Obama's Camp Responds!

Filed under: Barack Obama > John McCain > Sarah Palin

wenn1995654.jpg

So, what does Team Barack think about John McCain's choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his Vice Presidential running mate.

Well, Obama's spokesperson, Bill Burton, says:

"Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency," Obama spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement.

Burton also criticized Palin as a vice presidential pick for her support of oil drilling in the Alaskan wilderness and her anti-abortion stance, referring to the 1973 Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal in the United States.

"Governor Palin shares John McCain's commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush's failed economic policies. That's not the change we need, it's just more of the same," he said.

So, that's what they say.

What do U say????

    "HERE! HERE!"

  4. 4

    agreed 100%…

  5. 5

    its funny that the republican vp nominee has the same amount of experience as the democratic candidate for president. And once again the democrats show their clear misunderstanding of small town America…basically what he said was a town of 9,000 people is not important

  6. 6

    That's still more experience than the obamassiah…Mr. 140 days of service.

  7. 7

    I bet they'll say that Perez Hilton needs to stop posting comments about us and shift focus back to Cristi Ronaldo, Chase Crawford, and Beckham, and of course lezlo and saMAN

    I totally agree. This decrepit old man geezer chooses a woman with no experience other than being the mayor of a small town and 2 short years in the governor's office to possibly be the leader of the free world. He was the one harping on Obama's lack of foreign policy experience and now he chooses someone with NO experience! What a dumbass!!!!

  9. 9

    I am fucking tired of this bull shit…either way we are screwed…andy lets fuck

  10. 10

    Yeah I'm definatly pro-choice and women who arn't pro-choice are just kinda weird in my opinion, but they really do need to drill in Alaska, I hope that goes through, I have a bunch of family that lives up there and all of the people want it to happen to bring more revenue to Alaska and also the fact that at the place they want to drill…there's nothing fucking there!

  11. 11

    I say: CAN'T WAIT FOR NOVEMBER WHEN YOUR SORRY ASS WALKS AWAY A LOSER, OSAMA!!!!

  12. 12

    obama is a fucking joke his whole campaign is fueled by the slogan "CHANGE" because hes black. Now Obama and his team are pissed because they arent the only ones who would change america drastically if they win. he DOESSNT have experience and and palin has way more than him. being a governor is like being a president of a state. obama's fame and his supporters who are blinded his fantastic public speaking ability and his race, they dont even see that his tax plan sucks and his credit card plan will create more problems in the economy. If you want to see for yourself go on his website.
    mccan/palin 08 bitchesssssssssss

  13. 13


    Vice president with no experience.. or… President with no experience?
    .
    What's worse here?
    .
    Besides, McCain has over 20 years in politics, maybe we should focus on that as well.

  14. 14

    There should NOT be oil drilling in the USA I think we should use other countries resources. Most of all I think going green and using natural energy is the way to go!

  15. 15

    that she has more experience than obama

  16. 16

    i hope obama kicks their ass. the only reason mccain chose a woman is for publicity.

  17. 17

    I say Obama is correct.. More of the same bullshiz…

  18. 18

    umm hello, obama has nearly zero foreign policy experience

  19. 19

    obamas camp just pissed off a lot of small town america.. BAHAHAHA good job

  20. 20

    the state of alaska has a population of less than one million…..the CITY of chicago has a population of over 2.8 million. I realize that she has executive experience. But that is like comparing the CEO of a small local company to a CEO of a fortune 500 company.

  21. 21

    Once again: She is just a puppet! How dare she allow herself to be used! She is a shame to all women! The republicans are only using her to take the limelight off Obama! It is seriously disgusting! She should have closed her legs or used protection, having a child at 44 is irresponsible, now the child has to lead a life of hardship thanks to his stupid pro-life mother!

  22. 22

    Perfect - directly addresses the problems with both McCain and Palin

  23. 23

    Just as I expected, Obama comes out bashing and hating while McCain politely extends his congratulations on McCain accepting the Democratic nomination.

  24. 24

    Re: Andy27 – You ignorant Fuck.

    That's all i'll say.

  25. 25

    I heard she's the girl playing the Star Wars theme on the trumpet at the beauty pageant……..ALLEGEDLY.

  26. 26

    …whatever….she has more experience than Jo-Bama put together…Obama has NEVER ran ANYTHING….atleast she has…many things….

  27. 27

    Politics are in the same boat as religion. Lies to confuse society. Nothing will change, nothing…

  28. 28

    We need a CHANGE!!!! OBAMA 08!!!

  29. 29

    Obama/Biden '08!!!!!

    fuckin idiots!!! when is this government going to stop making decisions that can destroy citizens' lives. if i want to have an abortion, it should be up to me, not anybody else. especially old mccain

  31. 31

    I saw either way we're in trouble for the next four years.

  32. 32

    I live in alaska and i like her as a gov. Obama is right. She's not right for the job! Hillary must be even more pissed now!

  33. 33

    TEAM OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!! FLYGIRL U A LOSER. LOVE YOU P NASTY

  34. 34

    btw Palin is a hottie!

  35. 35

    Re: KayKay!!!Re: abercorey – Ok, this is ridiculous. Why is Mr. GossipGangsta trying to shove politics down our throats? With all the shit going on on Robertson Boulevard, surely there's a Paris Hilton Kitson trip we need to be informed on, or Miley's latest trip to Starbucks. SOMETHING!!! Those are more, pressing matters. This election is the biggest circus ever, and you know what, poor Osama will have his chance at president whisked away from him just like Al Gore did. Imma laugh real hard, then.

  36. 36

    Right on the money, I would say.

    What's Obama's foreign policy experice? He'd ACTUALLY be president!

  38. 38

    Re: perezzluv
    LMAO. Right on!
    Palin as as much experience as Obama … and he's running for President!!!

    AMEN!

  39. 39

    Umm…she's been a mayor since 1992…been in "executive" positions. I think that counts. And they shouldn't insult mayor like that. Like he can talk, because he has all the foreign policy experience. Obama wants hold to hold N.Korea, Russia, & China and sing kum-ba-ya.

  40. 40

    What I find strange is that McCain seems to totally be forgetting this his ultra-conservative males who make up his voting bloc will not tolerate a woman in power.
    -
    - Oh, oh, I have the worst thought — the truth is, these last years the white house has bee run by Cheney, Rove, etc. — and those same ultra conservative/ultra rich are shaking in their boots since McCain's a loose cannon — are they thinking of bumping him off so they can have a novice in the white house???? Creepy thougth, can't believe that crossed my mind.

  41. 41

    If John McCain thinks he can woo former Hillary supporters just because his running mate has a vagina, he is sorely mistaken, and he's completely missed the point. Can you imagine this woman taking over the Presidency when John McCain keels over from old age in the middle of his term?! HAY-ull no! You might be a nice lady, Sarah Palin, but you are NO Hillary Clinton.

  42. 42

    Actually, she taxed profits of oil companies which is filling Alaska's treasury. Take that Exxon/Mobil!!

  43. 43

    Biden, change, now who is talking out their ass!

  44. 44

    Re: Ms. McGillicutty
    WELL SAID!!!

  45. 45

    Re: holla for a dolla – Speak for yourself… I'm as small town america as they come… and I still support Obama over the guy that uses his POW status as his selling point… The only reason McCain shows Palin is that he's trying to get Hilary's backers…. Well, sorry… anti-gay? (Look like someone's trying to take a step BACK in time) anti-choice? Trying to overturn Roe vs. Wade? Screw that… no one is telling me what to do with my own body. Do I support abortion/ no… not personally.. but i wont tell others what to do.

  46. 46

    Im pro-choice, but i agree that roe v. wade needs to be overturned. its unconstatutional. State should trump fed. Not vice versa.

  47. 47

    THE GOOD GUYS ALWAYS WIN

  48. 48

    good for him….McCain is toast.

  49. 49

    Re: perezzluv – i agree! they're totally contradicting themselves! i support mccain/palin totally!

  50. 50

    sounds to me like someone is scared…nice move mccain!!! go team mccain!!!

    Re: Andy27 – If you don't like it don't read. Do something about it other than just bitch, which seems like the only thing you are good at.

    Re: Lizilicious
    So, you're saying we should continue to allow ourselves to be manhandled by foreign oil companies? Why not get local oil, and create more jobs for AMERICANS?!
