Palin "will get back with you" while Obama will "learn about it"

Over the last weeks Katie Couric, in an interview with Governor Palin, exposed a gap in Palins understanding about the voting history of Presidential hopeful John McCain at which point she offered to get some understanding and get back with Katie on the facts. This seemed laughable to the press and became fodder for watercool talk everywhere about Palins apparent lack of intelligence.

A few blog entried ago I exposed the fact that the press gave Biden a pass on not wanting to sensor himself and being caught in gaffe-style statements while calling a similar attitude in McCain an unfair desire for a "double-standard." In fact, Biden asserted his opinion before McCain asserted his, yet McCain gets poor press because of it.

Well, it ends up Obama has had similar moments of not being familiar with issues. On the topic of funding for the Hartford facility Obama said,

"Here’s something that you will rarely hear from a politician, and that is that I’m not familiar with the Hanford, uuuuhh, site, so I don’t know exactly what’s going on there. (Applause.) Now, having said that, I promise you I’ll learn about it by the time I leave here on the ride back to the airport."

So, in the case of Obama, saying the exact same thing back in May, he gets applause from those who are listening. Palin said it and gets handed her hat and declared unfit to run for Vice President (well, by the lemmings being told what to think.)

This is yet another great example of the rediculum coming from the Obama press machine. Some friends previously decided to call having a memory problem a "Palin-moment" but since Obama actually did this first back in May, I think it is more appropriate to give him the credit and start rightly calling it an "Obama-moment."

I will repeat my montra: Don't be a lemming. Stop repeating soundbytes.

News flash: Obama's history of associating with questionable figures is hitting the fan (again)! The best rebuttle he can come up with is to call it "mud-slinging." Rather than address his poor judgments and shady dealings or simply justify the people he has placed into high seats in his campaign from those shady dealings, he just blows them off and calls it "mud." As a thinking American, it is time for Obama to account for this stuff.
