Americans Away From Home

"We'll get you in the gutter, we'll tear you down, we'll punch you where it hurts."

That's what McCain and Republicans promise for the next 30 days. They swear they will drag Obama down into the sewer with attack, attack, attack.

What is this, West Side Story with McThugs playing the bullying gang?

McCain's campaign is so sure of its path, it arrogantly boasted to the media that it will begin 30 days of attacks.

"What's Obama gonna do about it?" it's as if the thugs are asking.

When you're dealing with a bully, you have to call him on it.

Here's what Obama's Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer had to say, about new Obama ads preempting McCain's attacks:

"If John McCain thinks he can ‘turn the page’ on the economic crisis facing American families, he is even more out of touch than we imagined. Now there may be no good answers for John McCain due to his erratic response to the financial crisis, but his desire to avoid discussing the economy is something we will remind voters of everyday for the next month."  (NY Times story here).
