Obama: "I mean come on! They must think you're stupid!"

[kpete]

I mean come on! They must think you're stupid!

I mean, maybe what they're saying is 'watch out George Bush' you know except for economic policies, and tax policies, and energy policies, and health care policies, and education policies, and Karl Rove style of politics – except for all that, we're really going to bring change to Washington! We're gonna shake things up! What are these guys talking about? Do you think we haven’t been paying attention over the past 8 years?

(Obama then went point by point through education, tax policy, energy policy and health care telling voters why McCain’s version of change is not change like the kind he will bring.)

I know the governor of Alaska has been, you know, saying she is change. And that is great. She is a skillful politician. But when you been taking all these earmarks when it is convenient and then suddenly you are the champion anti-earmark person. That is not change, come on. I mean, words mean something. You can't just make stuff up. You can’t just make stuff up. We have a choice to make and the choice is clear.

Don't be fooled. These are the folks who have been in charge. John McCain's party, with the help of John McCain, has been in charge.

7. We're not stupid, but

there are a lot of stupid people out there.

Like the GOP convention-goer who told Samantha Bee that "being in favor of choice is not the same as pro-choice."

11. This is the mentality we're up against

As someone said on another thread -- The cognitive dissonance out there is so strong, it could warp the fabric of the universe.

6. So glad he's going there...preying on mental laxity has always been the Republican plan

It's a wake-the-fuck-up moment for America. Either they get it, or they're gonna get it.
