Extremely Confused Would-Be Commander-in-Chief Launches "Harshest Attack Yet" on Woman Who's Not Technically Even His OpponentThis is the man we want leading America-- a simpleton who becomes irrational and unbalanced when challenged by a woman, and continues falling into the trap of having a debate with McCain's junior officer, rather than his actual opponent for the presidency. As Allah says, it's rather rich that Obama, who's requrested three-quarters of a billion dollars in earmarks, including for his wife's hospital, which then coincidentally promoted her and gave her a ginormous raise, should be questioning the pork-appetite of a former mayor and governor. Mayors and governors do not represent the interests of the entire country as Senators do, Obama. A mayor is a local official and a governor a state official. They do not, as Senators, represent both their home constituency and the entire nation at large. But even setting aside that: Palin's dipped her snout into the trough a whole lot less than Obama, who has requested almost $1 million in earmarks for every day he's been in the Senate. In the Senate? Well, not in the Senate most of the time. Let's just say he draws a paycheck from the Senate and leave it at that. I had suggested that Obama would fall into this trap... but I didn't really entirely believe that. I thought he'd lapse into this, but would then be restrained by his coaches and handlers, the people actually running the campaign that supposedly is proof of his competency for the highest executive office. And yet here we are. Another day, another land war in Asia for the scary-qualified leader whose judgment is unimpeachable. I'm not knocking Obama for taking on a woman, mind you (although doing so is made especially problematic, given his dismissive treatment of Hillary in the primaries). I consider Palin his equal -- much more than his mere equal, actually, so it's not a question of "Mean Man picking on Poor Little Lady." Palin can take whatever this naive neophyte can dish out. It's just that... she... is... not... running... for President. But Obama is elevating her to the presidential level. So the race, it seems, consists of two candidates of presidential timber on the Republican side, and one weak, confused jackass on the Democrat side. And somewhere Joe Biden is talking to an unenthusiastic crowd of three dozen people, half of whom were confused by his constant mentions of "Scranton" and showed up in the erroneous belief that he was Dwight K. Shrute from The Office. Norman Conquest explains Obama's variation of "The Chicago Way:" You wanna know how to get McCain? They pull a knife, you pull a hissy fit. Oh! And Obama's attempt to get Hillary to fight his battles for him hasn't worked out so well. She says, basically, "Yeah, sure, I'll get to it when I get to it." You know what can arrest Palinmania? Sebiliusmania! OODA: Several readers and bloggers have noted that McCain is inside Obama's OODA loop (which is, I think, a pilot catchphrase for the decision cycle of Observe-Orient-Decide-Act as elaborated (I think) by 30th level Master Pilot John Boyd). Here's one mistake Obama's making (among many). Sarah Palin is not, in fact, the most easily assailed member of the ticket. John McCain is. And John McCain is, of course, the more important target. Now, I don't have access to their internal polling or their strategy. Perhaps they feel absolutely forced to take on Palin. (And if so -- wow. That means their polling is showing she's a deadly threat to them. And that she is not an "Attack Dog," as vice presidential candidates often are, but some mutant form of Super Killer Attack Dog -- an attack dog people actually bother listening to and believe.) But it is so much easier, it seems to me, to attack John McCain for his weaknesses. But McCain and Palin are just now outright mindfucking him. He probably is smart enough to know he's doing all the wrong things, but he just has no idea of what else he can possibly do. And neither, it seems, does his brain-trust of 300 super-talented scary-smart advisers, who will similarly respond with open-mouthed stupidity if, God forbid, he calls upon them for advice in dealing with Vladimir Putin. JackM's Thoughts: JackM. wrote similar thoughts in an email and suggested I polish it. Well, Jack, I'll polish it the same way I polish most of my stuff-- not at all. But I do think it's plenty polished enough for a blog post, anyway. Is Obama displaying the judgment and cool under fire we want in a CinC? I don't think so. One of the thing that American's look for in a prospective President, and that actually can be revealed by the stress of running for President, is how that would be Commander in Chief, responds to a crisis. | Recent Comments
