This is ridiculous... "Obama on the defensive" (AP)

Obama is back on defense
AP

By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer 18 minutes ago

RIVERSIDE, Ohio - Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has found himself in a position he hasn't been in during many long months of campaigning — on defense against Republican rival John McCain.

With just over seven weeks left in the race, the candidates are running even in most polls, money and, it seems, even rank-and-file enthusiasm — all fronts where Obama had led for months.

You know, not from the interviews I have seen with o-viley and in Indiana speeches...he's been ON FIRE! :wtf:
How can they say this? how can one hear what he says and not "get it" ...? i am baffled . Obama has even been saying "you're not that stupid" "they think you are"

WAKE UP AMERICA!

full article, if you can hold the :puke:

6. Attack!!!
I know the Obama campaign is smart. The only way to keep from being on the defense is to make sure the other guys are too busy defending themselves to attack you.

7. Yahoo headling - Obama tries to steal Nebraska Electoral vote...
This because he opens a campaign office in Omaha.

The word steals implies he is doing something dishonest.

I'm seeing more and more if this crap, and it's becomign repulsive to me.

Have we lost any honesty and integrity from the AP and even the Search engines now?

8. They have been doing it a lot lately...
and they always do it when they annoucements at the beginning of the shows they use the words Obama attacked,slams and they make this statements as if Obama wasn't attacked when he responds back...I was reminded of this the other day because it reminded me of when Hillary went on the attack and Obama supporters were complaining that he wasn't hitting back and once he did the media portrayed him as the attacker because he was hitting back.


They are doing the same now. (I am not trying to get the feud started again) but I noticed this over the weekend when Obama said "They think your stupid" and the media acted as though he had committed a murder because he was responding to Mcpalin attacks...
