Obama Jujitsu

Barry was on This Week this morning and I think we might have to give him the play of the week award.

George the Greek was pressing him on some of the jabs he absorbed at the GOP convention this week, including the continuing rhetorical questions about what exactly a community organizer is and does.

Paraphrasing, Obama said that for all McCain's talk about country first, serving a cause greater than oneself and encouraging people and companies to serve their communities in creative ways, his turning Obama's work into a punchline really stinks.

Nice move.

Should be an interesting week in general as Team Obama gets to respond to all of the republican convention.

Not to follow the polls too closely, but they mention a slight McCain edge.

I know your not a fan, but did you see the daily show from last Friday?

I did not...i occasionally see clips, but I did not. Who was on?

It was Huckabee, but they did this great montage of clips from McCain's acceptance speech along side of clips from Bush's acceptance speech. It was amusing in how word for word it was.
