Obama Hits Back at McCain For His NRA Remarks!!!!!!!!
John McCain, the doddering old idiot, had this to say at the National Rifle Association this afternoon:

Earlier today, Sen. Obama made a few remarks I would like to respond to. I welcome a debate about protecting America. No issue is more important. Sen. Obama claimed all I had to offer was the ‘naive and irresponsible belief’ that tough talk would cause Iran to give up its nuclear program. He should know better. I have some news for Sen. Obama: Talking, not even with soaring rhetoric, in unconditional meetings with the man who calls Israel a ‘stinking corpse’ and arms terrorists who kill Americans will not convince Iran to give up its nuclear program. It is reckless to suggest that unconditional meetings will advance our interests.

It would be a wonderful thing if we lived in a world where we don't have enemies. But that is not the world we live in, and until Sen. Obama understands that reality, the American people have every reason to doubt whether he has the strength, judgment and determination to keep us safe.


And immediately, the Obama campaign fired back WWF-style with a giant smackdown on John McCain!!!!

"What's reckless is continuing the Bush-McCain foreign policy that has cost us thousands of lives and a trillion dollars in Iraq, strengthened Iran, enabled Hamas to take Gaza, took our eye off al Qaeda, failed to capture Osama bin Laden, failed to finish the job in Afghanistan, and left us less safe and less respected in the world. No amount of utterly predictable fear-mongering and tough talk can change the fact that John McCain is running to continue the most disastrous foreign policy in recent American history," said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton.

1. The Obama campaign has some rapid responses.
As I recall the Clinton campaign had a similar fast-response team in 1992.

7. McCain is an idiot
if the best he can do is argue as to why we shouldn't talk to our enemies, he's lost the whole damned thing, and it just lets Obama come back sounding more and more like the only person out there making any sense.

Way to go O!

19. Right in the first 4 words..that's all the goperverts
have ever had..fearmongering and wedge issues. Is that anyway to run a country?

And then along came Obama.

17. This is why I am worried about Nov.
For the very first time someone is standing up to these evil people.

Obama is so brave to do this for US and for the 21st Century CHANGE that must take place in America.

We have been ABUSE victims, having no one to defend us and he stands right up and speaks for us.

I'm trying to think of another Democrat that gave rapid responses === was it Harry Truman? Didn't he have one liners?

12. Note to Republicans: When you say something stupid...
...we are going to fire back harder and faster than you have ever seen. And it will be with the TRUTH! We are not going to sit around taking your lying and bullying again.... NOT THIS TIME.

16. I love that Obama keeps pointing out the fear mongering.

I think that's very important to get that out into the mainstream mindset. We know the MSM wasn't covering it as such.

24. Fear mongering and hypocrisy. I was SO happy to see him use that word
(hypocrisy) in his first response to the "appeasement" bullshit.

YES!

Pretentious hypocrisy is the HALLMARK (modus operandi) of Republicans

20. I can't wait for McCain
To have one of his famous mental breakdowns.

I'm hoping it comes during a debate. Nothing would be better than an angry McCain launching into a swearing tirade during a debate.

26. did you see footage of him being an asshole
Edited on Fri May-16-08 09:00 PM by ErinBerin84
to the reporters who were questioning his "speech" from yesterday on the Straight talk express? He kept giving bullshit answers to their questions for clarification on the speech, and the two female reporters didn't back down and kept asking him to clear it up in a very polite manner. He got so frustrated and pricky as usual. They showed it on Dan Abrams and he said "Now I'm even more confused over what the meaning of his speech from yesterday is than I was before he answered questions about it." I can't wait for the full on meltdown.

23. I giggle at the thought that Obama's gonna make us see that
the world does not hate America. What it hates is the administration and it's policies.

McCain is trapped. He can only admit to four more years of the same madness.

32. Bill Burton is wrong!
Johnny boy isn't "running to continue the most disastrous foreign policy in recent American history," it's the most disastrous foreign policy in the ENTIRE history of America.


John McCain.....
