[Updated: Some of you have said I'm a troll. I'm not. I'm a lurker, that's all. I am a huge Obama fan and I hate that he's not fighting back. Some of you pointed to some posts here and what not indicating that Obama is fighting back. Well, it's about time and it's still not enough. The Gramm comments were weeks ago - why have we all but forgotten about them? Obama is not hitting hard enough, or his response would be on the news or at least in an ad. I live in a state that might go for Obama this time and his responses aren't playing here, but I've seen the celebrity mccain ad lots of times. HIT HARDER. I'm not bashing Obama, just saying he needs to respond like he promised.]
When Obama declined public financing (which I think was the right thing to do), he said that one justification was so that he could have a war chest to fight back and that he would not be swift boated.
News flash: Obama, you're already being swift boated!
Obama - why aren't you fighting back? Why are you being as slow as John Kerry to respond to these attacks? Why aren't you using that war chest that so many of us generously contributed to?
Why aren't we seeing endless commercials to remind us that Phil Gramm and McCain thinks we're delusional whiners?
Why aren't we seeing clips of McCain's inability to answer questions, subtly telling the real story: that McCain isn't mentally fit for the job.
Why haven't you said that McCain is lying, being ridiculous, etc?
Sure, I've seen a few rebuttals from you. But, they're not hard hitting and they aren't getting nearly as much coverage as McCain's attacks.
I expect more of you. Use your war chest and fight back.
