The Obama Talking Point Solidifies

So far, the strategy seems to be: belittle Sarah Palin's accomplishments. Right. Let me know how that works out for you, Senator Community Organizer.

OBAMA: Well, you know, my understanding is, is that Governor Palin's town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We have got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month.

So, I think that our ability to manage large systems and to execute, I think, has been made clear over the last couple of years. And, certainly, in terms of the legislation that I passed just dealing with this issue post-Katrina of how we handle emergency management, the fact that many of my recommendations were adopted and are being put in place as we speak, I think, indicates the degree to which we can provide the kinds of support and good service that the American people expect.

It's really quite revealing that Obama is forced to ignore the office Palin currently holds in order to make the case he's more experienced.

(Thanks to Eukardios in the comments for suggesting the change in Obama's title.)

Update - Oh, goody. The Obama campaign has decided another excellent line of attack will be to paint her as a Nazi sympathizer for wearing a Buchanan button once. She wore the button because Buchanan was visiting her town, and she was the mayor. Palin was a Forbes supporter. They've gone barking mad.
