Read again, John McCain just got smacked around on The View
And he lied again in front of a national audience while he was being called a liar.
Josh called him out again on it
It's become pathological. John McCain just claimed on TV that Sarah Palin has never requested an earmark for her state -- when actually her state gets more earmarks than any other state in the country. And this year she asked for $197 million worth of them herself.
The View folks, The View, this ain't tough media here.
The Liar Liar Pants on Fire narrative is starting to take hold folks.
I have said it in a couple of comments and I thought I'd say it in a diary, and this goes to all of you hand wringers out there about Obama's ad strategy.
All Obama has to do right now is become the most media friendly presidental candidate in history!
More after the fold!
John McCain just got smacked around on Te Vew and called out for the liar that he is, by women no less, and it was not pretty. John McCain nominated a VP pick that cannot even answer simple questions about foreign policy and must be kept away from the media. John McCain has in the past week declared war on the media. John McCain and his VP pick have repeatedly lied, over and over and over and even friendly folks are calling him the liar he is.
He's lost the AP, he's lost folks in the conservative media, it has been shown over and over again that he is lying. John McCain has a serious media problem, John McCain and Sarah Palin will get eviscerated by any serious media appearance. John McCain just got eviscerated on The View of all places!
Barack Obama does not have a media problem, Barack Obama does not need to hide his VP. Barack Obama has not told any lies. Barack Obama has been talking about issues.
Barack Obama does not need to run from the media, Barack Obama and Joe Biden have nothing to hide, there is no blood in the water surrounding Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
Barack Obama has already gone in front of the hardest show he would ever have to go on and came away pretty much unscathed.
Barack Obama, and please Obama campaign if you have not figured it out yet, then please heed this advice! Barack Obama and Joe Biden all you have to do is become the most media friendly candidates in presidential election history and you will absolutely OWN John McCain and Sarah Palin
Go on every show you can, all the talk shows, all the weekend shows, the nightly shows, radio, satellite, you name it, do them. You have absolutely nothing to hide and John McCain jumped the shark about a week ago and cannot even face women on The View without being called a liar in front of a TV audience of 3-4 million folks.
Wait, wait, what's that you say, Obama/Biden has appeared on CBS 60 minutes, Meet the Press, This Week, Countdown, O'Reily, Letterman and SNL in pretty much just the last week alone! (let me know if I missed any)
Hmmmm, well perhaps never mind, perhaps this is exactly what you are doing, if not, then please just do it!!!
So what do you all think? From what I can tell this is exactly what Obama is doing at this time, it is part of his strategy and McCain has totally screwed up by boxing himself in like this. Media shows of this nature are worth tens of millions of dollars in advertising. And if anyone has not seen it then, please go watch Obama's stint on Letterman at The Jed Report.
Just my thoughts on the matter, I think that there is a lot more going on than folks realize and we don't need to harp so much on the ads, from what I can see Obama is in a great position and this is the perfect time for that part of the campaign to come into play and McCain is totally screwd on this front, heck even Bill Clinton thought Obama would win handedly.
So lets see how this plays out, I suspect that Obama knows what he is doing.
