Name Games

Looks like the GOP is ready to play name games with Senator Obama. They've started throwing out the terms they want their surrogates to use. "Arrogant" and "Opportunistic" are the ones they are using the most. These are code words to imply "uppity black man" to the American public. GOP surrogates are more than willing to get these phrases out there and try to paint a false picture.

However...let's look at the picture Americans are really seeing:

Gas...over $4.50 a gallon and climbing.

Milk...over $4.00 a gallon and climbing.

Iraq war casualties...over 4000 and climbing.

Iraq war injured...over 40,000 and climbing.

Americans without health care...over 40 million and climbing.

High School dropout rate in America's 50 largest cities...over 40 per cent and climbing.

And the GOP wants to play school yard games? This is all they can bring to the national discussion?

Time for a change!
