Fred Thompson Attacks Barack Obama, Hails John McCain

Former Law and Order Actor Fred Thompson said of Obama: What has he done besides give "a teleprompter speech designed to appeal to America's critics abroad?" It brought the greatest applause and some stood.Thompson said Obama was the most inexperienced candidate ever, or something like that.Obama is refusing to fight back on the inexperience ground. He needs to get out there and hit hard. They are not just the radical right and wrong on the issues, 1/2 of their ticket, by any standard, lacks even a modicum of the skills and experience necessary to lead the country if need be.Since Obama's unlikely to do that, the MSM and blogs will have to do it for him.

Defending Governor Sarah Palin, John McCain’s vice-presidential running mate, from a storm of criticism by Democrats, Fred Thomson brought cheering Republicans to their feet life as he hailed her as a “breath of fresh air”.The former Tennessee senator gave Republican activists the red meat rhetoric they had been waiting for by lashing the liberal media, branding Democrats as elitists and holding up Mrs Palin, 44, as the beacon of ordinary American values.“She is from a small town, with small town values, but that's not good enough for those folks who are attacking her and her family,” he said.Mr Thompson also mocked Mr Obama for giving “a teleprompter speech designed to appeal to American critics abroad”, a reference to his speech before 200,000 Germans in Berlin”.
