Obama On The Ropes

by Jack Kelly - September 14th, 2008 - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

The McCain campaign is betting Mr. Obama's ego is so great and his skin so thin that he can't resist responding to the barbs Ms. Palin delivers with such a sweet smile. So far, they're winning the bet.

The bitter words Mr. Obama had for the news media in Norfolk on Wednesday suggest a campaign overcome by panic and confusion. And ingratitude, considering the way his friends in the press have stacked the deck on his behalf.

Egotistical. Thin skinned. Ingrate. In a panic over a woman Governor he claims is not his equal. There are still 7 weeks in this campaign but you have to wonder how long it will take for people to forget the pitiful performance of Barack Obama the last two weeks. He has not shown much Presidential poise.
