Obama follows “the Chicago way”… eventually
Barack Obama caused a minor stir back in June when he quoted The Untouchables in referring to the inevitable Republican attacks against him:
“If they bring a knife to the fight…
… we bring a gun.â€
Okay, so maybe it took more like bringing three knives, but whatever.
Update: About two weeks ago, when McCain started his “celebrity” shtick, I wrote that “I think the frontal assault on the crowds turning out to see Obama will really backfire. As I’m sure Barack himself will point out soon, they’re showing up because times are so difficult, and they so desperately want a change for the better.”
Today, the Obama campaign finally started adopting this approach. Look for it to be a major riff in his acceptance speech at the convention.
Stumble it!
