Kindergarten cop

The RNC, apparently working to keep the press alert to the fact that Obama was on vacation at a fairly exotic spot all week, blasted out quite a bit of trivia: He'd attended Batman, the press learned from one of their emails; and he'd ordered hamburgers.

In the primary, Obama's particular strength was pivoting off overstated Clinton attacks -- Remember how much mileage he got out of her charge that he'd started running for president in Kindergarten? -- and he's reaching for that again now, mocking the Republican mockery, in an email from spokesman Tommy Vietor.

Breaking News Alert – RNC attacks hamburgers, moviegoers and ice cream cones! Puppies and kittens feared to be next!

Below are just a few examples of the RNC’s recent attacks on Obama. Apparently the folks at the RNC don’t like eating cheeseburgers or ice cream with their families, and are not among the millions of Americans who enjoyed Batman.

Obama camp pokes fun at RNC vacation hits

If only the RNC could have discovered that Obama had one of the kids-sized burgers or perhaps slipped a salad with dressing on the side into the bag:

Below are just a few examples of the RNC’s recent attacks on Obama. Apparently the folks at the RNC don’t like eating cheeseburgers or ice cream with their families, and are not among the millions of Americans who enjoyed Batman.

(PS guys – the article you used to attack Obama for liking Batman also notes that Batman is McCain’s favorite superhero: “JOHN McCAIN: Batman: ''He does justice sometimes against insurmountable odds. And he doesn't make his good works known to a lot of people, so a lot of people think he's just a rich playboy.''

Recent RNC Oppo Hits

Island Snow Hawaii (130 Kailua Road, Kailua, HI): The Honolulu Star-Bulletin reports Obama stopped at Island Snow Hawaii yesterday and “asked for a cone with ‘guava orange, Lanikai lime and choo-choo cherry.’ … A crowd of about 50 people gathered behind him, snapping pictures with digital cameras and cell phones and giving him a round of applause as he exited.”

Ward 16 Theatre (1200 Ala Moana Blvd, Honolulu, Hawaii): The Honolulu Star Bulletin reports Barack Obama ate popcorn and watched the 3:40 showing of the Dark Knight in theater 9 yesterday. Obama recently named Batman and Spider-man as his favorite superheroes, citing their “inner turmoil.”

Kua 'Aina Sandwich Shop (1200 Ala Moana Blvd # 665, Honolulu, Hawaii): The Honolulu Advertiser reports “Obama ordered six half-pound cheeseburgers, eight third-pound cheeseburgers, 10 kids' burgers and 20 orders of fries” for a total of “just over $116” at Kua 'Aina yesterday.
