McCain Aide: Obama Is Stubborn Like Bush

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/16/mccain-aide-obama-is-stub_n_113098.html

Describing Obama's plan as dangerously rigid and ideological, McCain national security adviser Randy Scheunemann compared the Illinois Democrat to the current Oval Office occupant.

"I think the American people have had enough of stubbornness and inflexibility in national security policy," he said.

If the analogy was too obscure, Scheunemann followed it up with something a bit more overt. "In July 2004, (Obama) said there is not too much a difference between my position and George W Bush's position on the war."

The charge, of course, is not related to policy (on which Obama and Bush drastically differ) but rather ideological rigidity. But the suggestion that Obama is too stubborn to change his position on Iraq is a bit ironic coming from a McCain campaign that, as recently as one week ago, jumped all over the Senator for saying he would "refine" his position. Aides to the Arizona Republican - who, it should be noted, has stuck rigidly to his policy on troop withdrawal - said that an op-ed published by Obama in the New York Times on Monday proved that (regardless of what he sees upon visiting Iraq) the presumptive Democratic nominee is wedded to specific war strategies. And it is in that regard, they argue, that he is Bush-like.

1. McCain Staff Confused Again - Flip Flopper or Stubborn?

I guess they just flip a coin each morning regarding what is the talking point of the momemnt regardless of whether it directly contradicts yesterday's talking point.

Its almost as bad as the Obama is Ruthless versus Obama is Obambi confusion.

3. I'm amazed they can make these comments with a straight face...

...but maybe they're just working the P.T. Barnum "there's a sucker born every minute" logic.

5. Note to Randy Scheunemann. Using those 'refrigerator magnet poetry' kits

to string together sentences into talking points is not an effective campaign tactic.
