I wouldn't be surprised if Obama's camp posted it, since everyone would automatically assume it was Hillary or the GOP smearing him.

That's just my initial reaction to when it was first brought up in the news.

That'd be a pretty ballsy move, since right now the only way for Hillary to win the primary is pretty much for Obama to suffer some sort of scandal. Although, I will admit it is probably better for this photo to be released during the primary, when the stakes are less and the voters that matter are less likely to be affected, plus it gives it time to fade from public view for the general election. However, they're winning pretty well right now so there's no real need for them to have done that.

Obviously this is my own interpretation, and could be waaaay off base. I don't see Obama playing the 'game' the same way that Hilary and McCain play it. Outright attacking for the sake of trying to make his opponant look bad. At least that's not the impression I got from the 3 debates I managed to see. However, I CAN see him capitalizing on the controversy of how Hillary has been attacking him by putting this image out there and just sitting back and letting people assume it was her, or the GOP..whatever. I'd do it, so that's probably why I'm seeing it this way. I also don't think that image would hurt him as much as it would Hillary and the backlash from people thinking she is playing dirty. All he has to do, and has I believe, is explain what it was. Which wasn't anything serious.

I don't know, I am rambling now...sorry.

If you want to post speculation on this sort of thing, then there had better be something more in the way of evidence than just gut feelings. We have to suspended the rules of evidence used on this forum even though it is election year! :x

Why is it so goddamned hard to get little assholes like you to admit it when you fuck up? Is it pride? What gives you the right to have any pride?
