Staffing issues

Tuesday, 13th May 2008

For all of Obama’s talk of the new politics, there’s one very old political dodge he’s rather fond of: blaming the staff. ABC’s Jack Tapper counts up 14 incidents in which Obama has claimed that some problem was caused not by him but by a staff member; Obama is particularly fond of this line when things show up suggesting that  he’s shifted his political positions towards the centre now that he’s running for national office. At some point before this is over, this excuse is going to wear rather thin.

His handwriting is even on one of the questionaires!

Not one voter will care a whit about this. Let's talk about something relevant instead. Like, for example, the fact that a novice has beaten two seasoned veterans at their own game by snatching their base from underneath them.

Voters can be made to care.
If I was on McCain's team I'd be preparing the ads now, or writing speeches for the V.P. nominee to refer to this.
Show Obama blaming staff members and then say something like. 'President Truman knew where the buck stops. Why doesn't Senator Obama?'
