PULLEN TO OBAMA: PRESIDENTS CAN'T CUT-AND-RUN!

Phoenix, AZ—Arizona Republican Party Chairman Randy Pullen welcomed to Arizona Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama, junior U.S. senator from Illinois, with the following advice: “President’s don’t get to cut-and-run from tough decisions, Senator,” Pullen said.

After cancelling a campaign trip to South Carolina last month to return to cast “critical” votes in the U.S. Senate, Mr. Obama mysteriously skipped the Senate’s vote condemning MoveOn.Org for their cowardly personal attack on General Petraeus, who they falsely accused of betraying the United States.

“Senator Obama cast votes before the MoveOn.org vote and after the MoveOn.org vote that day,” Pullen said. “Maybe he got lost? Or because he’s more concerned about not upsetting this ultra-liberal group that will do or say anything to win elections Senator Obama cut-and-ran rather than telling the American people what he felt about an important issue.

“At least Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is bold enough to stand up and surrender to the terrorists and Democrat U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is bold enough to push for the largest tax increase in American history,” Pullen said. “Right or wrong, they stand up for what they believe in, day in and day out. Senator Obama, however, doesn’t show up to be counted – and that isn’t very presidential.”
