Obama Shows Sexist, Overblown Reaction to Palin Pick

August 29, 2008 by GayPatriot

Someone sounds desperate and childish…..

Barack Obama has run a very smart campaign but made one of its dumbest moves yet in response to John McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin for veep.

“Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency,” campaign spokesman Bill Burton said.

This insider-Washington drivel from a campaign calling for change? This from the campaign of a guy whose foreign policy experience amounts to little more than a choreographed trip with reporters?

The McCain Campaign responds:

“It is pretty audacious for the Obama campaign to say that Governor Palin is not qualified to be Vice President.  She has a record of accomplishment that Senator Obama simply cannot match.  Governor Palin has spent her time in office shaking up government in Alaska and actually achieving results — whether it’s taking on corruption, passing ethics reform or stopping wasteful spending and the ‘bridge to nowhere.’  Senator Obama has spent his time in office running for President.” —Jill Hazelbaker, McCain Communications Director

Ouch, that has gotta hurt!

-Bruce (GayPatriot)

UPDATE (from Dan): How bone-headed is the Obama campaign. Its “first impulse” was to attack the first woman Governor tapped for a national ticket.  As ABCNews Jake Tapper (who so described the Obama campaign’s reaction) offers, “It was just yesterday McCain ran a TV ad congratulating Obama on his historic achievement.”

    I love that reference to “town of 9,000.” To the Democrats, if you don’t live in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, or San Francisco… you’re a dumb hick.

    P.S. I am enjoying this so much. The Democrats are arguing, in essence, that being Mayor of a City, followed by Governor of a State, is less experience for the Presidency than being a totally ineffective “community organizer” followed by first-tem Senator who has accomplished absolutely nothing except to run for President.

  4. ILoveCapitalism says

    August 29, 2008 at 2:44 pm - August 29, 2008

    And why is it sexist? Because the Democrats are saying, in essence, that the chick’s legitimate Governor qualifications count less than our man’s. Welcome, Hillary supporters.

    And, in the process, Obama is making it clear that he considers those gun-toting, religious, educated-at-a-state-school women with five kids and a working-class husband to be beneath him, lacking in intelligence, and certainly not competent.

    It’s official; the Messiah complex has finally overwhelmed what little political sense Obama had in the first place.

    It’s sad, if you think about it. Compare this to the classy ad McCain ran last night after Obama’s speech. Controversial issues aside, John McCain is an old-fashioned man, a gentleman. Clearly, there are none of those on Obama’s staff.

    August 29, 2008 at 3:15 pm - August 29, 2008

    You know… wouldn’t something like this have been a much more politically astute (as well as morally better) reaction from the Obama campaign?

    Today, John McCain created his party’s first female Vice Presidential nominee. We compliment him on finally taking an action that the Democrats took over twenty years ago. In weeks to come, we will have many things to say about Governor Palin’s record, as well as Senator McCain’s. As for today, we congratulate Governor Palin and welcome her to the campaign.

  9. North Dallas Thirty says

    August 29, 2008 at 3:18 pm - August 29, 2008

    Yes, it would; but remember, the Obamamessiah doesn’t need to be smart, politically astute, or even moral because he’s black.

    Meanwhile, as liberal Democrat Erik showed us over on the other thread, a party that openly hopes for hurricanes to hit the United States because it will be politically advantageous really has nothing left other than a rotting shell over a core of pure unadulterated lust for power.

    I would have thought Obama and his campaign would have learned by now not to be so clumsy when it comes to attacking a woman politican. The campaign already has this sense that is used sexist tactics, whether you agree or not, against Hillary and that the media only helped to pill on. Democrats need to win the female vote by a hefty number to win the election and I don’t see how this helps but add to the idea of Obama’s arrogance and less than nice attitude towards women.

    I thought it was really bitchy to say that, and it will come back to haunt him.

  11. sonicfrog says

    August 29, 2008 at 4:01 pm - August 29, 2008

    Obama’s comments are probably tame compared to the invective that are surely coming out of Hillary’s mouth.

  12. OutliciousTV says

    August 29, 2008 at 4:28 pm - August 29, 2008

    HAHA sonicfrog is right. I’m sure Hillary is swearing up a storm right now.

    I love watching the Obama campaign alienate small town America. They seem to forget you can’t win with only NYC, LA, SF etc.

  13. North Dallas Thirty says

    August 29, 2008 at 4:34 pm - August 29, 2008

    I’m sure Hilary is. This is her worst-case scenario; Obama loses and she’s facing a battle-ready female contender in 2012 who has her outflanked on every front.

    That was the only reason I wasn’t too wild about Palin; selecting her was going to unify the hateful harpies into the Obama Party more than anything else. But I also tend to be less convinced that all females who lean Democrat are nearly as psychotic as either Hillary or Pelosi, and that Palin will appeal to a large number of them who are sick of being taken for granted by misogynist Democrat males who think that dangling “pro-abortion” in front of women will make them overlook it.

    Karl Rove on Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine Vice-Presidential prospects:

    With all due respect again to Governor Kaine, he’s been a governor for three years

    Virginia is the 12th largest state in the country.

    Sarah Palin has been Governor of the 47th largest state for half the time Kaine has been Governor of Virginia.

    I don’t think people could really name a big, important thing that he’s done. He was mayor of the 105th largest city in America.

    Richmond, Virginia is a city of 200,000 people with a metro area of 1.2 million.

    Wasilla, Alaksa is a town of 5,000 people.

    And on Obama’s VP choice:

    He’s going to pick somebody that he thinks will on the margin help him in a state like Indiana or Missouri or Virginia. He’s not going to be thinking big and broad about the responsibilities of president.

    Except it was McCain who aimed for the margins.

    If Rove thought Kaine didn’t have the experience to be Vice-President, he must be thrilled wth Sarah Palin!

    Lets ignore the top of the ticket for a moment and concentrate on Palin vs. Biden. One of my big governmental pet pieves of the last sixteen has been the rapid expantion of the powers of the Vice President. I would love for either party to commit to adhering to the more traditional role of the office. OK. Pipe dream. People don’t realize how inflencial the office has become. So, now I ask, which person would I rather have as a modern VP? Which one looks like they would be less likely to reach out and grap even more powers? A washington inside? Well, the expansion of the office has taken place under the watch of two washington insiders, gore and Cheney. So chances are that Biden would only follow the trend.

    Palin? Unknown. But here is some video where she asks “just what does the VP do” (paraphrased)? Of course those on the left will say this indicates she doesn’t even know what the job of the VP is. That interpretation is completely out of context (of course). But it indicates (maybe) that her vision of the position is of a more traditional VP, with no real power except to break a tie, and boring compared to her curent position as governor. If that’s the case, I’m VERY happy with the pick.

    “My country has contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever
    the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived.”

    August 29, 2008 at 5:29 pm - August 29, 2008

    sonic, with a megalomaniac like McCain in charge, I think the office of VP is irrelevant unless he goes all William Henry Harrison on us.

  18. ILoveCapitalism says

    August 29, 2008 at 5:40 pm - August 29, 2008

    sonicfrog, I disagree in part. Especially in today’s world, the VP’s basic job is to be ready to take over the Presidency if needed. The VP should be involved in government, to the extent the sitting President wants it. I hope Palin is a “modern” VP and I believe she is up to it.

    V – “megalomaniac” is going too far, sorry. Is McCain misguided? prickly? over-confident on some of the wrong things? Yes. But let’s keep the MM word for Ahmadinejad.

  19. V the K says

    August 29, 2008 at 6:17 pm - August 29, 2008

    megalomaniac: noun a pathological egotist

    That loafer seems to be a snug, comfortable fit.

  20. ILoveCapitalism says

    August 29, 2008 at 6:22 pm - August 29, 2008

    “Pathological” means clinical mental illness. Is there such a thing as a non-pathological egotist, i.e., an egotist who is not clinically mentally ill? Gee, how about plain old “egotist”, i.e., not modified by “pathological”? That loafter fits McCain. Meanwhile, Ahmadinejad wants to nuke six million people and *that* is clinically mentally ill.

    So V, I am asking again: could you please reserve “megalomaniac” for the Kim Jong Ils and Ahmadinejads of the world?

  21. V the K says

    August 29, 2008 at 6:34 pm - August 29, 2008

    I think the only difference is in degree. What McCain and those guys have in common is the belief that anyone who disagrees with them, who sees the world differently than they do, is not just wrong but actually evil. That it is impossible to see the world differently from them unless your intentions are selfish and depraved. McCain displayed this view during both the Amnesty debacle and Campaign Finance Reform; where those who criticized him weren’t merely people with disagreements, but were corrupt, or racist, or opposed him only because they had black hearts.

  22. V the K says

    August 29, 2008 at 6:36 pm - August 29, 2008

    In fairness, though, I think only a megalomaniac would even want to run president.

  25. V the K says

    August 29, 2008 at 7:01 pm - August 29, 2008

    In that case the answer is “no.” It may have escaped your notice, but I really don’t care much for this McCain fellow.

    Feel free, however, to correct me on future occasions by pointing out that Keith Olbermann is not literally “a device used for vaginal irrigation.”

    sonicfrog, I disagree in part. Especially in today’s world, the VP’s basic job is to be ready to take over the Presidency if needed.

    Well Duh:-) That’s constitutional. While I agree that it’s good to have a hands-on VP, especially since that will help prepare for ascension, I will also submit that both Gore and Cheney have overstepped the bounds of their position. Consider that the VP constitutionally has only a few purposes – ascension to the Presidency in case of death or incapacitation, tie breaker in the Senate, and receiving the tally of the electoral college from the states. Anything else could be argued as an expansion of government, which I thing most of us are against.

    August 29, 2008 at 7:24 pm - August 29, 2008

    ummmmm…..so it’s ok for Republicans to attack Obama for his lack of experience, but for Democrats to do the same to Palin is simply sexist? that’s pretty twisted.

  28. ILoveCapitalism says

    August 29, 2008 at 7:29 pm - August 29, 2008

    V, it hasn’t escaped my notice. In case it hasn’t escaped your notice: calling mainstream Presidential candidates “megalomaniacs” is the kind of dark path taken by the Left with Bush, by that commentor you’ll remember with you (over immigration), etc., etc., etc. McCain is an egotist, not a megalomaniac. Not a good way to go. Even Obama is NOT a megalomaniac… just highly ignorant, shallow and arrogant.

  29. ILoveCapitalism says

    August 29, 2008 at 7:32 pm - August 29, 2008

    I will also submit that both Gore and Cheney have overstepped the bounds of their position.

    OK, how? Note that the President can delegate tasks and even some forms of authority to any staff member he wants to. And there is nothing in the Constitution that says the Veep can’t be one of those.

  30. ILoveCapitalism says

    August 29, 2008 at 7:34 pm - August 29, 2008

    (Of course only the President can sign bills, executive orders, etc. I’m not talking about that. But he can say, Sure, Dick or Joe or Sarah is authorized to de-classify stuff for me, to run this meeting or policy group, to give this speech, make this appearance, conduct this negotiation, etc.)

    Could we have a seperate thread to hash out experience and qualification issues?

  32. ILoveCapitalism says

    August 29, 2008 at 7:50 pm - August 29, 2008

    V, as for Keith Olbermann: I don’t care what you call him. I don’t care, because, he is the kind of guy who would…. ummmmm…. go around trying to call McCain (or other mainstream-ish American patriots) “megalomaniac”.

  33. V the K says

    August 29, 2008 at 7:50 pm - August 29, 2008

    calling mainstream Presidential candidates “megalomaniacs” is the kind of dark path taken by the Left with Bush

    I’m not afraid to go a step or two down that path. I would never say Bush Is Hitler, but I would make an argument that Bush is an elitist. I would never say McCain is a genocidal, insane, dictator. And, unlike our friend Andrew Sullivan, I won’t argue that McCain’s psychological torture at the hands of the Viet Cong make him unfit to be president (and then the next day argue that McCain’s imprisonment was no big deal and he should stop being a drama queen). But McCain as a megalomaniac, I think that shoe fits.

    FWIW, I think the left’s argument that McCain will be a third Bush term presents an interesting dilemma. McCain’s policies in some areas were distinctly different from Bush’s, until he started for president, when he had an election year conversion on taxes and judges. So, if you argue that McCain is going to be different than Bush based on his record, you have to concede that his “conversion” on these issues was insincere.

  34. ILoveCapitalism says

    August 29, 2008 at 7:54 pm - August 29, 2008

    McCain as a megalomaniac, I think that shoe fits

    So McCain is, not just an egotist, or even a grand egotist… but a clinically pathological egotist?

    I’m sorry V, but that’s nucking futs.

  35. V the K says

    August 29, 2008 at 8:48 pm - August 29, 2008

    Whether or not you agree with me semantically, the basic point that John McCain is too vain and egotistical to be influenced by anyone other than John McCain remains.

  36. ILoveCapitalism says

    August 29, 2008 at 9:17 pm - August 29, 2008

    A pathological egotist (megalomaniac) is the kind of person whose egotistical delusions grow to the point where they don’t hesitate to kill other people. In other words: Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong Il, Hitler, Stalin, Castro, Ho Chi Minh. McCain has spent his life protecting us from those people (as best he knows how) and doesn’t deserve the m-word from you, even if you disagree with on many issues – as do I.

    Kevin, if inexperience is the game, why did you guys give Hillary a total pass when she carpetbagged into New York with zero elected office experience?

    Obama is running for President. Palin is running for Vice-President. Obama wants to be the heartbeat in the Oval Office. Palin is running to be “a heartbeat away” from the Oval Office. Matching Obama to Palin, you soon discover that Palin has “extensive” executive experience compared to the subcommittee chair who never held a hearing.

    It is your clowncar of a party that is making an issue of Palin’s “inexperience.” Perhaps father Joe Biden from the teensy state of Delaware can explain the irony of the pot calling the kettle black to your clueless candidate.

    I love it. Let ’em. The more they change the subject to “experience”, the more they highlight the truth that OBAMA HAS NONE. It’s an argument they can’t win, or to put it another way, an argument that ends in McCain-Palin victory.

    August 30, 2008 at 1:55 am - August 30, 2008

    My mother saw an interview with one of Obama’s political reps who said, “Palin has five children. One of which is a newborn. Shouldn’t SHE be at home.”
    Has anyone else seen or heard this? How dare they!!
    Oh but he was raised by a single parent-NOT! Maybe not married but, certainly not single. How many single parents can travel country to country and afford private school?

    August 30, 2008 at 2:11 am - August 30, 2008

    All of this narrow discussion comparing Palin’s experience to Obama’s and Biden’s relies on the erroneous assumption that Obama’s biggest problem is inexperience. But executive inexperience is only ONE of a multitude of gigantic problems that disqualify him from being President. I don’t care how much experience he has–he’s a naive, elitist, left-wing socialist. His beliefs being unleashed on this country from the White House would be disastrous. And to conceal it, he’s flip-flopped on EVERY major issue. Palin, on the other hand, isn’t hiding anything. Her positions are well known and the voters already know what she stands for. That’s why the pick was so successful–no one is reserving judgment because they have to “get to know the candidate.” Either Palin shares a voters beliefs or doesn’t. That’s it. Meanwhile, Obama has been campaigning non-stop for a year and has failed to take an unequivocal position on ANYTHING.

  42. ILoveCapitalism says

    August 30, 2008 at 9:19 am - August 30, 2008

    Sean, I mostly agree. Note it’s the Obambots / Obammunists who are trying to change the subject to experience – away from Obama’s awful beliefs and policies, terrible judgment in friends, etc. Their heads are so far up their rear ends that they think “experience” is a subject that will work for them now. I’m just laughing.

    You republicans are crazy. You guys think that Sarah Palin is more experienced and sucessful than Obama?? Obama has been in the Senate for almost 8 years. And been in Washington for almost 13. And uh excuse me Palin only has ALMOST 2 years of being a governer & mayor and accomplished a little bit in her life. You republicans never go for the facts. Only opinions. Thats why OBAMA & BIDEN WILL win on november 4h cause they understand the american people and the facts. You guys think McCain will help the middle class(which may include you)??? How can one help the middle class if he has never been or experinced what it feels like to be a middle class person….doesnt that sound like someone elses story oh………..BUSH. He’s more of the same. So i can cleary see you guys honestly dont care about others or yourself because you guys are going to vote for someone that YOU know that is JUST LIKE BUSH.(really sad) I guess this nation will go down by having voters like you. *OBAMA&BIDEN 08* (not because they are democrats because im an independant…its because they understand the struggle of the american people) (unlike the republicans)

    If Obama was elected to the senate in 2004, and it’s now 2008, how does that add up to 8 years in the Senate and 13 years in Washington?

    Do the powers of the Uhbamassiah now extend to control over space time, or is it just another math-illiterate project of the Chicago Public Schools?

    I also don’t get how Obama, the community organizer with the million dollar house bought with the help of the sleazy convicted felon slumlord and his wife with her 317K affirmative action job add up to typical middle class Americans, unless the American middle class is dying for an arugula subsidy to help out with the cost of getting groceries at whole foods. Didn’t Michelle Obama whine about having to pay $10,000 for her kids piano lessons? Yeah, typical middle class concern, that is.

    And then there’s Joe Biden, a guy who’s been in the senate long enough to have shown John McCain how to find the cafeteria on the first day. Yeah, no way he’s out of touch. Not to mention, Joe Biden has been in the Senate long enough to be wrong about the Soviet Union, wrong about the first Gulf War, and wrong about Iraq.

  45. North Dallas Thirty says

    August 30, 2008 at 1:22 pm - August 30, 2008

    Obama has been in the Senate for almost 8 years. And been in Washington for almost 13.

    Considering he was first elected to the United States Senate in 2004, that’s quite an accomplishment, given that it’s only 2008.

    #43: “its because they understand the struggle of the american people) (unlike the republicans)”

    Are you an American? Do you live in this country? “The struggle of the American people?” What does that even mean? You paint the US as a nation of 300 million victims. Do we spend our days waiting in bread lines? Where did you get such a warped and utterly false picture of this country. The US is the most prosperous and generous nation in recorded history, period. It is not a nation of “Haves” and “Have Nots,” as you seem to think it is. And no, dim-wit, I’m not voting for McCain because I think he’ll “help” the middle class–he knows that not raising taxes HELPS EVERYONE. All your BS about “helping” and “struggle” reeks of the useless handout/entitlement policies that started in the 1960s and nearly destroyed this country (particularly minorities). And now you want Obama to bring all that failed nonsense back. If that does happen, well, then you really will see the American people struggling.

    Sadly, sonicfrog, I doubt it. Apparently we are all doomed little creatures right out of a Steinbeck novel, desperately trying to scrape out an existence where our survival hangs in the balance. I would say “where do they get this stuff?” but I know exactly where they get it. It comes from the class-warfare propaganda upon which the core ideals of the Democratic Party are based. Nobody gets rich without scores of others getting poor. Prosperity is a zero-sum game.

    I’m still disgusted by that expression–“the struggle of the American people” YUCK! How about “the struggle of the Georgian people” or “the struggle of the Iraqi people under Hussein”? THAT’S struggle. But to the idiot that left that comment, “struggle” in the US means “somebody else has more than me.” It’s socialist propaganda and people who spread it are detestable.

    Sorry, but my house isn’t going into foreclosure, because it’s paid for; plus, I paid my college bills by working during college and earning scholarships for academics and athletics, and I have excellent health insurance. Perhaps if you were educated and had English and mathematics skills, you could have the same.

    Number of international agreements Palin has negotiated: One. (Gas pipeline with Canada.)

    Number of international agreements Biden has negotiated: **ZERO**.

    Biden has **NO** real experience in foreign affairs… just 3x years of bullsh*tting. Palin, today, is more qualified to be President than Biden.

    It’s rather doubtful that you have the same story, given your demonstrated inability to count, your failure to reference your claims, and your complete aversion to proper grammar, spelling, and capitalization.

    Are the people responding to this statement really serious? The selection of the next president is about who can set a vision for our country and pull together a team of the best to get the hard work ahead of us done. Most of the real work of Washington comes from government employees who are talented and highly qualified for their work; most of who are promoted based upon time spent in the trenches. Each time a new party or president is elected, what changes it the vision and mission of our country and the direction that resources allocated. Many factors play a role in the decisions of what must be done, because for every action there is a counter-action of which most are predictable. During this time, the persons who can best synthesis all of the parts and troubleshoot the counter-actions is the person who should be president. Values control the direction (hence, small town, big city or international….core values impact judgment…and your address has nothing to do with your values and commitment to the principles established from those values); thought and thoughtfulness directly frames the decision with consideration for the counter-action (hence, broad vs. myopic/narrow perspectives determines if we invest $10 billion in our infrastructure, education and future or continue to re-build a wealthy country in hopes of getting the oil that their “evil” leader who is now dead promised.)

    Just food for thought my fellow Americans….thought… about your vote!

    Of course the media has coddled Obama and thrown obstacles in the path of McCain and Palin. They trashed Hillary too. Just read the ongoing biased headlines and articles on CNN’s website … and the way CNN’s Jack Cafferty belittles Palin every chance he gets. CNN also moderates its blogs in favor of Obama, then closes comments after they load the posts with Obama bias. Also, slim balls like Daily KOS, Huffington, and US Weekly have shown gross bad judgement in their reporting. These irresponsible media sources have lost touch with objectivity, fair reporting, and responsible journalism.

    I think that the charge that sexism has been used against both Clinton and Palin overblown. Sure, there WAS some sexism directed at Clinton during the primary–but there were other reasons she lost. Her campaign managers made crucial errors, she started out feeling that she was the inevitable choice for the nomination, and she got really ugly during the campaign.
    Even though she said some outrageous things during the course of the nomination process, those things rankled and made it an Obama-Clinton team impossible.

    With Palin, there have been snide remarks about her appearance and disparagement of the fact that she has been a beauty contestant. Those things ARE sexist.
    However, her reactionary views–which are antithetical
    to Clinton’s–are definitely fair game–as they will have a major impact on all of us should her team win in November. So is the fact that she is the target of investigations in Alaska.

    I am one woman who is voting for Barack Obama, so I wish some of my fellow supporters would not get arrogant and disparage the woman’s state or hometown.
    After all, Alaskans vote too–so, it is the height of idiocy
    to put down anyone’s place of origin. It’s not where one comes from, but what one is doing with his/her one life.

    Racism & Sexism, deal with it, a lot of people do it. STOP CRYING ABOUT IT!!! Obama dealt with the race issue and will continue to deal with it and Palin needs to deal with the woman issue. And of course McCain will have to deal with the old issue as Biden will have to deal with the @$$hole issue. I’m proud of my stereo-types and biases because 99.9% of the time I am right!!! Men are sex-mongering @$$holes, women are manipulative whining hypocrites, blacks are rude & lazy, whites are greedy & corny, all Hispanics are illegal aliens, and Asians make the best electronics. God Bless America!!!
