Barack Obama is still attempting to paint John McCain as a Bush flunkie. He’s still trying to say that a McCain-Palin administration is Bush’s third term. Here’s his latest video making that silly accusation:

Here’s another video making essentially the same claim:

Nothing says change like someone that’s got a record of taking on corruption in your own political party. For all of Sen. Obama’s bluster that he’s the candidate of change, he’s sorely lacking in accomplishments.

Thursday night, Sen. Obama promised to raise taxes on small businesses. Today, he’s promising to granting more small business loans. That doesn’t sound like change. In fact, it sounds rather Carteresque. At least Bill Clinton’s tax increase was when the economy was weakening.

The Obama campaign had to do something to dent the McCain-Palin coverage. In making these videos, though, they made the outlandish claim that McCain-Palin was more of the same. I’ll guarantee that that claim won’t enhance their credibility.

That’s potentially damaging when contrasted with the McCain-Palin plain-spoken message and track record. Gov. Palin doesn’t just talk the talk like a certain junior senator from Illinois. She’s known for backing up her talk with actions, something that’s sorely missing on the Democratic ticket.

Rest assured that McCain-Palin won’t let these videos go unanswered. When they respond, I’ll bet that it’ll put Team Barry on its heals.

That’s what happens when people make specious accusations.

1. When Palin says she’s going to bring cookies to the PTA meeting or tell the beauty pageant judges she’s in favor of world peace, by God she’ll get the job done.

2. Liem, look at the facts: Palin, in her short time in state government, has brought down major corrupt players, including a U.S. senator. Heck, just getting rid of “The Bridge to Nowhere” is a bigger real accomplishment than anything the new messiah has ever done. Ever.

   Who has your favorite Illinois Chicago machine senator brought down lately? Or ever?

   Seems to me your “change and hope” candidate is as much “same old, same old” as any other candidate in recent memory.

   Bring on the cookies and peace!

3. So how does that makes her ready to be president should McCain not be able to serve if elected?

   And if you really think Obama’s ‘inexperience’ is exactly like Palin’s inexperience, you’re making the same mistake Hillary Clinton did.

4. It doesnt take long in Chicago to learn how to get even. Thats not experience, thats basic survival skills, neither does it give him any thing over Hillary. He beat her by being better at shmooze.
