Here's your MSM coverage of the debate tonight

from BHO


OBAMA CAMPAIGN ISSUES TALKING POINTS TO MEDIA AHEAD OF DEBATE
Wed Oct 15 2008 11:13:03 ET

The Obama campaign issued a set of debate 'talking points' to media on Wednesday morning, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.

Press Secretary Sean Smith issued the directive in an email from Pennsylvania, 12 hours before the debate.

The memo oddly mirrors much of the main press analysis and theme of the current campaign:



-------- Original Message --------
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 09:37:27 -0500
From: Sean Smith [s***mith@barackobama.com]
To: Sean Smith [s***mith@barackobama.com]

* This is John McCain's last chance to turn this race around and somehow convince the American people that his erratic response to this economic crisis doesn't disqualify him from being President.

* Just this weekend the weekend, John McCain vowed to "whip Obama's you-know-what" at the debate, and he's indicated that he'll be bringing up Bill Ayers to try to distract voters.

* So we know that Senator McCain will come ready to attack Barack Obama and bring his dishonorable campaign tactics to the debate stage.

Obama continues to lead on the economic crisis with a rescue plan for Main Street.

* Over the course of the campaign, Barack Obama has laid out a set of policies that will grow our middle class and strengthen our economy.

* But he knows we face an immediate economic emergency that requires urgent action - on top of the plans he's already laid out - to help workers and families and communities struggling right now.

* That's why Barack Obama is introducing a comprehensive four-part Rescue Plan for the Middle Class - to immediately to stabilize our financial system, provide relief to families and communities, and help struggling homeowners.

* This is a plan that can and should be implemented immediately.

* Obama has shown steady leadership during this crisis and offered concrete solutions to move the country forward - and his Rescue Plan for the Middle Class builds on the plans to strengthen the economy and rebuild the middle class that he's laid out over the course of this campaign.

* Already in this campaign, he's unveiled plans to give 95 percent of workers and their families a tax cut, eliminate income taxes for seniors making under $50,000, bring down the cost of health care for families and businesses; and create millions of new jobs by investing in the renewable energy sources.

* John McCain has been erratic and unsteady since this crisis began - staggering from position to position and trying to change the subject away from the economy by launching false character attacks.

END

Re: Here's your MSM coverage of the debate tonight

The Obama camp is completely in control here.

Obama has run a pretty tight ship the last 2 years. He wouldn't just let something like this "leak" out.

It was sent out and leaked on purpose, in order to challenge McCain to attack him personally at the debate.

And it's a fastball that Obama wants to take and hit out of the park since the polls have shown an increasing slide for McCain, precisely because of the negative stuff.

I really have no clue what McCain is going to do.

I'm hoping he will outline the nuts and bolts of how he intends to mandate health care coverage for all American (and illegal) children.

Hey Jason, no kidding, why do you figure just about every small business owner in America thinks Obama will be their ruin? Why is that?

Re: Here's your MSM coverage of the debate tonight

The "press release" is accurate in its observations of the behavior of John McCain and his campaign staff. John McCain has failed to show the American people that he is ready to take on the challenges which will face our next president. If, realizing the depth of his own failure, he decides to go negative tonight, I think that the American people will resoundingly reject him.

Yeah, but the economists don't have catchy slogans like "change we need", they are talking more like "see you later" , "you're laid off", and " I guess you're fucked".

Because they haven't figured out yet what it means that everything done to them will also and at the same time be done to all of their competitors.

Re: Here's your MSM coverage of the debate tonight

Well right away Obama comes out with stupidity, that eliminating tax breaks for businesses who outsource will somehow encourage a business who now has higher costs to employ more americans at even higher cost. WHen one of the reasons they are outsourceing is because of high taxes. ANd then comes mccain with this dumb stories. I need alcohol.

Oh, I see then, it won't mean unemployment , just across the board inflation. I get it.

But wait..........when the goods go up to cover the taxes (lets face it, the tax increases will be felt at the register) and sales falter, then we get the unemployment. Thats a Barrack Obama one-two punch!
