Is McCain's choice of Palin what Obama means by "taking America in the wrong direction"?

Question

Why was the DNC's FIRST reaction to attack McCain's female choice?What does that mean about what Obama REALLY thinks about women in power?

SO who are the REAL candidates of change and who are for the status quo?!

Answer 1

What Obama really meant was that instead of voting for him, we might realize the real change would be to vote for McCain-Palin

Maybe it also shows his choice of VP - the ultimate Washington insider - really isn't change - just same old same old

have a great 2008

Answer 2

Barack Hussein Obama is a real B.S. artist.  He is a real back room politician and how he could attack a female choice is so disengenous.  What a phony he is!  McCain/Palin are the real candidates of change..they will change America for the better not for the worse like Obama.  High taxes, socialized medicine, weak foreign policy, appeasement, and inexperience.  Do you want a President that can't even put a sentence together without stammering, stuttering, hemming and hawing?  Without a teleprompter this guy is a no nothing, empty headed, upstart who is being controlled and backed by the liberal/radicals of the Dem. party...Dangerous stuff to consider right?  

Answer 3

They attacked the choice as cynical tokenism, and I tend to agree.

While I commend her on her efforts to clean up corruption in Alaska, the has too many negatives. Above all is her complete lack of experience.

Answer 4

He saying Mcclain is basically the same as Buch (voting 90%

with him) so we will be getting four more years of misery !!

Answer 5

Ton4bucs is fairly accurate.

The Dems first comment is on her lack of experience.  Compare with their top seed.  He's got 3 years in the Senate, 2 of those have been running for President.  His only accomplishments have been making questionable real estate deals to line his own pockets, associating with known and current terrorists, and not paying attention to his pastor of 20 years.  Looks like Chicago Politics to me.  

Looks like the only change Barack Obama is capable of making is of him being in office.

Answer 6

Why does it suddenly have to be about Obama not picking a woman?

Republicans are being ridiculous this year... McCain would not have a campaign at all if it weren't for Bush and Obama...

Answer 7

Geeze, Palin is a light weight, both in terms of experience and intellectually as well. That's going to be painfully obvious soon enough.
