Is Obama trying to bamboozle the Mexicans?

[Will Robinson]

It's going to be hard to listen to Obama complain about McCain distorting the facts in campaign ads if he's going to try to get away with this kind of stuff. Maybe he figured all those McCain people don't speak spanish so they wouldn't know....

The short version is Obama took words that were spoken by Rush Limbaugh, and spoken in a totally different context than would support the inference Obama wants the Mexicans to take from them, and then attributes them to McCain, trying to link McCain and Limbaugh on an issue that Limbaugh completely disagrees with McCain on!

Is this some of that new politics Obama was talking about?!? Same old crap but in spanish makes it different?!?

linkage

Obama is like the Old The Isley Brothers song \"Twist and Shout. First he twists a statement out of context and then shouts it to a select group of voters.
So last I checked, Rush Limbaugh was not running for any office and why the wannabe Messiah wants to attack Rush when he is running against McCain I have no idea.
If this is Obama's idea of \"CHANGE\" then I guess someone should re-define the word.

Using associations to hurt a candidate?

Your right, that is a new low in politics.... almost like saying your oponent is sexist for called your running mate a pig in an Ad that was aired in battle ground states, and then having to take it back when even your most staunch supporters jumped off the bus. (Mike Huckabee, Bill O'reilly and even Karl Rove).

(And I listen to Rush on the way to work sometimes, they could have done better with the quote selection.)

It's not a new low, it's such a blatent lie that it should insult the intelligence of the mexicans he used it on but that aside, isn't Obama the guy who was going to change the way we do things?

any way you decide to rationalize it he sure has given up the moral high ground with that one because it really is National Enquirer style fabrication. Next thing you know he'll be publishing pictures of McCains head on a bats body and telling them to beware of el Vampiro lol!

Your right Goob, it’s just the same ole ★■◆● as usual, but that’s a poor defense for the change agent.

I've been reserving my opinions of both candidates till I could learn more. One thing I have noticed kind of goes along these lines too. I hear McCain making suggestions as to how to fix our present economic crisis and Obama just saying how foolish his ideas are without much more to offer. Up to this point, seems McCain has been able to shrug his shoulders at Obamas' attacks and stay focused.

It appears to me that Obama is somewhat intimidated and now, instead of offering up viable alternatives, just nitpicks McCain's ideas. For Obama to impress me, he's gonna have to come up with more than spin.
