This strategy can only work if the msm are in bed with them and if they can control the blogs. We’ve seen the msm bias, the recent ‘spamming’ of many anti-obama blogs, and even here – the presence of the likes of you to misinform, distract, sow doubts etc.

That’s why sites like this and people like Larry and Susan are heroes!

Everybody here knows this. You’re just wasting your time.

Barack Obama cannot be trusted, by his friends, by his enemies, by anyone. He’s a coward, who folds at the slightest difficulty. Progressives who think his “hope” and “change” schtick are real, are going to be very disappointed when he turns out to be the FIRST ONE TO FOLD TO GOP PRESSURE EVERY TIME.

By the way, Ted, who but a dyed in the wool obot would think ducking out on a controversial vote makes a politician look bold and decisive? Obama is a double-dealing candy-ass, who speaks out of both sides of his mouth.

Hillary was the one who took a stand.

Clinton camps highlights Obama’s chairmanship

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Sen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign Wednesday pounced on Sen. Barack Obama’s acknowledgment that he has yet to hold a substantive hearing since becoming chairman of a Senate subcommittee on Europe.

The admission during Tuesday night’s Democratic debate offered a “glimpse of the real Barack Obama,” and was emblematic of the Illinois senator’s light record of results, the Clinton camp said in an e-mail.

Obama “did not hold a single oversight hearing because he was too busy running for president; the Barack Obama who spends his time talking about change you can believe in instead of change you actually can count on,” the e-mail stated.

Clinton herself raised the issue at the debate in Cleveland.

‘”He chairs the subcommittee on Europe. It has jurisdiction over NATO. NATO is critical to our mission in Afghanistan,” she said. “He’s held not one substantive hearing to do oversight, to figure out what we can do to actually have a stronger presence with NATO in Afghanistan.”

In response, Obama noted he has only served as the committee’s chairman since January of 2007, just when his presidential campaign was beginning — a fact the Clinton campaign’s memo also highlighted.

“But by his own admission, he was too busy running for president to conduct a single substantive hearing of the committee he chairs,” the memo stated. “So he would rather talk about what he would do rather than do it through the responsibility he had.”

For the record, Obama has held two hearings on ambassadorial nominations, but no oversight hearings.

McCain hits Obama for not holding hearings

McCain, holding a town hall meeting in that big little city, Reno, Nev., opens his remarks today with what will surely be a recurring talk point against Obama but one that I’ve not heard the candidate himself use much:

Senator Obama is the chairman of an important subcommittee that has the oversight of what’s going on in Afghanistan. He has not held one single hearing on Afghanistan where young Americans are in harm’s way as we speak. My friends, this is about leadership.

Actually, Obama’s Foreign Relations subcommittee on European Affairs does not have jurisdiction over Afghanistan (that would be the Subcommittee on Near Eastern and South and Central Asian Affairs). But Obama still could have held hearings as it related to, say, the role of NATO in Afghanistan.

Whether the attack it’s fine-tuned or not, that Obama did not hold a single hearing from his subcommittee perch is sure to be used by the GOP as a he’s-all-talk talking point.
