The GOP's Offensive Against Barack Obama: Democratic Politicians Speaking Against Him

Yesterday the GOP and John McCain took their first steps in launching the general election campaign against Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee for presidency and today we see an ad and quotes from Democratic Politicians against Obama.

The video above is but a small sample of the quotes that the GOP have saved up from high profile Democratic politicians speaking about how naive Barack Obama is, how inexperienced and how certain of his comments are "dangerous". The general election campaign has now started in earnest. Some of those quotes being shown are from people like Joe Biden (D-DE), speaking on ABC's "This Week" on 8/19/07 where George Stephanopoulos asked Biden, "You were asked is he ready. You said 'I think he can be ready, but right now I don't believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training", and Biden responded with, "I think that I stand by the statement." The Senator Chriss Dodd, (D-CT), reported by the Washington Post's The Trail on 8/2/07, as saying, "Over the past several days. ... Senator Obama's assertions about foreign and military affairs have been, frankly, confusing and confused. He has made threats he should not make and made unwise categorical statements about military options." The have a page full of statements from Democratic politicians, including Hillary Clinton, many more from Dodd and Biden, one from Former Governor Tom Vilsack (D-IA) and John Edwards, former presidential candidate. The Republican National Committee research briefing in titled, "With friends like these... Will Obama Address His Fellow Democrats’ Attacks On His Policies, Judgment And Readiness?" The webpage is here and the PDF file of the reasearch briefing is here. Many said that when the Democrats had finally chosen their presumptive nominee that the GOP would need to do nothing but use the Democratic politicians own words against Barack Obama as their advertisements and proof of what the GOP contends, which is that Barack Obama doesn't have the experience or judgment to become the President of the United States of America. Those that made that prediction were spot on because it started yesterday and this is but the first round of the general election season.
