I would just like to say KUDOS to the Obama campaign staff

I'm thinking back to Kerry... when he was swiftboated, the campaign staff was like a deer in the headlights. they thought you can just sit back and ignore attacks, and his smile will win the election.

The Obama campaign staff is doing an excellent job, fighting back against outrageous accusations. the "apology tour" and "Obama is failing on the economy" memes are failing bigtime thanks to coordinated efforts. They are fighting back, not only with facts and figures, but also with catchy soundbytes that capture the attention of the american people.

Not only are they fighting back, but they're going on the offense. The 47% gaffe is just a couple days old and we're already seeing the Obama campaign staff dig right into it, as well they should.

Good job!
