I'm disappointed that Obama campaign didn't run a commercial about the "community organizer" attack.

I'm disappointed that Obama campaign didn't run a commercial about the "community organizer" attack.
I know the campaign made the decision to ignore her, but this attack is one that almost anyone but the most diehard Republicans would find offensive. And, the commerical could show some of the inspirational people(MLK, Ghandi, Katrina supporters, the Red Cross, etc..) in front of McCaint's VP and Guiliani's remarks. How could you lose with an ad like that?

I mean WTF!! Am I wrong?

5. I disagree. They want Obama to 'take the bait' by forcing him to be defensive about
the community organizer issue so that they can make his record all about that rather than all the great things he's done. It's a distraction tactic so that McSame doesn't have to focus on more salient issues.

The Repukes want to take Obama's greatest strength--as a community organizer and brilliance at bringing people together--and belittle it, twisting it as something negative.

THEY HAVE NOTHING!!

I think Obama is wise to not take the bait and not be on the defense.

He is clearly on the offense for the past few days, taking the fight straight to McSame. McSame is hiding behind Palin and trying to make this about her and trivial issues.

6. I think we, the people, need to rise up and shout this one down.
It needs to be a roar from all of us who do volunteer work and work for nonprofits or church groups that carry out the work with the poor. It needs to come from those who organize the emergency response systems for their towns. It needs to come from the nurses and doctors who staff the free clinics.

A gigantic roar....maybe the power of organizing could be illustrated by rallying community organizers in cities and towns all across the nation.

7. It may make you feel good...
but there is no way to convince the Sheeple that Community Service is a resume for POTUS. He needs to run on his charisma and Senate time.

And he is NOT running against Palin. Get it? That is like picking on your foes little brother. He needs to stay clear of her. Biden should be fighting her.

Where is Joe?

11. It's started already and will evolve into a giant ROAR
with Community Organizers making their statement with their feet on the ground ending up at the voting booth in November.

9. Obama doesn't need to respond to her childish digs because
he is not running against her and it puts him on the defensive. He needs to concentrate on putting McCain on the defensive.

10. I think it would be nice if they
came out and defended all community organizers.
