Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency.  Governor Palin shares John McCain’s commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush’s failed economic policies — that’s not the change we need, it’s just more of the same.

- Bill Burton, Obama Spokesman

Leave it to the Democrats to continue to their assault on small town America.  I’m proud to be from one of those small towns and I find Mr. Burton’s comments insulting.  Sen. Obama revealed his feelings about small town America months ago when he said that voters in Pennsylvania clung to “guns and religion” out of bitterness.  Seems to me like Sen. Obama just doesn’t understand true American values.  We don’t all shop at Whole Foods and we don’t care what the price arugula is.   

Burton also failed to mention that Governor Palin has more executive experience than Barack Obama and Joe Biden combined.  His charges are terribly uncreative.  The Obama campaign is grasping at straws.  No class.
