Obama Responds to Phone Ad
By Jeff Zeleny
February 29, 2008
HOUSTON – It is, Senator Barack Obama says, “a legitimate question.”
“Who do you want answering the phone in the White House when it’s 3 a.m. and something has happened in the world?”
In a conversation with military veterans here, Mr. Obama responded to the television advertisement that is the talk of today’s political water cooler: Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s new commercial stressing her credentials on national security.
“We’ve seen these ads before. They’re the kind that play on people’s fears to try to scare up votes,” Mr. Obama said. “I don’t think these ads will work this time, because the question is not about picking up the phone. The question is what kind of judgment will you exercise when you pick up that phone?” …
After the television ad was released today by Mrs. Clinton, the Obama campaign first responded in a conference call with reporters. Advisers weighed whether to have Mr. Obama address it directly. If he did, wouldn’t he be lending credibility to his rival by dignifying it with his words? If he didn’t, would he be ceding ground on national security?
While Mr. Obama has been trying to talk less about Mrs. Clinton and more about Senator John McCain of Arizona, the presumptive Republican nominee, aides decided to have him respond directly – and on camera. So he addressed it before beginning a meeting with veterans at the American Legion Post 490 on Old Galveston Road, which sits across from Ellington Field here in Houston.
“The question is, ‘What kind of judgment will you exercise when you pick up that phone?’” Mr. Obama said, speaking over applause from about three dozen veterans and their families. “In fact, we have had a red phone moment. It was the decision to invade Iraq. And Senator Clinton gave the wrong answer, George Bush gave the wrong answer, John McCain gave the wrong answer.” …
“I will never see the threat of terrorism as a way to scare up votes, because it’s a threat that should rally this country around our common enemies,” Mr. Obama said. “That is the judgment we need at 3 a.m.” …
Ironically, the Obama campaign seems to have answered the question:

Oh, my sides. If they have to dither about something this inane, imagine how they would handle the ‘big stuff’?
Not that Mrs. Clinton would do any better.
“I will never see the threat of terrorism as a way to scare up votes, because it’s a threat that should rally this country around our common enemies,” Mr. Obama said.
The trouble with Mr. Obama is that we can’t be sure if he actually meant to say “rally against our common enemies,” rather than “rally around” them.
And that makes him a very dangerous choice to be President at any time.

How pathetic. The nuke we should fear is the one coming at us. Yet both these candidates are more likely to dismantle our “button” and do nothing about nuclear proliferation in dangerous countries like Iran. We know the 3am call Hillary is more likely to get:
Bill saying, “I screwed up again and got caught. Call our usual connections and circle the wagons.”

“…. “he addressed it before beginning a meeting with veterans at the American Legion Post……..speaking over applause from about three dozen veterans and their families….”
Sounds like he really packed the house. Just think, all those veterans swarming to hear him say………something. I hope they were all issued “bullshit protectors” for their ears! Here’s what would probably happen after he answered the call…………
…”the Obama campaign first responded in a conference call with…….”

Who are Hussein Obama’s “common enemies”? All Christian nations or just the U.S.A and it’s allies? That’s what I want to know.
He probably just means all Christian nations, judging by what he’s done in kenya with his cousin Raila Odinga.

Here’s the real answer to the 3 AM call.
#You’re walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children.
Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises theknife, and charges at you. You are carrying a Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?
Obama’s
Answer :
Well, that’s not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire
him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the pistol have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he’d be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a
“paint and weed” day and make this happier, healthier street that would
discourage such behavior. This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with
some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.
Republican’s
Answer:
BANG!…..BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! (drop the empty magazine–insert fresh one and rack the slide, walk carefully toward assailant and take careful aim between the eyes) BANG!

Hillary’s ad makes an interesting point, that she “knows the military”. I’m sure she does, in about the same way that my dog knows the cat.

“I don’t think these ads will work this time, because the question is not about picking up the phone. The question is what kind of judgment will you exercise when you pick up that phone?” …
Am I reading this correctly? Did he actually think that the point being raised by the ad was anyones ability to answer a phone?

Based on JohnMG’s response, I want him to answer that call. Or maybe, Tommy Franks. Of course, G. Gordon but I think the press would have a field day when he turns the White House Bowling Alley into a shooting range.

Here’s BO, He Who Cannot Be Named, answering the phone… LOL
