At least Obama is intelligent.

but that does not mean he is wise.

At least he will always have us to harass him. :-)

Golly, you’d think McCain would have coached him on how to operate that thing.

especially since McCain invented it!

BTW, John McCain is very very old. He also helped invent the stone tablet.

this one i lay at obama’s feet too. his campaign rhetoric has been extremely dangerous.

As I understand it he’s said two major things:
1) We will not let Iran have nuclear weapons.
2) We will get Al Qaeda regardless of any other nation’s interests.

What’s the problem?

‘Why didn’t anyone tell the Czech Ambassador that the meeting had been ‘moved’ to a ‘private’ house?

John McCain called up the Czechoslovakian embassy and nobody answered.

Isn’t this the type of “emergency” situation that the reserves are designed for?

Maybe this is some kind of September surprise….national emergency…everything falling apart…bugga, bugga…Remember, W can declare a national emergency at will and fork everything up even more…they won’t go quietly.

John McCain is old…very very old.

not saying anyone should – that’s a decision that imo each person should make for themselves. what i am advocating for is that we all consider it – make the choice to use or not use what leverage we do have. that is all.

I am of the school that Obama is smart and is saying things to get elected. His aggressiveness re Afghanistan and Pakistan are plays to the nationalists, a kind of wrapping himself in the flag. After he’s elected he should moderate. That’s my plan. I hope it’s his.

This doesn’t change the fact that we don’t have leverage. It’s time to think about how we might get some.
