McCain needs to let Obama finishes his sentences, otherwise what will McCain have to repeat as though it's his own idea?
Thanks Claire.
Obama has counter punched like a champ so far. He is making a clear case that McCain is running for the top 2% (small biz owners that makes more than $250K) and driving the point home that he's cutting taxes for 95% of all working Americans.
So far, he's perfect.
Who does Joe the Plumber expect will be his customers? Without some redistribution, there are fewer customers. The wealth disparity implies not much in the broad middle.
My oldest friend does work at Joe's level, and has had no work since spring, in Chevy Chase and Bethesda, MD. Owning that business is moot, at the moment.
We're all plumbers now Tom.
What's Joe's gross? If that tubby fool is netting over 250K I'd be shocked.
McCain is a bit disjointed. He did get the "Share the wealth" bit in.
A hatchet then a scalpal. Ha!
Ready. Fire. Aim.
I have a plan; boy does that sound creepily familiar.
Nixon with an anger problem.
Here he goes again with the overhead projector!
Stop your stinking "I know better than you, whippersnapper" smiling!
I don't think a scalpel will do much good after you've cut off your leg with a hatchet.
McCain keeps picking up that Sharpie like a scalpel....look out!
Now he's getting pissed.. Im not President Bush.....
New math. 92 becomes 2?
That was pretty good line about running against Bush 4 years ago.
My name is Joe, I am a plumber and I don't mind paying a little extra so kids can go to the planetarium and see with their own eyes that Earth is not flat.
Excellent!
McPain's supporters must be getting a hard on with his attacks.
Yes it was politigirl.. its going to a tougher fight for O
Scars to prove it, that's subtle.
Did McCain just say he opposed the Iraq War?
"WHen it comes to economic policies, essentially what you're proposing is eight years of the same thing" -- BOOM, there it is. Actually, it's somewhat less true in that these days McCain doesn't KNOW what he's proposing from one hour to the next, so who the hell knows if it will continue the Bush policies or not?
The War in Iraq which "I vigorously opposed"???? What?
The Republicans scarred McCain???
Oh, show the scars, Please, please, please.
I never liked the notion that Obama needed to be tougher, but I think he may need to bring it tonight.
SHIEFFER GOES THERE!!
Am I crazy or is he countering McCain beautifully?! He is clear and coherent in all his counterattacks.
Door's open, McCain ...
McCain is really coming off like an angry old man.
He has used that scars line about a dozen times.
Here we go!
No town hall meetings—that's why I did it. It's Obama's fault.
OMG, the TOWN HALLS are to blame for the "nasty turn"!!
"Because he didn't play my games by my rules, I had to go negative"
Why would Obama stand up to his party if he thinks they're right?
George Wallace. He's about to CRY!!!!
Right, the tone would have been different because .... of TOWN HALLS Obama disagreed to do.
And of course the revisionist history of who started this negative shit! Fucking McCain!
I can't wait to hear Obama's response to this.
Cue the violins.
I wouldnt have done the town halls either. Never fight on the others guys turf. Too wasy to put in plants..
waaaah! waaaaah! waaaaah!
"Every time there has been an outbounds remark by a Republican I have repudiated it!" Well, why don't we start with your running mate.
Hi Claire :)
