When Sen. Obama takes the Presidential oath of office next Jan, we'll be routinely treated to headlines featuring the middle name - let's get used to it!!!
Rather, I AM distressed that Sen. Obama hasn't stepped up to put an end to this silliness:
"We're facing the biggest financial crisis in a generation, and my respected Republican opponent is trying to scare you with my middle name!!!"... There are any number of variations on this theme Candidate Obama could play.
If Candidate Obama were feeling particularly vicious, he could follow up, "... they're trying to scare you with my middle name", with something along the lines of...
"Over the past 8 years our Republican leaders have relentlessly used FEAR to justify the most disastrous policies in our history...... again, I'm not Candidate Obama's speech-writer, but I do wish someone on his staff would suggest this tactical response to the fear-mongering invocation of what is, after all, the Candidate's name!
They - the Republicans, including my respected Republican opponent - have nothing else to sell: only FEAR!
I believe we - Americans - are better and stronger than that... that is why my campaign has consistently offered hope for the future..."
Have a nice day.
Great example of how to counter the bull shit from these right wingers and it would work. I have used this a post.
