Obama Team Counter-Response to McCain Camp

“We don’t need any lectures from a campaign that waited fifteen months to purge the lobbyists from their staff, and only did so because they said it was a ‘perception problem. It’s too bad their campaign is still rife with lobbyist influence and doesn’t see a similar ‘perception problem’ with the man currently running their own vice presidential selection process, a prominent DC lobbyist whose firm has represented Exxon and a top Enron executive, or their campaign chair and John McCain’s top economic adviser Carly Fiorina, who presided over thousands of layoffs at Hewlett Packard while receiving a $21 million severance package and $650,000 in mortgage assistance,” said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton.

1. Boom!

[flpoljunkie]

15. Perfect timing for exposing Carly Fiorina--since the media has been mute about her stint at HP

[TheWraith]

16. Couldn't have said it better myself.

What makes Obama and his crew a great campaign is that when they're attacked, rather than trying to pivot away to something they'd rather talk about, they grab the attack and swing it back at the opponent, hard.

[redqueen]

17. Amen!

It's SO nice to see our candidate's team giving back *better* than they get... get hit with slime or stupidity, serve back a serious body-blow on *issues*.

[Tatiana]

27. Shakalaka....

:rofl:

[FrenchieCat]

2. That's what I'm talking about......

Now, let's see what the media does with it.

I just emailed this statement to those I just had emailed about Gramm, another McCain Lobbyist!

21. Thanks Frenchie for writing this email to the m$$m

here's hoping it doesn't fall on deaf, coporate propagandist, ears.

[rateyes]

3. Damn, they're quick on the hit backs...

Gotta love 'em.

[Kerrytravelers]

4. I think the Swiftboaties will get one hell of a surprise this year.

The O-Team is ready and waiting for them.

[Tarheel_Dem]

5. These guys are not gonna sit still for "swiftboating", and that tickles

the hell outta me. I can't believe that someone implicated in a big ass scandal like the Keating Five would even broach the subject of the opposition's integrity. McCain should fasten his seatbelt, cause he's in for one helluva ride.

[libnnc]

6. kick

for kicking ass

:kick:

[Colobo]

7. Obama is counterpunching beautifully.

[Stingo]

19. It's too easy, though

The McCain folks are lobbing the balls in there, and even a weekend athelete like Barack can smack them out of the park.

[Indenturedebtor]

23. Myes a weekend Athelete who triumphed with one of the best primary fields in history

[phrigndumass]

8. Obama campaign is organized! Great rapid response team!

:thumbsup:

[Barack_America]

9. Impeccable oppo research like that brings a tear to my eye. nt

[slinkerwink]

10. damn!

[Rick Myers]

11. This Onion story says it all!!!

http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/mccain_late_to_debate_due

By the time the GOP gets to St. Paul, McCain will have to drive himself to his nomination...

[eleny]

12. “We don’t need any lectures from a campaign that...."

How I like the sound of that smack down.

K&R :kick:

[Fleshdancer]

13. These idiots actually believe that the Obama campaign only focused on Clinton all these months

Obama's team has been doing their homework and it shows. :bounce:

[maddezmom]

14. wow, McCain sure is stepping in it

:D Good on Obama

[Stingo]

18. Picking on Carly

A few investors at HP would like to do so. I've heard people tout her for McCain's Veep choice. Like that's going to happen. . .

[Cha]

20. Nicely written, Team Obama!

carly fiorina sounds like a piece of work.

[NotThisTime]

28. Too bad from what I have heard MSNBC is only playing McSame, not the campaign response....

[flpoljunkie]

32. Yet, they leapt to defend McCain over and over on the 100 year occupation of Iraq

[PM7nj]

22. When are they going to bring out the big guns: Phil Gramm!

That guy is a sleaze ball and McCain needs to be held responsible.

[NotThisTime]

29. And nobody knows about it, that guys in so deep even wading boots wouldn't help him!

[cbc5g]

24. Now..to get this to the media which seems to attack Obama every day

Over shit that isn't nearly as bad as what McCain has.

[dazzlerazzle]

25. Carly on jobs

When trying to defend outsourcing, I believe she said something like "No American has a God given right to a job" showing what a heartless human being she really is.

[On the Road]

26. Carly Fiorina

is not the person you want as the face of your campaign.

A lot of Americans don't know her name, but business people do, and she is something of a joke.

[harun]

30. Nice !!!!

[dionysus]

31. the rapid response team we have is sweet.

:)
