Obama vs. Obama (VIDEO)
More video evidence that “hope” and “change” really mean “typical politician.” The man has flip flopped more than John Kerry did in 2004.

Scared
It is clear that the left (the media, the Obama campaign, the nut roots) is scared of Sarah Palin, but beyond that they don’t even know how to react to her. The pure excitement and momentum building on the Republican side is palpable, and the left is doing anything they can to deflate it. But, according to a great article at Politico, the Obama campaign is going to try and wait it out:
The Obama campaign has no silver bullet to use against the Palin. Instead, Obama has decided to largely avoid directly engaging her and will instead keep his focus largely on John McCain and on linking the Republican ticket to President George W. Bush. The Obama campaign will leave Palin to navigate the same cycle of celebrity that Obama has weathered, and the same peril that her nascent image will be defined by questions and contradictions from her Alaska past.
Well now that I see she’ll be left to the same criticism and scrutiny that the media has subjected Obama to, I’m starting to really feel for her.
By the way, the brilliant strategy they’re brewing up over there...women:
But Obama has begun to unleash a new set of surrogates — all of them women — to challenge Palin. In the primary, female senators delivered some of the Obama campaign’s attacks against Hillary Clinton, providing a certain level of immunization against allegations of sexism or bullying sometimes leveled
by Clinton backers.
That may help them a bit, but it’s not going to work. The problem for them is not who is doing the attacking, but the subject of those attacks. Sarah Palin is truly a fresh face in politics and she has the conservative base dancing in the streets. And as for the 18,000,000 that voted for Hillary, picking Palin won’t bring them all over to the Republican ticket...but she just might move enough!
