Proof of lifelessness

Here again is Obama's paragraph that McCain objects to:

"Nobody really thinks that Bush or McCain have a real answer for the challenges we face," Obama said Wednesday in Springfield, Missouri. "So what they're going to try to do is make you scared of me. You know, he's not patriotic enough. He's got a funny name. You know, he doesn't look like all those other presidents on those dollar bills, you know. He's risky."

What McCain really objects to is the definitive truth in the first sentence. He knows he has to scare the voters because he knows that they know he can't fix anything that Duhbya did wrong. Going negative is what he has to do, and he's trying to attack Obama's defense against fear.

Look for the nation's mood to go even lower under McCain's slimy barrage.

Will that help, asks Jack Cafferty? Win, I doubt. But it has already helped McCain blunt the positive impact of Obama's excellent adventure.

It will also further damage America, but McCain couldn't give a crap when faced with the consuming parasite of his own ambition.

Update (3/12/09): Cleaning up drafts, I found this from 7/31/08 about the same quote:

McCain has made his race card objection to this comment from Obama:

"Nobody really thinks that Bush or McCain have a real answer for the challenges we face," Obama said Wednesday in Springfield, Missouri. "So what they're going to try to do is make you scared of me. You know, he's not patriotic enough. He's got a funny name. You know, he doesn't look like all those other presidents on those dollar bills, you know. He's risky." (emphasis added)

I see, McCain and his friends think that Obama can't even mention his race without playing the race card (whatever the hell that formula means). Chris Matthews is constantly casting Obama outside "normal Americans" and talk radio is doing worse. The McCain campaign is no doubt casting Obama as risky. But it's Obama who's trying to play on race.

McCain is racing to the bottom, the foul slime that is Republican politics, by himself.
