Barack Obamas campaign was "deceitful" when it clipped part of an interview in which Republican Victory 2008 Chairwoman Carly Fiorina said John McCain was not qualified to be the head of a corporation, Fiorina said Tuesday [09-16-08].
Earlier in the day, Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, appeared on MSNBC — the Obama network —, where she said none of the candidates is qualified to run a major corporation, but that should not prevent them from running the country.
"I dont think John McCain could run a major corporation. I dont think Barack Obama could run a major corporation. I dont think Joe Biden could run a major corporation. But on the other hand a major corporation is not the same as being the president or vice president of the United States," Fiorina said.
"It is a fallacy to suggest that the country is like a company. So of course to run a business you have to have a lifetime of experience in business, but thats not what Sarah Palin, John McCain, Joe Biden or Barack Obama are doing," she said.
But the Obama campaign, in an e-mail linking to a YouTube video of Fiorinas statement that was clipped after the first sentence, berated McCain for not winning the trust of even his own supporters.
"When John McCains top economic adviser doesnt think that hes qualified to run a corporation — how on Earth can he run the largest economy in the world in the midst of a financial crisis?" Obama spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement accompanying the shortened clip.
"Apparently even the people who run his campaign agree that the economy is an issue that John McCain doesnt understand as well as he should. Senator Obama has been ahead of the curve trying to prevent this crisis and hes called for new rules of the road to make sure that it doesnt happen again."
Fiorina lashed back at the suggestion she doesnt trust McCain and said Obama is the least qualified of any of the candidates to run the country.
"I think this is a pattern of the Obama campaign. What they did was deceitful. They literally cut words off," Fiorina told Fox News.
"Secondly, they are sort of flooding the zone with nonsense. Look, different experiences prepare you for different jobs. Sarah Palin and John McCain are uniquely experienced to be the president and vice president of the United States. Barack Obama is the least qualified candidate running today in terms of his executive experience, in terms of his time in public office. So I think the Obama campaign would do very well to stop hurling the experience argument, because their candidate for president has less than any one else for office right now on these two tickets," she said.

>> His Monday "Economy is fundamentally strong" speech was read entirely from cue cards in feeble fits...
LMAO! This in comparison to O-Dumba who actually had to bring and have them set up a teleprompter at a freakin' RODEO? The man couldn't even remember what to see at a freakin' horse show? How PATHETIC is this guy? Sheesh, thank goodness he didn't end up defending anyone as a trial lawyer since he'd never get past an opening statement unless it was dictated TO him. What a doofus!

First of all, McCain never said anything.
Second, it was an aide who held up a blackberry to point out that McCain had helped sponsor and voted for a telecommunications act upon which all Blackberries DO operate. So he was simply trying to make a point.
This of course is in comparison to Al Gore who DID try to claim he created the Internet. But hey, lying is so ingrained into Libs that you guys believe any whacked thing that is said so long as it comes from another Lib.
