Read Nicholas Kristof's article ...Obama cannot win. Read Nicholas Kristof's article in the TIMES today. The attack againstObama as a Muslim has started bigtime and it will strike so much fear, or at the least doubt in the minds of Americans that he will not be elected president if he's the nominee. If you think HIllary's calling him inexperienced is rough politics just look at what is already being said by Republicans. It will be worse than anything we saw against Dukakis and Kerry. And, it will inflame Muslims all over the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-19154538070721309312008-03-08T19:09:00.000-05:002008-03-08T19:09:00.000-05:004:06 PM“Whom would you want as President?” Hillar...4:06 PM<BR/>“Whom would you want as President?” Hillary’s comments were not about putting down McCain; they were about putting down Obama.<BR/><BR/>Hillary said that she and McCain are qualified to be Commander-in-Chief based on their experience, and that Obama is just a speech, i.e. not qualified. It was obviously a comparison and a clear attack on Obama. If she believes (but did not say) that McCain’s experience didn’t qualify him—ie he is a Bushie warmonger or a hothead or a C- Student or any of the things Andy points out so well above--then using McCain to put down Obama doesn’t make sense. Why bring McCain into it at all? Why appear in any way to praise the Republican nominee? Just say that she is more qualified than Obama and be done with it. Otherwise it can leave the impression that somehow we would be better off and safer with a McCain presidency than an Obama one.<BR/><BR/> Your whole analogy about C- students, etc. is based on what she didn’t say. We can’t make any assumptions about her true beliefs from what she doesn’t say. Let her come out and say that it would not be a good thing for McCain to become Commander-in-Chief. If she does….then what’s the point of her attack on Obama? She can’t have it both ways. <BR/><BR/>I am an Obama supporter, but I think that Hillary Clinton is an extraordinary woman and I will definitely vote for her if she is the candidate. I don’t see the contradiction. There is no contradiction between liking Obama and having respect for her. Many people are Clinton supporters but still like Obama.<BR/><BR/>It’s just that these kinds of tactics make me very sad. I agree with everything Andy said above about McCain, and I think that statements from Hillary like this are short-sighted. They may create immediate advantage in a primary, but what will they mean later on if Obama should become the Democratic nominee? I can’t imagine anything worse that could ever happen than McCain winning. After all these years of Bush? Please, please stop and think about it for a minute. Think about the big picture. It is not about Obama and Clinton. The Democratic party must stick together. There is just too much at stake. We will see what Hillary Clinton does in the coming weeks and we will see what Obama does. He says he doesn’t want to get involved in a “knife fight.” Stay tuned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-65022760277121136242008-03-08T16:06:00.000-05:002008-03-08T16:06:00.000-05:00No, 12:03.

She did not say McCain was qualified to do it well. She was making a point about length of experience. They had "done their time." A C- student in any graduating class has "done his time" and is able to graduate along with the A+ student. The C- student can be a bully and cheat but that has nothing to do with his graduating The A student is usually an outstanding member of the class through her entire career.There are of course always other gifted students but they are undergraduates and have not "done the time" and would not be eligible to graduate. Whom would you want as president?<BR/><BR/>I wonder why you would consider a recommendation by Hillary since you seem to think so little of her abilities to discern.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-26468396015686056802008-03-08T12:03:00.000-05:002008-03-08T12:03:00.000-05:00Hillary Clinton has said repeatedly over the last ...Hillary Clinton has said repeatedly over the last few days that John McCain is worthy of being Commander-in-Chief and that settles the case for me. It's a huge thing for her to cross party lines and make an endorsement like that. She is a brilliant woman who deliberates carefully over all her pronouncements.

Even if he were perfect, which he is not, his health alone should make us cautious. I think I see a red, bloody mark on his face each time he appears. We need to see his medical records.<BR/><BR/>Aside from that, anyone could answer the red phone at 3:am and give what we all know would be McCain's quick, unthought=out answer: NUKE 'EM. We do not need a crazy hot head making any decisions not backed up by what we hope would be the more level-headed legislature. That's how we got in this mess -- Bush had the power to start a war after lying about his plans. <BR/><BR/>McCain showed his arrogance by not showing up on time for his meeting with Bush at the White House. No excuse for that display of self-centeredness and resentment. He's passive agressive which is not a productive attribute for a president.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-48645545416962394702008-03-08T09:50:00.000-05:002008-03-08T09:50:00.000-05:00Andy:I like your blog and you do make good points ...Andy:<BR/>I like your blog and you do make good points about John McCain. But of the candidates left in the presidential race in both parties, Senator McCain is heads and shoulders the best candidate. I say this as a lifelong Democrat who has never voted for a Republican for president. I am leaning to McCain this year because I do not think either Democratic candidate still standing has my confidence to answer the crisis phone. McCain has been there and then some. <BR/>Roy HobbsRoy Hobbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604478526765445285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-86480277819533372212008-03-08T08:29:00.000-05:002008-03-08T08:29:00.000-05:00History will ultimately show that President Bush c...History will ultimately show that President Bush cleaned up after President Clinton allowed Al Qaeda to form, train, and practice on American targets in the 1990s.<BR/><BR/>President Clinton enabled OBL to take sanctuary in Afghanistan.<BR/><BR/>President Clinton left the world in a royal mess:<BR/> - WTC 93 bombing<BR/> - Khobar Towers attack<BR/> - USS Cole attack<BR/> - Project Bojinka discovered and ignored<BR/> - Oklahoma City bombing<BR/> - Riyadh bombing<BR/> - TWA Flight 800 (covered up terror attack)<BR/> - Kenya and Tanzania bombings<BR/> - Iraqi Liberation Act (Bush's war built on Clinton lies)<BR/> - Operation Desert Fox (biological, chemical, and nuclear WMD)<BR/> - War in Yugoslavia <B>WITHOUT UN APPROVAL</B><BR/> - the murder of innocent children in Waco Texas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
