"What Senator Obama doesn't seem to understand....."

[SeattleGirl]

What's Gramps trying to pull off here? The "Elder Statesman" schooling the "Young Whippersnapper"?

[pinto]

1. Yeah.

:eyes:

[mooseprime]

2. you got that right.

it's so condescending! gah.

[Stand and Fight]

3. Unfortunately for McDoucheBag...

It makes him come off as an asshole -- especially when he keeps making so many mistakes.

[EarlG]

4. He's repeated that so many times

The problem is, Obama is giving every indication that he does understand - and in fact, he seems to understand a fair bit more than McCain does. The "he doesn't understand" line is coming across as condescending.

[Lasher]

6. And importantly, Obama is calling him on it.

Like the strategy and tactics thing, Obama replied that he understands the difference very well.

[Ilsa]

16. Obama is defending his position very well. He says it too much, and

McExcuses' line is growing old and people are catching on to his verbal manipulation.

5. Im glad it wasnt part of the drinking game....

I would be fucked up big time now.

[Zomby Woof]

14. Just for 'my friends' alone

One could die of alcohol poisoning.

7. He just said it AGAIN!

[high density]

8. McCain doesn't seem to understand that being an ass isn't helping him

[Mad_Dem_X]

9. He keeps saying it - how condescending!

I want to slap him.

[SeattleGirl]

10. He just said it AGAIN!

[Mad_Dem_X]

11. He keeps saying it - how condescending!

I want to slap him.

[City Lights]

12. His lecturing, condescending tone is a total turn off.

[nytemare]

13. Obama needs to forcefully say that he DOES understand

because in the heads of a certain number of voters, if he doesn't, McCain comes out on top.

This "again, Sen Obama doesn't understand" shit is pissing me off.

[Generic Brad]

15. Damn. I picked the wrong catch phrase for tonight's drinking game

I was all set to drink every time he said "My friends". But I'm still sober.

If I had chosen "What Senator Obama doesn't seem to understand..." I would be schnockered by now.

[mtnsnake]

17. Obama needs to start saying, "What Senator McCain seems to be forgetting..."

[Kat45]

18. Unfortunately, that's actually a good move on McCain's part.

There are a number of people who are reluctant to vote for Obama because "he doesn't have experience." And by McCain continually repeating that Obama "doesn't understand," it feeds into that belief.

[sampsonblk]

19. Yep, he's said that about 4 times that I remember

I guess that's McCain's strategy. Obama is holding his own very well. Especially by going after the commander-in-chief angle. IMHO, that's what we should have done in 2000 and 2004.
