We've been following the Obama campaign's tactics designed to to convince the elderly to vote for him. Here is the latest. This is disgusting on levels that are hard to fathom.
In the video below, there are kids who are teaching the viewer how to talk to their parents, aunts or uncles and grandparents about the importance of voting. One of the people in the video says that he told his grandmother that if she voted Obama, "maybe she wouldn't have to buy me that extra sweater come the Fall." He advises the viewer to call them a lot, because "they love the attention." Got that, use the fact that they love you and love hearing from you to manipulate them into voting Obama.
Another great piece of advice is to get the other grandkids to help you gang up on them. He says that really "lowers the defenses." He also says he told his grandparents that if they don't vote Obama, he's not helping them with text messaging and Tivo. Shameless!
The video syncs with our earlier report explaining why Obama has resulted to the tactic of ganging up on the elderly.
The Obama campaign has now realized that there is no great groundswell of youth votes coming. The latest Gallup Poll show that the percentage of registered first time voters is exactly the same as it was in 2004. What does that mean for Obama? It means it's time to start scaring the old into voting for him. That's what this trip to Hawaii to take care of his typical white grandmother is all about. Yes, the same grandmother he threw under the bus to get himself out of the Jeremiah Wright scandal. The same grandmother who, despite his claims that she is gravely ill, was released from the hospital days before Obama planned to return. She suffered a broken hip. Not exactly life-threatening. In fact, Nancy Reagan suffered the exact same injury last week. There are no rumors of her demise.
So why is Obama visiting his grandmother now, of all times? What is Obama's plan? I'd call it a cleverly concocted plan to woo the senior vote, but, if I'm able to figure it out, it can't be all that clever. Allow me to enlighten you as to the details of Obama's plan. Step 1 (day 1), play the doting grandson and rush to your grandmother's bedside under the pretense that she's near death. Step 2 (day 2), unleash a barrage of lies in television ads about McCain wanting to cut medicare. A claim that has been proven as an outright lie. And step 3? Step 3 (day 3) is unparalleled in political history. Step 3 is to create an army of goose-stepping, children of the corn like grandchildren and tell them to "hopenotize" their grandparents into voting for Obama.
This is beyond disturbing. I'm surprised they aren't telling the grandchildren of the corn to take a few $20 bills from grandma's purse for the campaign effort.
From Blogs for John McCain:
I recently visited the Obama.com website and was disturbed by the section asking younger voters to call their Grandparents to convince them to vote for Obama.Here's what's at the Obama campaign web page:
How despicable is it to encourage your aged Grandparents to change their minds to vote for Obama using their love for you to convince them. It's OUTRAGEOUS! It's not surprising that the post was inspired by the Huffington Post Website.

It gets worse:
All this speaks directly to my theory that Obama knows there is no big youth vote coming and he is pressing hard at the midnight hour to get the senior citizen vote. Yesterday I wrote:
So Obama leaves his campaign to tend to his sick grandmother who is not so sick. At the same time, he is running false ads about McCain taxing Medicare and social security. All this is an obvious ploy to attract the senior vote. Why? Because the latest gallup poll shows no increase in first time voters. Simply put, there is no great Obama youth vote. And that means it's time to scare the old.Absolutely! The youth vote being non-existent, Obama is now falling back on the old Democrat trick of scaring the hell out of the old.
Hey! Obama! Leave them kids alone!
