Obama: Wall Street Tumbles And All John McCain Can Do Is Stoke "Anger And Division"

Politico reports:

Barack Obama attacked John McCain Friday for launching a "barrage of nasty insinuations and attacks" as the stock market drops tumbles.

"Even as we face the most serious economic crisis of our time, even as you are worried about keeping your jobs or paying your bills or staying in your homes, my opponent's campaign announced last week that they plan to 'turn the page' on the discussion about our economy so they can spend the final weeks of this election attacking me instead," Obama said during a speech in Chillicothe, Ohio.

John Weaver, John McCain's former top strategist, says the Republican candidate is making both a moral and a tactical mistake by letting abusive hecklers have free rein at rallies:

"People need to understand, for moral reasons and the protection of our civil society, the differences with Senator Obama are ideological, based on clear differences on policy and a lack of experience compared to Senator McCain," Weaver said. "And from a purely practical political vantage point, please find me a swing voter, an undecided independent, or a torn female voter that finds an angry mob mentality attractive."

Translation: Mommy didn't show me enough attention.

[lucifer01]

This is precisely the time when O should return to his hopeful and uplifting message. Now is the time to put his gift for prose to the problem. With sun shining on our upturned faces, we can overcome!

[roope]

I am posting this from Australia - where Palin and the crowds are getting a lot of press; just is just like an Australian politician Pauline Hanson who played on peoples base fears and the conservative government of the time took on her policies. Do not let it happen there

O h yeah apologies for Fox and Rupert!

[TiffanyHusseinBanned]

Is it true that when you bring your own cross to the McCain rally, they supply the lighter fluid?

[idontknowanything]

And they call it a candlelight vigil.

[peacekitten]

.....as well as hotdogs and long sticks to cook them on.......

you have to bring your own buns, though....­...

[Questinia]

It's all because of Palin.

[ZimboChick]

Yes it is

[ZimboChick]

This could be a good rumour to start...

[OneVoiceInACrowd]

There should be a waiting period for screen names. Give some value to being a member and the comments.

[RobertaInCT]

And a screen name f-ilter, it hard to believe some of the names that get through.

[Coyote2]

The moderators need a quicker response on these issues.

[LongreachAU]

and we're attempting to export democracy around the world...is this come kind of bad joke?

[Medius]

The tr 0ll c**onthecob is becoming unhinged.

Yikes!

[jpcline004]

he is a litmus test of how much the GOP is freaking out. They cant stand a smart, successful young bla ck man in the whitehouse

I hope they turn their clinged guns to their heads

[ZimboChick]

Flag him as abusive. They are really going to be unhinged when the straight talk express (with some wheels missing) grinds to a halt next week. They have used up all of Obama;s 'scandals'. They should have spaced them out. poor critters

[bigbenny]

Well they're trying to start a new one with their ACORN crap.

[donaldw6]

It's the spawn of McCain and Palin. I blame them completely.

[biglover]

How the hell did he get past the Huffpolice? I want that scum bag out of here.

[idontknowanything]

That vi le C##tonacob thing is only the advance guard for the rac ist posts we can expect. It's a sad day indeed.

[VolvoBirkenstock]

The must be allowing McCain/Palin supporters to post from the rallies now.

[Pronto]

Good work, sleuth.

[jpcline004]

you were just waiting for him to post again, I bet your face lit up!! You totally have a crush on volvo!!!

[Sisto]

John McCain is inciting hatred! Is this what Americans want as President! In Europe this would be considered a hate crime! In America I guess if your Republican the media here will give you a pass on this! It's dangerous and it can spill out on the streets! People forgot Rodney King and what happened in Los Angeles! If chaos breaks out this is on McCain for inciting hatred on Americans!

[ZimboChick]

Ok enough!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

McTemper is very concerned about voter fraud, where was he in 2000?

[SurferKit]

Or 2004 in Ohio.

[MOPAR64]

By "turning the page" on the economy, McCain has declared an economic "Mission Accomplished".

You're doing a heck of a job Mac.

[BlueStateMan]

What kid of '64 you driving, friend?
