Seems to me Obama's just upset that he's being called on his own name-calling.


I am starting to see a disturbing trend in Obama and his supporters.

"Seems to me Obama's just upset that he's being called on his own name-calling."
Except that he didn't call names - he's used a very common expression that McCain HIMSELF used at timestamp= 29secs in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMPYkNQlJMM

This is more faux righteous indignation.

That's one interpretation. It could just be that the Republican candidates have nothing to offer so they are grasping a straws to divert from this fact.

Or it could be Obama whining as well...

Copied from my reply to a similar message on the "Moderate Parenting" board:

ahem - this is a video of McCain answering a question about HILLARY CLINTON'S healthcare plan in OCTOBER!!! No big deal was made of it then, none should be made now. It is just a figure of speech. Palin does not own the word lipstick. Please. People find some real news and issues to debate. This is ridiculous.

It's about time he got cheesed off.

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.
