Defending oneself is not "attacking"...
I am so sick and tired of the punditry group speak and Hillary/McSame talking point used when saying Obama is attacking when he is only defending himself.

These people are trying to put this candidate in an ass kicking contest with both arms and one leg tied behind his back. It's ridiculous. This man is being attacked by both of these people and when he tries to respond all of them throw in the word "attack" and how he is breaking his pledge to run a "different" campaign.

What is it about people that feel they are entitled to an uneven playing field so long as it tilts in the best direction for them?

1. What's happening, you see, is these are all the same people who
were saying last week that Obama needed to go on the offensive - to run a negative campaign, if he wanted to make any headway against Hillary.

He didn't oblige them, so they're stuck with just SAYING he did.

3. My issue is...
how when Obama does defend himself and rightfully so, his opponents accuse him of going back on his "pledge" to run a clean campaign. I look for this stale argument to be used by McSame in the fall campaign.
