would be better off in a few years. love the guy, just wish him the best and the best, my opinion, is to play safe for the country 1st, and i bet he would be amazing when the time came for him to lead ALL people.
Posted by: zorra | Oct 11, 2008 12:48:10 PM
This is not nearly as bad as mccain when he was in PA. While speaking to a Pittsburgh crowd. He said he used the names of the famous Steelers Defensive line of the 1970's while being interrogated, too bad these guys weren't even playing when mccain was being interrogated. He is either going senile or he was trying to pull one over on the Pittsburgh crowd, either way this is BAD news for mccain. You can check out the article by going into google and typing "mccain steelers" and picking the first link.

Posted by: richardcranium1 | Oct 11, 2008 2:12:05 PM
Obama/Biden vs McCain/Palin, what if things were switched around?.....think about it.
Would the country's collective point of view be different?
Ponder the following:
What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the stage, including
a three month old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?
What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?
What if McCain had only married once, and Obama was a divorcee?
What if Obama was the candidate who left his first wife after a severe
disfiguring car accident, when she no longer measured up to his standards?
What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while
he was still married?
What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to pain
killers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?
What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?
What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five?
(The Keating Five were five United States Se nators accused of corruption
in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings
and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.)
What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?
What if Obama couldn't read from a teleprompter?
What if Obama was the one who had military experience that included
disc ipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes?
What if Obama was the one who was known to display publicly, on many
occasions, a serious anger management problem?
What if Michelle Obama's family had made their money from beer distribution?
What if the Obamas had adopted a white child?
You could easily add to this list. If these questions reflected reality,
do you really believe the election numbers would b e as close as they are?
This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes
positive qua lities in one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities in
another when there is a color difference.
Educational Background:
Barack Obama:
Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a Specialization in
International Relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude
Joseph Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)
vs.
John McCain:
United States Naval Acade my - Class rank: 894 of 899
Sarah Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in Journalism
Education isn't everything, but this is about the two highest offices in
the land as well as our standing in the world. You make the call.

David Plouffe, Obama's campaign manager, is from PA and is a big Phillies fan. That's why Obama's behind the Phillies, as he explained in a radio interview the other day.
Hell, if I were a candidate and my manager were running as great a campaign as Plouffe has been, I'd support his team too.

Florida a swing state?
Florida will go to Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
Been down to Florida lately?
The economy is great for people who build "House For Sale" yard signs.
Bad economies lead to desperate people. Desperate people use drugs/alcohol and commit crimes.
Think Floridians want to take a chance with another republican in office.
Vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden for change.

Again Obama at it. He would say anything to win. If phillies looses then he will switch to who ever wins, as long as he gets a few voters voting for him. He cannot be trusted, i believe his ambition will lead this country to the worst years to come, even worse than Bush years.

Was McC really 894 out of 899?
Was guessing there were maybe 20 persons in the class and he finished 15th which wouldn't be all that bad.
894 out 899?
Holy Smokes.
Googled it. Yep it's true.
"McCain struggled in naval academy, finishing 894th out of 899 students, and was rejected by the U.S. National War College until his family intervened with the Secretary of the Navy."

Unshrub,
So, if someone isn't voting Obama, then they must be a racist? Has nothing to do with political platform, then. Smart!!
Being a racist yourself, (you're black, right?) I believe you're in good company. Obama's one scary sh**!

Just the fact that you would read and post anything Michelle Malkin blogs speaks for itself, and about you. She is another one I would recommend for a psychological evaluation...I'm sure there is a back story for her rabid, vitrolic hatred. Probably should look into her family dynamics.
Posted by: MyAudacity | Oct 11, 2008 8:30:21 PM
ACORN!!! I would like to see a factual, and complete report on Obama's work for years for ACORN, as an attorney, as an organizer/trainer, and as a major donor.
This is current, nation-wide news, and not a word from ABC news. Massive voter fraud and ABC has its head in the sand while it reports on which sports team Obama is cheering for. Journalistic irresponsibility at its worst. P.S. Please: no nasty comments and put downs; you define yourself if you are afraid of questions and ignore the answers.

It fits into his regular behavior. He changes his views/tastes depending on the audience. He'll be a Yankees fan in New York. I don't know what to believe about Obama. Coming from a biracial family, I was excited to have a black candidate as well as a female candidate in Hillary for the presidency. However, I am not impressed with Obama's associations like Rev Wright, Ayers, and Khalidi. I am even less impressed with his lack of candor about his relationships. Whenever he is caught in one of these unsavory relationships he first denies it, then gradually admits to more and more, then distances himself from it. If you didn't believe in your pastor and churches views, then WHY DID YOU GO THERE for more than 20 years? And, if you do believe in socialism and hate, I don't want you to be my President.

The American people have lost their jobs, their 401 savings, their homes, their business, etc due to the Democratic legislation on home mortgages signed by Clinton and supported by Democrats and groups representing Black Americans. And at this time Senator Barack Obama wants to talk about baseball instead of fixing the mess he helped make. He is certainly childish and not in step with most American families. The people in Europe and Asia are very upset about the USA and their Democratic/Socialist policies.

-- The American people have lost their jobs, their 401 savings, their homes, their business, etc due to the Democratic legislation on home mortgages signed by Clinton and supported by Democrats and groups representing Black Americans. --
Sorry, but it was the result of a non-partisan bill passed veto-proof to Clinton that removed regulations dating back to the 20's, and allowed banks to package up bad mortgages and sell them as investments. Everyone had their hands on the problem, now we just need to look at who is best equipped to get us back on track.. continuation along the same path will not do it.

She believes she would exempted were it to be applied today. These idiots are the reason We are gradually losing out as the greatest country on earth|!!.
America needs a heavy stream of chemotherapy to get rid of these cancers that plague our nation. All they add to the national conversation is to divide us whiles making money out of our division. Shame on all you bigots hidden and known

Disgruntled, then you seriously need to stop inciting racist antagonism.
Reverse psychology is a tactic learned upon in political science.
Nationalism is a tangible right, and for only one side to look at reality, and say homage is only a right of only one sides sight, and not the multitudes, is just ludicrous.
To try and subjugate another's view's and comments, shows inferiority foible actions on your part. You seem to have a double-standard complex, which taunts with temerity and profuse ignorance.
Which means, the liberal insight you speak of, is nothing other than just an attempt to be pathos in an arrogant way!
Grow up and be respectful, you only live once, so show actual intelligence without trying to incite another's anger, which only shows your own with such muck!

SemperFi, you say HP Boston is a lard ass, yet you don't mention anything about other people getting off their lard asses, so they can make their own money.
You are really a pathetic excuse for a Marine, it you really are one. GOD, Country, Corp is the Marines motto, and you just disgraced it with Ignorant contempt.
PATHETIC!

Americans are know for their stupidity and gullibility and living through this con man running for President I now know why! He could walk into a ice cream store and the press (graduates of political science and journalism no less) would run out to the masses and do a poll on flavors. I feel like I'm on a drug trip without the drugs. God help American when this Socialist and that's putting it mildly gets in. You think eights years of George Bush was bad, you'll see! He didn't begin his career in Chicago politics for nothing!

Zero-bama is brilliant, indeed.
He has leveled the poor and rich by 50% in just one year, by tanking the stock market nearly 50%. Equality is half way under Zero-bama, before he is even elected.
0bama is directly responsible for the stock market crash because the leadership in the Congress, in supporting this Affirmative Action candidate's approach of giving voters cash, ignored the correct solution proposed by Hillary Clinton and McCain to target the financial sectors.
Had the leadership of the Congress and Mr. Zero-bama put the country first, and made the correct judgment to use the $300 billion to rescue the financial sectors ONE full year ago, perhaps, JUST PERHAPS, the stock market would have not tanked 50%.
What we know for sure is that Zero-bama has made yet another bad judgment, a completely boneheaded mistake, to give money to individuals, which did nothing to "stimulate" the economy except continued down-slide, and this approach has failed evidenced by tanking the stockmarket by 50%.
Karl Marx would have been proud of His Nothingness for leveling the field of rich and poor by 50%, with the exchange of your retirement accounts 50% less.
Perhaps, after Zero-bama took over the country, it will be a perfect world of "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need", such that you do not need your retirement accounts.

Who cares? He is an idiot who has no place in the White House. Democrats will take this country from bad to worse. Obama is going to RAISE TAXES PEOPLE! Make no mistake about that.
