Should Obama respond to Palin's attacks against him?

[TeamJordan23]

What do you think?

[applegrove]

1. Yes he should respond piece by lying sack of sick piece. Including the

part where he raises taxes on everyone (implied)when he is only planning on returning the rich to the taxes they paid under Clinton.

[KharmaTrain]

2. Nope

As the saying goes...Eagles Don't Fly With Turkeys...

Leave it to the surrogates...and the blogosphere. We're having too much fun.

[AllentownJake]

3. No Hillary Clinton should.

[Ron Paul- voting BO]

4. He@@ YEA

Look this women raised taxes as mayor- she was for the bridge to know where (before she was against it)- Put this stuff out and force her to get on the talk shows. That way they cannot throw softballs at her. He@@ she was for Obamas energy plan and taxed oil companies to give money back to its citizens. The same thing Obama talked about.. Run commercials now and get the press talking- She is the one who brought it up in her speech. Use it against her NOWWWW

5. No, not if you know anything about community organizing

You don't follow your opponents rhetoric. You address the false facts briefly and then proceed on your campaign's agenda and talking points. If you respond your wasting time promoting (that's really what it is) your opponents talking points and message.

In the end, your message is not getting through.

He did just as he should have. There will soon be time for harsh ad's. I can't wait for the left leaning 527's in this campaign.

6. Obama should use the attacks against the republicans

Just show how this type of politics has been destroying this nation and is more of the same. There is no point getting into the details.

We don't need more partisan bickering

[FrenchieCat]

7. He should decide what to do.

Since the other one has other people picking his Veep, my strong candidate will do as he choose.....just like he chose his own Veep.

[mmonk]

8. Yes, but in a reserved matter of fact manner.

Let the republicans spew and stay in control and cool.

[oviedodem]

9. Biden can VP to VP; Obama can attack McCain and whole damn ticket.

[951-Riverside]

10. NO!

Shes just a Mom, leave her alone ...for the sake of the children. :sarcasm:

[TheDonkey]

11. HELL. YES.

No more of this, I'm "too much" to respond. The woman flat out lied her ass off about him. HE NEEDS TO SLAP THOSE LIES DOWN.

[MadBadger]

12. Only the community organizing charge.

[msallied]

13. How often has he had to stoop to the level of those shmucks? Never.

[Parker CA]

14. Yes

Obama is an incredibly intelligent man, and if there was a time to use that intelligence in a combative manner, this is the time. He MUST respond to these attacks, especially those posed by Giuliani. Biden and Obama need to bring on the full assault in this one. They have been using kid-gloves until now, but this convention tonight has given Obama/Biden the perfect opening to attack with a vengeance.

[scheming daemons]

15. Not HIMSELF...... he should be Presidential, above the fray..... Surrogates, however, should tear

her a new one.

[AtomicKitten]

16. No, but his surrogates should "correct" her.

[Bucky]

17. Only if it frames his attack on the substance that she left out of her speech.

She still claims she turned down the funding for the 'bridge to nowhere' when in reality she lobbied for it.

She says she's a friend to special needs children when her budget as governor of Alaska cut special education funding by 62%

She lied saying Obama would raise taxes. Obama pledged to cut taxes for 90% of Americans

She said Alaska has plenty of oil and natural gas when in fact it's reserves would not put a dent in either America's energy importation needs nor the current high price of petroleum.

She said Dems want to surrender in the war on terror when Obama is specifically promising to go after the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan--the central front against the terrorists who attacked us and who the Bush administration and John McCain have all but ignored.

[SaveAmerica]

18. He will whether we think he should or not, he doesn't let the rep. party lead the message...

[Egnever]

19. He will but in that great Obama fasion

By saying things like they belittle me while i am here to talk to you about your children s health care or the realities on the ground in Georgia or the future of our country.

He will mock them simply by talking about the issues instead.

It drives em freaking batty too that's the great thing about it.

[TwilightGardener]

20. No--he and Palin aren't equals. She and Biden are.

[bermudat]

21. No, he should never attack her personally.

In fact he should never call out her name. She is nothing. He should continue to call out McSame

and the repugnantcan party. Let Hill and Biden take it to her.
