Obama should go if he wants to seriously pretend to be a serious candidate. McCain shouldn’t have had to goad him into going! Anyone who wants to be commande in chief should understand this situation. We are a nation at war wih Radical Islam (is there any other kind? Ask the Danes, English, Spanish, Germans and NewYorkers) and we have a presidntial candidate who says inhis book, “if the wind blows in a unfavoable direction, I will stand with the Muslims.” That’s Obama!

John McCain wants to talk about his wisdom concerning Iraq. Neither John McCain or George W. Bush know anything about wisdom in Iraq. They led us into this quagmire and here we set five years on. John McCain has no room to lecture anyone on Iraq, he voted for this war and when changes needed to be made to get us out, his reply was “STAY THE COURSE”. Now America will answer that response, just as they did in the Mid-Term elections. Republicans will be sent packing once again.

McCain’s support for this ILLEGAL war, yet disagreement about how it was executed, is tantamount to a criminal aurguing about the best way to rob a bank during a heist instead of realizing that robbing the bank is wrong in the first d*mn place! Why visit a place that should have never been INVADED? All the EXCUSES for going to war are bogus.

One final thing… I HATE when people say, “we haven’t been attacked since 9-11, so this must be working”. Jeez, common sense (or anti-terrorism training) would tell you that a large-scaled attack is something that terrorists plan, plot, and strategize over for a very long time. Remember, it was 8 years between the 2 twin tower attacks. This is a game of chess to them, and we think just because they aren’t going back to back with attacks, its working. Give me a break.

Senator Obama…you are a piece of work…what diversions? What distractions? The substance of Iraq is that we are winning since the surge…if you would wrap your brain around that you’d be a lot more believable. You are the one, Sir, with no foreign policy or foreign policy experience. You are the one making statements about sitting down with terrorist leaders with no preconditions, you are the one who is calling the efforts of our servicemen and women a “failure.” Let’s talk about diversions and distractions…what about Wright and 20 years, what about Ayers and what about the Chicago political machine. We have been distracted from those issues by Senator Clinton’s continued campaign, but we will be heard on those issues.

The founder and defender of Fox News Rupert Murdoch says he thinks Obama will win in a landslide because of widespread unhappiness with the current administration. He feels McCain has been forced to compromise after along career in the senate and doesn’t stand for much. He is leaning toward voting for Obama.

If John McCain believes he has gleaned some keen insight into Iraq simply by walking down a pre-sanitized Baghdad street, talking with a military commander and isolated by a 50 person security/entourage bubble then he is a fool. I’m surprised Obama is now considering a trip as it will also be nothing but a political stunt. Bad move for Obama – looks like McCain has Obama on the run. Kudos to McCain camp for setting a clever trap.

The founder — and defender — of Fox News said he expected Obama to win in a landslide, citing widespread unhappiness with the current administration and his disenchantment with Republican contender John McCain. Murdoch added that after a long career in the Senate, McCain had been forced to compromise too much and doesn’t stand for much. Murdoch even nonchalantly owned up to influencing the New York Post to back Obama in the New York primary.

During the Q&A, I pressed Murdoch — a new U.S. citizen — on whether he would actually vote for Obama in November. He said he was leaning toward it, but would know in the next six months. When I asked if I could call him, he said yes, then joked I could probably just figure it out from reading the Post.

Will somebody change the batteries in McCain, he sounds like a war robot (or at least give him something different to say from time to time). Once they sit down for a debate everyone will see who’s better suited to run the country.

Obama continues to steam roll over the competition on with his message of change… the only thing I have seen him change is his message…
