Obama's Giving McCain Enough Rope to Hang HImself With Russia Georgia Reaction
Rob Kall

Snips...

<McCain makes like Billy Goat Gruff and threatens, huffing and puffing.>

<Problem is, he's a gnat on a lions ass >

<Meanwhile, Obama just holds his own, keeping his powder dry, letting McCain run his mouth and fully show what kind of leader he really is and is not. I don't think today's Americans are in the same throes of anti-communism, or fears of the "red menace." I don't think Americans like to see McCain talking so tough, putting the US at risk of a big war we managed to avoid going nuclear in for nigh on 40 years.

Ironically, McCain plays games with politics, even though his surrogates accuse him of stealing the stage with his Commander-in-Chief Demonstration. But McCain and his surrogates are milking this tragedy to the mad.

We'll see where the coming poll meanderings lead us. Meanwhile, Israel must be watching this with great interest.

The Russian incursion into Georgia sets the precedent. They get away with it, so, does that mean Israel does too, when it goes after Iran?

Some say we're re-entering the cold war. Seems pretty hot to me.>

1. Plagiarizing his comments from Wikipedia really makes McBush look like a doofus
or rather more so than he usually looks.

2. McBush is all over the place with his leadership "style". I don't think
the guy thinks at all before he speaks. The last thing we need is some hothead president who can't keep his yap shut, getting us into WWIII just for kicks.

3. Rec'd. I do hope this is calculated on Obama's part. Because
McDoofus will hang himself. For starters, he's sending a 'delegation' composed of Lieberman and Graham over to Georgia? Why, and what authorization has he gotten to do so? And what will those two clowns accomplish?

5. He's not the president; the actual president is going on vacation.
What's your problem? What should Obama have done? You're pissed because he's taking a week off? :eyes:

6. He got to see his grandmother, got to see his grandfather's grave with his children
and gave you an opportunity to criticize him for not taking a phonied-up tough guy stance on that whole mess over there.

It's bad policy for Presidential Candidiates to be flapping their gums at an international crisis, looking for points while standing on the dead bodies of the civilian casualties.

I just love the way some "Democrats" second guess a guy who is playing chess when they are playing red rover.


Learn to spell "accomplish".

7. Just now doing this?
Why, in all these years has he not visited the grandfathers grave. Wasn't he at the funeral? And why wasn't Michelle and the daughters with him when he visited his grandmother? Yeah, I'm pissed, what did Obama have to offer as a remedy to the crisis except his love of shaved ice. Enquiring minds want to know.
