Obama's double standards

[Andy823]

We all know that Mr. Obama has started attacking John Edwards over a 527 that has come out. The problem seems to be that Mr. Obama has some explaining to do.

Here is a link to a diary over on DK that really makes one wonder why Obama is having a problem with this, and going on the attack:

1. Thanks for the link.

Some interesting comments in that thread. Things that make you go "hmmmm" about BO.

2. I can't understand

How he can claim the high ground on the issue of 527's. And for the life of me I can't understand why he is so upset. I watched the ad, and thought it was great without trashing anyone, and without coming out and saying "go vote for Edwards"! The only thing I can see why Obama, and his supporters, are so upset about is that Edwards is becoming a threat to them, and they just can't accept that!

6. silly of obama to make such an issue of this. Makes him look little.

3. What's the double standard?

The diary was a jumble and didn't make much sense.

4. Here's A Better Tag Line

Obama's sh** does stink, after all.

Now I'm an Edwards supporter, but I've defended Obama when I thought he was unfairly attacked. I like Obama, but I did pick up on a certain arrogance in him upon occassion. Not like Dubya's swagger and bravado of always being sure he's right, but more of a smugness. You know, like he's better than the other candidates. You know, like his sh** didn't stink. He was almost too perfect.

Well, as we learn more about Barack Obama, we learn he is not so perfect. He is flawed just like all of the candidates. Name me one candidate who has not been hypocritical or self serving or shown a double standard at one time or another.

5. Where's the double standard?

I don't see it either in the OP or the Daily Kos diary. :shrug:

8. Maybe

You need to take off those "Obama" glasses, and you could see it, then again maybe not! :shrug:
