Obama Dismisses Sexism Complaints From McCain-Palin Campaign as ‘Working the Refs’

Button seen around GOP convention
“Hottest VP from the COolest State”
Cries of sexism from the GOP are hypocritical.

Didn’t Obama also try to portray the Clintons as racist during the Primary? No wonder Bill Clinton was running around Denver behind the scenes calling him a Chicago thug.

He is right on , and the funny part THE WIMPY PRESS is playing into the McCain campaign charge , Bet the MCCain camp have their feet up LAUGHING saying SUCKERS.

Good point Obama….and I have looked at her resume and yours and you fall short, especially at the top of your ticket. You have had months of this celebrity ride, and now Gov. Palin will have a about 8 weeks. Not alot of time.
I saw the press q and a and BO seems rattled and angrier than usual. He did not see this Governor coming.
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN/PALIN

Thank you, that is so big of you Obama and I have made my judgement. I am not voting for your SEXIST campaign against Hillary Clinton and all of her supporters. You have matured in the last month. What a waste of those other 8.

Amazing how whiney the “straight talk express” has gotten since the shined up knob going by Steve Schmidt has taken the helm. Has McCain or Palin answered a direct question from the press in the last several weeks without hushed huddles of “advisors” whatever you need to call them.
Palin is a pathetic hack who isn’t qualified for anything outside of her little end-times loving tongue speaking cult, oops, I mean church.

Didn’t Obama also say that Hillary’s “claws come out” when she’s tired? Of course Obama wouldn’t recognize sexism when he sees it. He’s part of the problem.

I volunteer vacations and week ends to help Habitat for Humanity. Also, I am a registered Republican. Gov. Palin remarks last night made fun not only of Sen Obama, but also of me and my fellow volunteers. I consider myself part of a group of community organizers who strive to make life just a little better for those less fortunate. I will not be voting for the McCain/Pain ticket. I suppose since my volunteering is consider beneath the GOP, I will cast my lot with the Democrats.

Barack Obama also told a reporter months ago that he was sure Hillary voters would support him as the nominee, but he was not certain his supporters would do the same for her. We’ll see about that . ..

The Clintons made themselves look like racists Kayv not Barack. They did themselves harm by pushing buttons of some of the finatics in this room commenting on these meanspirted Repubs. This lady is nothing more that a pretty face to distract from a feeble old man. The are great tactics that the Repubs are masters at.

The lowest point in the coverage of Sarah Palin was when Mark Shields on PBS pointed out that Bristol is now the most famous pregnant 17-year old in the country. His assertion was that Sarah Palin is a bad mother because she chose to put her daughter in a position where she would be subjected to scrutiny. Mark Shields has been pro-Obama from Day 1. Everything out of this man’s mouth is designed to make Obama look good and everyone else look bad. Shields also trashed Hillary every chance he got.

Okay, so if Palin was chosen to distract from how old McCain is, according to Alex. Why did the Dems pick an Old Man? What are they trying to distract from BO? Everything?

$27 MILLION – The amount of federal pork Mayor Palin brought to tiny Wasilla, Alaska (pop. < 7000)
$700 MILLION – The amount of federal pork Governor Palin brought to dripping with oil production tax Alaska (pop. 700,000)
$1700 – Payment to every resident of Alaska: man, woman and child, coming from oil production taxes.
August 4, 2008 – Date of press release from Governor Palin PRAISING Barack Obama's energy policy (still available in Google's cache – just google "Palin praised Obama energy")
So what was Mayor Sara Palin's favorite hobby: HUNTING FOR FEDERAL PORK
She was for the 'bridge to nowhere' when running for Governor. She supported the earmark for this project and only changed her position when it became a national embarassment — BUT KEPT THE MONEY FOR OTHER PORK PROJECTS.
She visited tiny Ketchikan Alaska and said it was demeaning to call their project 'the bridge to nowhere'. But when she appeared with John McCain, she used the same phrase!

SO HIS RECORD IS UNDER SCRUTINY? SINCE WHEN? HE CAN’T COMPLETE A CLEAR SENTENCE WHEN NOT IN FRONT OF A TELEPROMPTER AND GETS MAD WHEN THE PRESS ASKS HIM QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS ASSOCIATIONS.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? SO HOW IS ZEROBAMA GONNA RAISE HIS BABIES IF HE IS ON THE ROAD? FUNNY HOW HIS HAIR IS GETTING MORE AND MORE GRAY AND THOSE DISGUSTING TIES AND STUFFED SUITS,I THINK HE NEEDS A NEW CLOTHING LINE. AND HOW IS MICHELE FLITTING ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH TWO SMALL BABIES???
OH I FORGOT HIS MOTHER IN LAW, OH I GUESS THAT EXPLAINS IT ALL. BUT I GUESS GOVERNOR PALIN DOESN’T HAVE ANY FAMILY HELP. GET OVER THIS NONSENSE ZEROBAMA.
HYPOCRIT, WE SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU AND YOUR ZEROBOMA RESUME’.
THIS DEMOCRAT WITH VOTE FOR MCCAIN PALIN, THEN HILLARY IN 2012. GREAT JOB SARAH¡¡¡¡

Jon Stewart rocks. He tells the truth. He has a video on the double standards of the Republican Party talking playing the gender card when it is convenient for them.
They bashed Hillary, but now accuses the media of sexism against Pail.
Go check it out
They were for it before they were against it.

Laura, no problem. You guys stonewall Hillary because we won’t vote for that elitist sexist pig Obama and we will do the same thing every time you guys jump on someone’s bandwagon. For all I care, there can be Republican in office forever. We have dug in our heels and we aren’t going anywhere so good luck with all of that!

As you know, despite earlier promises to the contrary, Sarah Palin is now refusing to cooperate with the trooper-gate investigation. Her lawyer now says she will refuse to be deposed unless the head of the current investigation relinquishes control and hands the investigation over to the state Personnel Board made up of three of Gov. Palin’s appointees. We’ve been trying to see whether Palin’s argument has any merit under Alaska law. And the former Alaska Attorney General we just spoke to told us, in essence, that it’s a bunch of bunk.
Not surprising, since the whole gambit is an effort to push any depositions out past the election.
if Obamas name was there instead of palins you guys would be freaking out
but its ok, palin is fine, scandals are fine for the gop, you are so worried about experience and then you say yay when you ahve someone with zero experience riding shot gun.

Kayb: Funny that, we have been saying the same thing about your man Obama. I think if it is okay to slam a woman than I think it should be just fine for anyone to slam Obama because he is black. Let’s equal the playing field here. Obama and his cronies can slam the woman all they want and anyone who wants to can slam the black race. What do you think? I bet he’d crying fowl immediately and you’d see that big blabbermouth sharpton and Jackson carrying on and on about it. But, do it to a woman???? No problem. WE ARE ONLY ONE RUNG UP ABOVE FROM THE HOMELESS IN SOCIETY NOW ANYWAY! Idiots!

Word is out that in addition to supporting Bridge to Nowhere, which she lied about in her recital last night (a speech written by Bush puppetmasters) Sarah PTAlin also supports a ROAD TO NOWHERE, a $375 million project being hailed as wasteful spending.

lol sexism… its not from obama… just so you know obama doesnt control the media if he does do you think hed have the media airing the rev wright stuff 24/7 for two weeks

Nice job, Obama, wonder why CBS has the race tied right now…
I am so sick of legal sophistry being mistaken for clarity of thought.
Obama, they are talking about attacks on her ability to hold office as a mother, not her resume.
Too clever by half.

How the heck did Obama beat Hillary? Honestly, can someone provide a recap? The word that came to mind when I read his response is “weak”. Obama is weak. He sounds like a weak whiner. Weak, weak, weak. Fight back, Barack! Where’s your spine!

Bhrandon,
The lawyer is trying to get the investigation shut down and have the thic panel make a quick decision.
Just one problem, the police union just filed regarding improper access to Wooten’s file.

The cronies are the entire left wing of the Dems who supported Obama in the primary season. Obviously, those cronies did not call Obama aside and tell him to cut it out. They allowed it to go on and on and on, that is what I am talking about. And, I am talking about his cronies, his supporters, who think he is right up there with jesus walking on the water. Many of you were slamming Hillary supporters during the primary season and we have had enough! When I saw the party that I had supported my entire life just stand idly by and allow obama to treat the clintons like that I thought to myself, “Why am I in the democrat party?” They are not protecting my gender but are letting this guy rip it a part? So, i thought, there is no difference now as to what party I vote for because none of them really care about me and my gender. And, the added plus to voting republican was to hopefully stop Obama from getting elected so that next time a woman runs for President the Dems will tell their guy, notice I said guy and not boy because you would say racist, racist, racist, talk about who is oversensitive!, that they better keep their big mouths on the issues and not make sexist comments!!

Ryan C add the media infatuation with Obama to that list, making it all the more amazing that Hillar GOT MORE VOTES.

Palin cuts funding for special needs
children in Alaska of 5,109,300 , or 62%. Seems to me she’s done a wonderful job
She really cares about Special Needs kids, huh, while exploiting her downs syndrome baby for the world to see how great she is.
What a loser

“Ryan C add the media infatuation with Obama to that list,”
You mean the media love that John McCain gets….for 8 years and counting?
The media like both Prez picks.
“making it all the more amazing that Hillar GOT MORE VOTES.”
Except she didn’t.
Vote totals aren’t tabulated for some caucuses (which hurts Obama more than Hillary), MI and Fl do not count.
Obama beat her by 40,000 votes.
And over 100 pledged delegates.
And that was after Obama had begun moving into GE mode. Hillary ran practically unopposed in PR.

Sarah Palin has held a long time belief that people in opposite races should not date. She is a self confessed “redneck”.
She obtained a business license a long time ago, just in case her political life didn’t mesh, and named the business, “Rouge Cou” french for Redneck.
She will definitely appeal to the traditional Republican base.

mary anne
you need to quote the whole thing that obama said if you are going to quote him
if you want fair treatment as a women, then start treating others fairly…
obama didnt just come otu and say… people in small towns are angry and cling to guns and religion
have a good night san francisco
he was asked why rural voters dont vote or vote a certain way
his actual reply was
You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them…And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.
And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
you see they vote for people who are for guns, who are for religion, or anti immigrant… they dont vote for jobs or taxes
he was saying this is thier voting pattern because this is what htey are thinking
he has said cling was too strong of a word and wasnt the best way to say it… but the point is still clear and it isnt a statment that is a bash or a mocking statment at all
do some research… mccain and palin flub lines all the time, but thats ok
you shoudl be able to see waht he was getting at

Wow.what a smart, wonderful woman.
AP reports Palin attended 5 colleges in 6 years

LOL – Obama sexist? Have you heard the things that come out of J. McCain’s mouth or observed the fact that being a beauty queen is apparently his main priority in picking the women he’s closest to?

Obama constantly refers to Palin as the former mayor.
So I think it’s only fair we refer to Obama as the FORMER COMMUNITY ORGANIZER.

Okay, Ryan, if they were primaries rather than caucus Hillary would win”
What I said was that some caucuses are not included in popular vote totals because they do not keep popular vote totals (caucuses for IA, ME, NV & WA).
Even with FL(which was a straw vote practically) included Obama got 40,000 more votes than Hillary.

GREAT JOB GOV PALIN!!!! You have EARNED my VOTE!!!
Obama is the one that said”She was a small town mayor” – WELL – She is a US GOV – from our largest State -
Palin was only defending herself against the obama gang’s attacks on her qualifications.

Oh no, there is no sexism here. Gov. Palin is ridiculed for lack of experience even though she’s a former Mayor and present Gov, but Obama’s 200 days as a Senator before he jumped on the campaign trail is sufficient.
Please. There are different standards here, for sure. Don’t think average Americans don’t notice.
Too many Democrats are just plain dumb. They should have nominated Hillary. Now they’ll be lucky as hell to win in a squeaker. I’ll be surprised if they pull it off.

Kat – I gave the stats down thread which show how STate of Alaska financial records put to bed the absolute lie that Palin cut special needs funding.
She RAISED funding and by a HUGE amount.
But keep lying. And whining.

Kat – how about you show me a post where I made fun of people with special needs? Oh, can’t do it? That’s because it never happened.
