Obama has been “Biden” time. Let the campaign begin.
August 25th, 2008 by Larry Bellinger Posted in UncategorizedFor the last few weeks folks in the punditocracy have been asking, “Why is the race narrowing, why hasn’t Obama put McCain away?” Why? Because the McCain campaign long ago abandoned the “Straight Talk Express” and has given into the Dark Side.
This time last summer, the media was referring to “poor John McCain,” standing alone in the airport waiting at the baggage carousel. No matter, Hillary was going to win the Democratic nomination and win or lose the general election , Those Who Own Us will get to keep looting the treasury and wrecking the government as they have for the last 27 years – Bill Clinton aside. Since Obama vanquished Hillary Clinton in the primaries – the corporate criminals who run this joint have brought McCain into the fold.
They then went to Plan B and brought in another in a long line of Lee Atwater disciples and descendants to take the McCain campaign into the gutter and pull out a knife.
Steve Schmidt, this bald-headed Rove disciple, is following the standard operating procedure of saying a big lie, saying it again and then louder until the media starts parroting the lie while pretending to “analyze” the charge. Schmidt claims this will be his last campaign, maybe he remembers the fate of Lee Atwater and wants to avoid going to hell.
Meanwhile, the pundits are also the ones screaming that Obama needs to hit back at John McCain. They said the same thing during the primary campaign when Hillary Clinton whacked him without conscious. It just goes to show that all the talking heads really don’t know the country in which they live.
Obama needs to punch back, they said. Yeah, right.
Barack Obama, black man, should have gone toe to toe with Hillary Clinton, white woman. That would have played as well as the Nicole Brown Simpson 911 tape.
Obama should slap John McCain about the head? Black man beating up Grandpa.
Joe Biden will have no such disadvantage in taking heavy shots at John McCain and those shots will land hard. But Biden’s biggest help will be with the (as Ms. Clinton so eloquently put it),”real, hard working americans, white americans,” that he can speak to.
Now, of course, the pundits are falling over themselves to say Biden will NOT be able to deliver any of the above. I disagree. I hope I’m right.
It will all come down to the ground game in the deciding states.Stay tuned.
