Obama's Camp Responds To Palin's Speech

Last night Sarah Palin rocked the Republican National Convention in St. Paul with her speech.

Palin took a few swings at Obama during her speech, "What exactly is our opponent’s plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet?" Asked Palin, "The answer is to make government bigger and take more of your money and give you more orders from Washington and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world.”

Well that comment didn't go over so well with Obama's camp. They were quick to release a statement about her speech. Obama's camp said:

“The speech that Gov. Palin was well delivered, but it was written by George Bush’s speechwriter and sounds exactly like the same divisive, partisan attacks we’ve heard from George Bush for the last eight years. If Gov. Palin and John McCain want to define ‘change’ as voting with George Bush 90% of the time, that’s their choice, but we don’t think the American people are ready to take a 10% chance on change.”

The claws are out and it's not looking pretty. What did you think of Palin's speech? And who will you be voting for?

That is the same line they have been saying about every Republican candidate. It's the only ammunition they have.

Obama's camp has nothing else to accuse them of other than to say they're just Like Bush. Palin gave Obama a good thrashing with facts. That's what they're upset about. They fear her because she's a threat to them now and for the next few elections. This election is a must win for the democrats (and I'm a democrat, btw). It was the democrats treatment of Hilary Clinton as well as their dismissive attitude toward Florida and Michigan voters that had me thinking about voting for McCain. Now that I've heard Gov. Palin speak, I'm definitely voting for her and seriously considering changing my party affiliation that I've had since I was 18yrs old. The democrats have doomed themselves with their pick. They have no one to blame for the inevitable loss in November but themselves.

I totally agree with you, Dania. PALIN is what we need, not "smoke & mirrors" from Obama's camp!

No Way Are YOU OUT OF YOUR MINDS!!!!!! This is the fork in the Road,--Alligations of Smoke and Mirrors is just plain Silly. If we don't chose the right path,We will end up having World War111. We are a heartbeat away from having a person with about 10 yrs. experience in lowgrade political positions trying to Lead a Bankrupt Country back to Security and Prosperity. So even if you don't care for Obama,Vote for the Democratic Party. Myself I amm voting for Obama and I am Proud of it!!!!! Char

Ever since the 60s, this country slowly started to lose its way. Not only did we as a country lose confidence, the rest of the world lost confidence in us. We were left vulnerable to an attack like what happened on 9/11 because terrorists believed we were vulnerable. We can;t please everyone else in the world all the time. We don't have to. This country is bigger than its people and is great even in spite of some of its citizens. Why? Because the idea of America and every thing it stands for since its inception is more important than one one person, any one soldier, any one politician. I think its ironic that Obama accused McCain of "not getting it" in his speech when it's Obama that doesn't get it. We don't need to raise taxes any more than they've been raised. We need to get people off of social programs they don't need and we as taxpayers shouldn't be paying for. People need to take the opportunities afforded to them - the chance at an education and decent jobs. When people want the easy way out by having money thrown at them so they don't have to work or go to college, who's to blame? Every person is accountable for his/her own life. Don't expect to have your neighbor bail you out of a jam. Instead, study hard, work even harder and reap the rewards of your labor and not someone else's handouts. If Obama is the future of the democratic party, then they're in trouble. For all the hardships he's suffered during his life, Obama is surprisingly naive about how he'll deal with foreign threat to our safety. The fact that he's never call out on anything he's said, done, or voted on by the media in general has me thinking the republican claims of media bias are on point. I hate to indulge thoughts of conspiracies, but somewhere along the road, the media decided Obama was the candidate that should win and to heck with everyone else. I know which ticket I'll be voting for come November, and in the privacy of the voting booth I wouldn't be surprised if alot of people that jumped on the "Obama bandwagon" jump off.

Palin isn't vice president material. Clinton may have been. I'm all for forestalling WWIII. Go Obama!

All I can say is you need help bad. Your comments make no sense. We are losing jobs, homes, and no healthcare. This is what you want in America. Oh by the way this is the Bush way which is going to be the McCains way.

Actually what I'd like is for people to start taking responsibility for their own lives instead of blaming the government for their poor choices. My family is a one-income household with two kids. We own our home and have private health care which we pay for. The secret is to save money, make sacrifices, not take that extra vacation or rack up your credit cards. Keep your debt down to a minimum and employ your money in useful ventures like investing and paying for college tuitions in advance. The problem is most people look for the easy way out. I have so many friends my age (mid 30s) that are up to their eyeballs in debt, driving cars they can't afford and living in homes that are way above their means. They'll eat mac and cheese every night yet spend $100 every Saturday night on expensive dinners. Newsflash, if you can't afford it you don't indulge. We can do that now because we were wise with our money for many years. Now my friends complain all the time about how bad everything is, yet I didn't see them complain when their property taxes went down, when they got raises and bonuses at work or when the government sent them incentive checks a few months ago. Nope, they spent their checks on vacations and jet skis they can't afford (which is their right to do) and we spent ours on new tires for both our cars. It's about choices, folks. The government doesn't make those decisions for you. If you think Obama can make your life better, then you're very naive.

FYI

If Obama gets elected... consider the US to become just another 3rd world country! Let him go author another memoir and leave the big decisions to the people who really do LOVE this country!

"It's about choices folks. The government doesn't make those decisions for you." Unless of course the choice in question is whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. That's one choice McCain & Hockey Mom think should be taken away from women and decided by the government.

You know, it is possible to be pro-life and pro-choice at the same time. I wasn't aware McCain ever stated his wishes to have Roe vs Wade overturned. He's stated his personal opinion on the subject, not what he believes the government should do. In fact, this is why the conservative base of the GOP has not backed him in the past. They wanted him to come out and say just that. Obama himself has expressed what a difficult subject abortion is and how he won't answer too many questions regarding when he believes life begins because he doesn't want his Christian beliefs to dictate what government should do. I think you might be surprised how many pro-choice, personally anti-abortion Democrats there are in this country. BTW, not the entire GOP wishes to have Roe Vs Wade overturned. This is mostly the conservative base of the party. The more centrist party members, while personally anti-abortion for moral or religious reasons, have no interest in pushing for overturning this ruling. If you read my prior comment correctly, I was referring to financial choices that directly impact ones life and economic status and how the government isn't (and shouldn't) be there to guide you in these decisions and then bail you out when you choose poorly. I was referring, anonymous, to personal fiscal responsibility.

The difference here is speech and preach. Obama makes the speech but it holds no water so that's all it is. McCain and Palin will preach but its still up to us to decide for ourselves. Therefore they will lead by example. The key difference between the two is, only one will lead. Obama's abilities end when his speech does. His unedited speech for his response would have gone like this: "The speech that Gov. Palin was well delivered, but it was written by George Bush’s speechwriter and sounds exactly like the same divisive, partisan attacks we’ve heard from George Bush for the last eight years and unfortunately for me it's all true." Palin and McCain stand before you and preach what they believe, pro-life for example, and they have proven to stand firm in their beliefs there's no denying it. They can and have made the tough choices. And in the oval office when a decision has to be made, their response will not be "Let me get back to you."
