Obama’s Rice Drills McCain Over and Over

Obama’s Rice Drills McCain Over and Over

On afternoon media call, Obama advisers Susan Rice and Richard Clarke light into McCain, his support for the Iraq War and his general attitude toward combat.

Rice says the Republican’s “tendency is to shoot first and to ask questions later,” saying he “cheerled Bush’s decision to take our eye off the ball and start a war in Iraq that had nothing to do with 9/11.”

Adds: “This is a record that belies anything approaching sound judgment.”

Clarke joins in on slamming “quick-draw McCain,” calling him “reckless,” “trigger-happy” and “discredited.”

On CNN, they mentioned the call, the quotes above and aggressive attacks on McCain.

I like it - now get all the surrogates pushing it consistently, hard and on camera. :)

1. The Obama campaign surrogates surely cannot rely on the media to speak the truth about McCain

11. Well, he DID say he didn't necessarily disagree with a DRAFT
He'll probably "walk it back" a little on THAT statement but it's certainly a question that NEEDS to be asked!

8. As I'm reading this
Madeline Allbright is telling Wolf Blitzer that in regards to Russia, Mc Cain is "shooting from the hip", whereas Obama is being much more measured.

Great message discipline.

9. Thank God! Get everyone on message and pushing this line on McCain.
It is TRUE - More WAR, WAR, WAR is McCain's solution to everything.

20. The single most disappointing thing about dems is their inability to hammer the message home.
Hell, I heard that Feinsuck(war profiteer) and Daschle said that McWeasel wouldn't be so bad. I mean WTF, that BS is almost enough to give up even caring about the dems.
