OBAMA TO GO ON OFFENSE AT DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

[TheSarge]

RALEIGH, N.C. — Barack Obama’s campaign plans to use the four-day Democratic National Convention next week to relentlessly portray John McCain as a carbon copy of President Bush, in a strategic shift foreshadowed by two days of tougher attacks on his GOP rival.

The criticism itself, which will focus on the Arizona senator’s economic policies, ties to lobbyists and decades-long tenure in Washington, is not new. But the intensity of the attacks is — and it is meant to minimize the heavy emphasis on Obama’s charisma-driven campaign.

McCain has hammered the theme in recent weeks that Obama is an aloof “celebrity” unprepared to be commander in chief.

“The convention will offer a series of contrasts and comparisions of the McCain record so voters can see how clearly the choice will be in November,” Obama spokesman Bill Burton told FOX News. “The convention will also introduce Senator Obama to the country, but it will make sure to convey strongly the differences and choices Obama’s campaign presents over McCain’s.”

Wow.  Something new and refreshing.

Oh my.

Nothing new under the sun.

However, question.

Isn't somebody who's preaching the message of Hope, supposed to be preaching Hope, rather than usual politics?

Bad move on Barry "Goldwater" Obama's part, presenting the same old same old.

So once again Barry Soreoto is passing up a grand opportunity to personally tell the nation in real words who Barak Hussein Obama is as a man.  Interesting.

Of course he is - The Obama myth is now greater than the Obama truth. So many will be deflated once they learn that he can't fly or shoot down Rethulikkkans with his eye-lasers.. That the Movie Hancock isn't a portrayal of his reckless youth.

   Obama doesn't know what going on the offense means...

Courtesy a Texan living up here in the Sandhills of Nebraska; one of those ethnic groups the Obamaite Democrats think are in their bag.

this guy is pooping in his own mess kit.  he became The BarackStar! running on hope, healing, and unity.  running an overly aggressive "nasty" convention isn't going to enhance his stature as a unifier . . . although that may be something else that he abandoned the instant that the primaries ended.

I thought Obama was offensive to begin with.

[DumbAss Tanker]

To try to hit on it for four days straight and rely on that requires them to draw contrast, and particularly puts the burden on them to irrevocably stake out their own stand to define an opposite from McCain, which is virtually guaranteed to backfire on them since the disparate mutually-hostile factions of the Donk party have only been staying together by deluding themselves that Obama is really on their side, a fiction which cannot be maintained once he is forced to articulate and adhere to a definite party platform. 

On edit - it also walks right into the GOP convention, which will have a week in the spotlight to pick apart every lie they spout and counterattack on every one of them.

if he tells people that he's doomed worse than now.  the wheels are coming off kids, enjoy...

Wait til it comes out that he's made the hajj.
