Desperation

Ed Morrissey notes two signs of Desperation from Obama.

He's gone with the race card again. As Morrissey observes, it's hard to take Obama at his word, given that the Republicans have done nothing of the sort he accuses them of. If they had, the media would be broadcasting it and making a big story of it. And rightly so. McCain trying to scare people away Obama because of his race would be huge news.

Shame it's not real.

And Obama is getting emotional about Palin's mockery of his touting his experience as a Community Organizer. Obama “[Palin] wants to be treated same way guys want to be treated, which means their records are under scrutiny. I’ve been through this for 19 months. She’s been through it, what four days?”

Yes Barry, because your past has been under such a deep, deep spotlight. Or maybe you think the media should dig around even more about Palin. I'm sure that'll play just great.

Obama could have diffused the charges that he had no responsibilities and no real accomplishments as a Community Organizer by actually listing them. I've said it before, but that would have easily and powerfully defeated Palin's argument.

So why didn't he do just that?

Instead Obama goes off and whines that Palin is mocking all Community Organizers and all the work they do.

Nice... but he still hasn't said what he has done. Which was Palin's entire point.

Also note that Obama continues to deal with Palin personally.
He's defining her as his opponent. Poor, poor move.

He should let Biden deal with her.
