Why is Obama running such a vicious smear campaign against Palin?

Question

Why is Obama running such a vicious smear campaign against Palin? Don't you think that he'd be better served if he dealt with the issues such as the war, the economy and illegal immigration?

Answer 1

It's not Obama, it's people like me, who don't particularly appreciate having a hyper-conservative fraud who's under investigation for official misconduct foisted on me by a certifiable crackpot like McSame...

Answer 2

Its Politics, do you think that the Republicans are not running a smear campaign against Obama and his VP nominee?  

Answer 3

He doesn't have any record of his own to run on.

Answer 4

Trying to hide his own inadequacies.......

Answer 5

Obama is not running any kind of smear campaign against Palin. I'm not saying there are no smear campaigns going on -- just that Obama isn't running one and has, in fact, called for people to leave her family alone.

Also, this has nothing to do with immigration.

Answer 6

Obama has said nothing about Palin other than to leave her alone.

Where do you get your erroneous information? You need to start thinking for yourself.

Answer 7

Since when has he said anything vicious about her? That's not like him. That's Mccains way!

Answer 8

Obama is not doing anything.

It is  people like me who  don't want to see trailer trash sucking a b*****d in the white house after being praised as a role model.'

run_beck:  Nope, McCain is stinking in the polls.

The real "moral majority" not just right wing fruit cakes don't want to see Palin promote that type of behavior as VP.

Answer 13

obama is a joke and will be the ultimate downfall of this country if elected. I think all the candidates should be addressing the illegal invader issue more than they are!

Answer 14

Have heard no such thing. Hillary will be sent in to attack her, watch!

Answer 15

He's afraid he see's his bid for president going bye- bye.  

The democrats have a well known history for raising taxes & pushing the country towards recession along w/ the jobless rate every time they control the white house & congress. Who has current control of congress? Hm mm let me guess the democrats.

Since the books that he wrote are now hitting the public & easily found on the web. Which really shows his racism in his own words. It is him that is on the run. So now he is trying to divert the spot light away from him. By smearing the competition with anything that he can find.

Who cares that her 17 yr old daughter is pregnant? Mine was when she was 17 yet it wasn't on national news. I almost feel insulted that the democrats didn't put it on national news. Maybe the parents of all the 17 yr old daughters who got pregnant should send a letter to the democrats wanting our missed publicity. I know a guy that got a BJ in his office yet he didn't make national news like Bill. Who cares? Mud slinging pisses off the public & if you want to get elected you are better off to stay with the issues & stop mud slinging the competition.

He is getting in the hot seat more & more over his racism along w/ his religious/muslim beliefs. He had a chance if he would have not published his books directly pointing out all of his racial slurs and just stayed a black man running for president.

You need to keep in mind that their are more working rednecks than their are liberals conservatives & minorities. People without jobs usually can't afford to go out & vote.
