McCain Camp: I Agree With Obama Aide on Both Democrats' Lack of Preparedness

Awesome spin here - faster than a dradle on Maneshewitz. Take a look at the freaking video. Rice makes perfect sense. The point (for those who can't discern): NONE of the candidates have had executive experience. I'm sorry context is such a difficult concept for the Obama-haters.

As for Obama overspending? He's the best funded by far (by the most number of people, by far) and doing just fine (55 million in February alone).

Feeling safer with Hillary in office? Personally I'm tired of being dictated to. I'm ready to be involved. I'm looking to a leader respectful enough to ask for my participation rather than say, I know what I'm doing -- just keep on spending...

McCain has the same problem as Clinton. They both voted yes to authorize Bush's Iraq disaster.

And ...

They both failed to read the 2002 Iraq National Intelligence Estimate.

McCain lives in a glass house. I fully expect it's going to be smashed.

This is all fearmongering. If you think about it, the only time the US need to worry about the Islamic Extremists is when you have a war-monger Republican as president. Hilary Clinton is no more ready that Senator Obama for a 3a.m. phone call. For that matter, no president is ready for that 3 a.m. call. The red phone call is outdated now. The enemy uses other methods. Was the US ready for the 9/11 strike? Hilary will not be accepted by the Islamic leaders of the world as the president and they are the ones that America fears the most. Would you really want your granny or a granpa leading your country?

Now is the time to ask the Sen. Clinton what her 35 yrs of experience really is. Now is the time to ask questions about what the American public need to know and are going to ask very soon. If we don’t ask these questions, the republicans will. Every American knows all of the stuff that’s part of Clinton’s experience like: Whitewater, Travel gate, Monica Lewinsky and impeachment, renting out the Lincoln bedroom, the loss of the Rose Law Firm billing records for nearly 2 years until they were miraculously found in the White House living quarters, removing files from Vince Foster’s office following his suicide and before investigators could get there. Has anyone asked why she hasn’t released her library records or tax returns? What if she's hiding something negative that might cost our party the White House? Most people believe she's hiding some bad stuff. While you guys are deciding to ask her these questions the republicans will consolidate and take the white house again. I guess being a Dem isn't much fun.

Jennifer:
You Clinton supporters repeat her campaign slogans over and over!
Her "qualifications and experience"!
What Qualifications and Experience does Hillary Clinton have that qualify her to be president of the U.S.?
Being First Lady of Arkansas or the U.S.
doesn't count otherwise the whitehouse chef would also be qualified!
6+ uneventful years in the U'S. Senate with no major piece of legislation bearing her name does Not qualify Hillary Clinton to be president!

The point of the ad is to use the same tactic as Bush did - to create "fear" like all the color codes you saw in the airport. Fear is not what we need. We have had enough! We need CHANGE!

I think the point of the ad is to say that Hillary Clinton is ready to lead on day 1 under any circumstances. She has both the qualifications and experience. And I think she has been saying this repeatedly during her campaign throughout this whole election! This ad is just one more example of this.

I think that Obama and his campaign staff are starting to look worried. "You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people, all of the time". Obama camp: Time is up.

We, the People, need to take control over the election from the media, who has always been the one to decide who is the winner...(ref. Gore vs Bush, Kerry vs Bush). These days even Saturday Night Life can make a difference to an election outcome.

People, wake up and use your own judgment. Go to the Library of Congress and look up how much Senator Obama has done and got done in his political career. He is the one who can actually cross the party line, get his bills passed because he is willing to work with others, listen to others, including you and me. Our country needs unity now!

The media is showing a parsed, out-of-context clip and many of you are falling for it. Do you homework. Search the web for the full clip. Susan Rice's candor is exactly what our politics needs.

The full context of Ms. Rice's comments has been omitted from this story by various media sources.

I think Obama's advisor's should just shut their mouths. Ms. Rice is an adviser not a spokesperson for the Obama campaign. I see what Ms. Rice was trying to do, that is, make the 3:00AM phone call issue irrelevant since neither candidate had been in that situation. And it did come out that way in the entire transcript. But the media are interested in sound bites and that is what is sticking. Mr. Rice should have know that! Axelrod, Plouffe PUT A MUZZLE ON YOUR CAMPAIGN ADVISERS NOW!!!!!

I don't feel like this is the USA anymore. This election is going nuts, everyone that responds to thse media sponsored blogs is going nuts, the candidates, all three of them are going nuts, the supporters of these candidates are going more nuts. All I can say to all of this is NUTS!

I was for OBAMA yesterday!

I am for OBAMA today!

I am going to be for OBAMA tomorrow!

I believe there's a misconception about what she was saying hear. What she's saying here is none of the canidates have had to literally face these 3am phone calls because they never been president. Sort of like parenthood, no one is ever really ready to be a parent. You just have to take your what you've learned in life(values, judgement,etc) and do the best you can. And some parents are just better than others. So it is true that not one of these candiates are ready. Just like you're not ready to lose your job. You're not ready to lose your house. You're not ready to die today, are you? Just because your not 'ready' does not mean you're not able to face these sudden situations with a clear focus , clear plan, and good judgement to overcome.

Hey now that I think about it....didn't Bill and Hill have a slogan to help promote NAFTA. I think it went like this:

NAFTA we HAFTA. We HAFTA pass NAFTA.

What we are going to see is a vicious circle - the next generation created out of NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND, are going to vote for a ticket of Barbara Bush+Jenna Bush. We get who we are as a majority.

Before it is too late, let's vote for someone who has a big picture, who said he wants our country to be the world leader in terms of technology, education, and economy but not through wars. -Senator Obama.

Thanks for the Obama campaign for letting us know your guy is not up to the task. Your claim that neither McCain or Clinton is ready is only "as far as you know"

Fact: One of Obama's top foreign policy advisors admits his candidate is not ready for the "3 a.m. crisis call" in the oval office. Of course, he can't speak for Clinton or McCain but throws them in to lessen the damage to his man. Obama's people only speak for Obama and that is a stunning admission. McCain would eat Obama alive.

Here’s a transcript from her appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show on MSNBC in terms of what was asked and said about the 3 a.m. phone call.

Mr. Carlson: So Hillary Clinton runs this ad, the famous red phone ad, that says when the phone rings at 3 o’clock in the morning, you know, who do you trust to make those snap decisions that could hold all of our lives in the balance? And the Obama campaign, I thought very wisely, came back and said, name one that you — you know name a situation where you’ve judged a foreign policy crisis, and she couldn’t.

I’m going to ask the same question to you. Where has — Barack Obama been in a position where he has to make those kinds of decisions?

Ms. Rice: He hasn’t and he hasn’t claimed that he’s been in a position to have to answer the phone at 3 o’clock in the morning in a crisis situation. That’s the difference between the two of them. Hillary Clinton hasn’t had to answer the phone at 3 o’clock in the morning. And yet she attacked Barack Obama for not being ready. They’re both not ready to have that 3:00 a.m. phone call.

The question is and what Barack Obama raised is, when that phone call is received for each of them for the first time, who’s going to make the right judgment? Who is going to make the right decision?

On the critical foreign policy issues of the day, whether it was a decision to go to war in Iraq or the decision to give President Bush the benefit of the doubt and beat the drums of war with Iran, Hillary Clinton has made the same wrong judgment as John McCain and George W. Bush. Barack Obama has made a very different judgment.

So neither one of them, and nor John McCain for that matter, have had that 3 o’clock phone call that others have had. And I think we have to be honest about that.]

Oh please, experience is only as good as the judgment of the candidate. Clinton has the bad judgment to be married to Bill. McCain has the bad judgment to continue to support failed (and bankrupt) policies in Iraq. Bush, well, we saw what he was doing when the towers were struck-- reading children's books upside down with a paralyzed look on his face. I for one am willing to "risk" it with someone younger who has good judgment. Whoever we elect has an ENORMOUS mess to clean up. Thank you Bush & Clinton & Co.
