The current narrative is that the election is a referendum on Obama, and he is unknown, uppity, inexperienced, etc. You fell for it by running this story without pointing out that Pawlenty is just parroting the party line. Your headline says exactly what it would say if it were written by McSame himself

The Jerusalem Post interviewed Obama while he was in Israel for an article entitled “Obama on Iran, Syria, and Jerusalem.”

They open the article with a comparison of Obama to their previous interviews with Bush and McCain. I’ll only list what they said about McCain and Obama since Bush is irrelevant.

Pay particular attention to what the columnist says about McCain and McCain’s interaction with Lieberman. And he uses the word “flummoxed.”

On McCain
In March, on his whirlwind visit to Israel, Republican presidential nominee John McCain, one of whose primary strengths is said to be his intimate grasp of foreign affairs, chose to bring along Sen. Joe Lieberman to the interview our diplomatic correspondent Herb Keinon and I conducted with him, looked to Lieberman several times for reassurance on his answers and seemed a little flummoxed by a question relating to the nuances of settlement construction.

For Obama, pay particular attention to the last sentence in the second paragraph. .

On Obama
On Wednesday evening, toward the end of his packed one-day visit here, Barack Obama, the Democratic senator who is leading the race for the White House and who lacks long years of foreign policy involvement, spoke to The Jerusalem Post with only a single aide in his King David Hotel room, and that aide’s sole contribution to the conversation was to suggest that the candidate and I switch seats so that our photographer would get better lighting for his pictures.

Several of Obama’s Middle East advisers – including former Clinton special envoy Dennis Ross and ex-ambassador to Israel Daniel Kurtzer – were hovering in the vicinity. But Obama, who was making only his second visit to Israel, knew precisely what he wanted to say about the most intricate issues confronting and concerning Israel, and expressed himself clearly, even stridently on key subjects.
—————-

God forbid this information would be repeated over and over on the cable shows. It would certainly give citizens a true picture of Obama unlike the endless loop of the McCain’s lying ad and “why isn’t Obama doing better in the polls.” Maybe if people knew this kind of information, he would be doing better in the polls.

Instead of any discussion of competence the discussion is that Obama’s too arrogant – he’s presumptuous, even too presidential. God forbid we have a competent President.

Which of these men do you want to control the future of the country? God help us if you say McCain.

On June 16 Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) offered “a bit of a capitulation to the oil companies” by announcing that he would end the federal ban on offshore oil drilling. Not only is McCain’s move a break with environmental activist, but it is also “a reversal of the position he took in his 2000 presidential campaign.” The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank writes:

During his last run for the presidency, in 1999, McCain supported the drilling moratorium, and he scolded the “special interests in Washington” that sought offshore drilling leases. Yesterday, he announced that those very same “moratoria should be lifted” and proposed incentives for the states “in the form of tangible financial rewards, if the states decide to lift those moratoriums.”

In 2000, McCain promised to “never lose sight” of fundamental principles on the issue.

What did this get for John McCain? Money, money, money

A new report by Campaign Money Watch shows that contributions to McCain from Big Oil skyrocketed directly following his June speech in Houston, when he pledged his support of offshore drilling before an audience oil executives. The report notes:

In Texas alone, June oil and gas-connected donations to McCains Victory 08 Fund, his hybrid fundraising venture with the RNC and state committees, reached $1,214,100.

Of that total, $881,450, or 73 percent, came after June 15. McCain announced his position in favor of offshore drilling on June 16.

Electing Senator Obama is way too risky. He has practically no political experience! If he became president, he would have to face all sorts of decisions – whether or not to pull out of Iraq; how to deal with Islamoterrorists; how to work with this economy. The list goes on and on.

I want someone who knows what they’re doing in the White House – John McCain!

Mac ‘n Mike ’08 !
