Obama Still Whining About Britney Spears and Paris Hilton

Hey, Barry, don't you think it's maybe time to move on? Here this lightweight laments not talking about "serious issues" while he mocks John McCain's lack of e-mail prowess.

Barack Obama accused Republicans on Friday of trying to shift the focus of the presidential debate away from serious issues such as the economy and toward frivolous subjects like lipstick, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

Taking on a feistier tone, the Democratic presidential hopeful sought to show his supporters he wants to fight back aggressively against escalating attacks by his rival John McCain.

Democrats have become concerned about the momentum gained by McCain and his new running mate as polls have shown McCain has pulled even or slightly ahead of Obama, erasing the lead the Democratic presidential nominee held throughout the summer.

“You’ve seen the other side not want to spend any time talking about the issues,” Obama said. “I mean, what have they been talking about? They’ve been talking about lipstick. They’ve been talking about pigs. They’ve been talking about Britney. They’ve been talking about Paris.”

Wow, talk about incoherent. It was Obama who called Sarah Palin a pig with the lipstick reference and as far as I can recall, no Republicans has mentioned Britney or Paris of late.

So why on earth does he continue to step in it?

Is poking fun at a disabled veteran a serious issue, Barry?

“Here’s what I can guarantee you: We are going to be hitting back hard. We have been hitting back hard. We have been hitting back hard but we’re hitting back on the issues that matter to families,” Obama said earlier in the day at an event in Dover, N.H.

Bring it on, punk.
