Barack Obama Negative Campaign Hypocrisy

[ghostdtx]

just because he speaks the truth.. doesn't make him a speaker of hypocracy.

you want another 4 years of Bush? that we literally CAN'T afford?

if we never invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, there would be over 3.7 TRILLION dollars added into our National Reserve.

How much money went to Haliburton for having PRIVATIZED COMPANIES.. DOING MILITARY JOBS? BUSH IS A WAR CRIMINAL. Atleast Regan had the balls to have his successor give him amnesty, Bush gave it to HIMSELF.

Where's the logic in that?

[jokool24]

all he does is distort things to make stupid people think hes a savior

Breaking promises already. This is why past actions speak louder than words. Campaign promises from either party mean nothing.

Example: Obama says he cares about the poor and promises them help. Google George Obama you will see that Barack offered no help to his half brother in Africa who is living on less than a dollar a month. He doesn't care but it sounds good saying that he does. His community organizing was for a political group.

They all make promises that they won't keep.

He wasn't going to play them but when McCain started doing it, that opened the doors for anything (you couldn't expect Obama to sit by and let those negative yet effective ads to play, after all americans eat that garbage up).  Once again McCain supporters unable to pick apart details and analyze situations for what they really are.

[stick1to2the3issue]

obama has been distorting every single day on the stump since the day he won the primary and before that.

[Basta11]

That's not hypocrisy. It's totally fair game to attack Bush's bad record, and McCain's support for that bad record. Negative campaigning would be like telling the American people how Mccain cheated on his first wife, with his current wife. Now that is negative campaigning.

[stick1to2the3issue]

He took it totally out of context and took a little snippet of what he said to mischaracterize what Mccain meant. Sorry to burst your bubble about your messiah

[killacamtay]

ummmmmm he did say that.what he said was and exact quote john mccain said in the republican primary debate.

[stick1to2the3issue]

He took it totally out of context and took a little snippet of what he said to mischaracterize what Mccain meant. Sorry to burst your bubble about your messiah

[killacamtay]

dude i dont care what you say i saw the tape look it up he said we have made great progress economically after a direct question asked to him whether or not he thought we had made progress economically.Now if that is out of context compare that to when he said 2 or 3 weeks ago the fundamentals of our economy is strong.....Dude WAKE THE HELL UP mccain is a patriot and a great American hero but America needs more than a good solider who finished 5th from the bottom of college

[stick1to2the3issue]

HE SAID:"we are in very challanging times, famillies are trying to make tough choices to be able to keep their homes,trying to deal with losing their jobs,no doubt we are in enourmas difficulties,I THINK IF U LOOK AT THE OVERAL RECORD AT MILLIONS OF JOBS BEING CREATED ETC. YOU COULD MAKE AN ARGUMENT THAT THERSES BEEN GREAT PROGRESS ECONOMICALLY OVER THAT PERIOD OF TIME, BUT THATS NO COMFORT TO STRUGGLING FAMILIES"

clearly it is not how you or obama described.

[toyracers]

negative campaigning consist of arguments out of context with policies.. example mccains involvement with that lobbyist and "giving her company preferential treatment.. or rev wright with obama.. judging mccains economic policies is FAIR game..

[stick1to2the3issue]

Difference: He took it totally out of context and took a little snippet of what he said to mischaracterize what Mccain meant. Sorry to burst your bubble about your messiah

For anyone to say that it showed a lack of judgement to sit in that church for 20 years is TRUTH. keep drinking the kool aid

[toyracers]

really??? your going to compare obamas criticism of McCains economic views to obamas church...

personally im an atheist.. job creation numbers are pathetic, average income has declined.. i dont see how mccain can justify a comment like that (not to mention its not the only time he has made comments like that

[stick1to2the3issue]

REALLY??? your going to keep distorting arent you? when someone like you distorts so obviously it just shows everything you lack in substance. 1st of all it wasn't "obama's criticism", because I am fine with criticism. IT WAS THE COMPLETE BASTARDIZATION AND MISCHARACTERIZATION of Mccain economics view. get it THIS TIME????? Also It wasn't OBAMA'S CHURCH, but obamas complete lack of judgemetn for goign there for 20 effing years!!!!!!

What HE said.

Reminds me of when Darrell Issa criticized Waxman's investigation of Blackwater as a slap at Gen. Petraeus and patriotism, and when he defended BW as NOT a "Republican company" when no one suggested that it was.

OBLIQUE. Sometimes metaphors and examples need to be elastic, stretchable, one size fits all occasions. Like those reversable coats from the 70's.

[dexeron]

What is your definition of negative campaining? Pointing out the policy flaws of your opponent is not negative campaining.

Negative campaining: implying that someone would not be a good president because of something as specious as their middle name or whether or not they wear a flag pin made in CHINA.

Campaigns ought to be about the issues. Obama has not descended to the type of smearing that, say, Clinton's folks or the conservative radio pundits have. So how again is this hypocrisy?

[GodsTruth4ever]

Typical Obama,Hypocrite!!

[barryalanwalker]

Is pointing out John McCain's loyalty and adherence to the Bush administration and their policies "playing to the lowest common denominator"?

[xcusemeprincess]

this is a perfect example of non sequitur

[smartcookie4]

You know why I can't stand this guy? He is so two-faced, sarcastic, and slippery. He talks about the higher ground, when he consistently plays to the lowest common denominator. I don't get how so many people are taken in by him. I guess they are slippery too....
