to reevaluate Obama. I've thought of him as being a little too nice, a little to "above it all." (Plus I disagree with some of this policy positions.) Maybe not. McCain trots out the neocon line:
I was very disappointed to see Senator Obama and Senator Clinton embrace the policy of surrender by voting against funds to support our brave men and women fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This vote may win favor with MoveOn and liberal primary voters, but it's the equivalent of waving a white flag to al Qaeda.
OK -- this is bullshit from the word go. Obama responded:
And if there ever was a reflection of that it's the fact that Senator McCain required a flack jacket, ten armored Humvees, two Apache attack helicopters, and 100 soldiers with rifles by his side to stroll through a market in Baghdad just a few weeks ago.
Obama didn't mention that McCain's little publicity stunt managed to get over 20 market workers assassinated.
If Obama is willing to dust it up a little bit, he might be worth supporting. McCain sure as hell isn't.
