This makes me sick. Come on America, if this is what we are getting before he is in office, how easy will he twist the truth and lie to you once he is in office?
He is running an ad that states, “Obama wants to teach sex to Kindergartners” this is a recycled moment from the Alan Keys campaign.
Protection of children from predators in McCain’s mind is a sick thing.
The McCain campaign has released a new ad, “Education,” that suggests Barack Obama favors teaching sex education to kindergartners. A McCain aide tells CBS News the ad will air on Fox News and in select markets in Pennsylvania, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
“Education Week says Obama ‘hasn’t made a significant mark on education,'” an announcer says as the spot opens. “That he’s ‘elusive’ on accountability. A ‘staunch defender of the existing public school monopoly.'”
The announcer continues: “Obama’s one accomplishment? Legislation to teach ‘comprehensive sex education’ to kindergartners. Learning about sex before learning to read? Barack Obama. Wrong on education. Wrong for your family.”
Campaign spokesman Robert Gibbs told CBS News the legislation Obama supported provided information to children on what to watch for when with an adult they don’t know, such as inappropriate advances or touching.
“It is shameful and downright perverse for the McCain campaign to use a bill that was written to protect young children from sexual predators as a recycled and discredited political attack against a father of two young girls – a position that his friend Mitt Romney also holds,” Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement. “Last week, John McCain told Time magazine he couldn’t define what honor was. Now we know why.”

Sex Ed for Kindergarteners ‘Right Thing to Do,’ Says Obama

ABC News’ Teddy Davis and Lindsey Ellerson Report: Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., told Planned Parenthood Tuesday that sex education for kindergarteners, as long as it is “age-appropriate,” is “the right thing to do.”
“I remember Alan Keyes . . . I remember him using this in his campaign against me,” Obama said in reference to the conservative firebrand who ran against him for the U.S. Senate in 2004. Sex education for kindergarteners had become an issue in his race against Keyes because of Obama’s work on the issue as chairman of the health committee in the Illinois state Senate.
“‘Barack Obama supports teaching sex education to kindergarteners,'” said Obama mimicking Keyes’ distinctive style of speech. “Which — I didn’t know what to tell him (laughter).”
“But it’s the right thing to do,” Obama continued, “to provide age-appropriate sex education, science-based sex education in schools.”

The lipstick stupidity. They are the ones who will do anything to win. Obama has principles and he’s called unpatriotic. McCain uses tired political lies and he is considered a patriot.
It’s like we’re living in some sort of crazy alternate reality!
Obama has sunk to a new low in his campaign tactics and in the polls.
He was sexist in his run against Clinton, and he’s sexist now.
Just one – the lipstick thing is silly. Did Palin call women Bitches? She likened them to female Pit Bulls?
Same reasoning. Or is her inner redneck showing and being a Bitch is a proud moment for her?
