Pretty heavy handed!
On a positive note, according to "This Week with George Stephanopolous," it's the first week since the beginning of the Iraq war with no American casualties. Bad news for Obama-- could the surge really be working? Luckily, he changed his mind, and perhaps he won't be bringing the troops home as quickly as he promised.
Also on "This Week," we saw turncoat Joe Lieberman-- a former Democrat, and former Democratic vice-Presidential candidate who is so right-leaning he's officially become an Independent and now supports most Republican endeavours, even endorsing McCain for president-- whew, take a breath! --we saw Joe invoking the of fear of terrorism by reminding us the last two terrorist attacks on American soil have occurred soon after the last two presidents took office-- the bombing of the World Trade Center in '93, and the 9/11 attacks. How will the new president be "tested?" --he asks.
Since McCain, by his own admission, can't operate a computer-- is he trying to get a sympathy vote from the Coral Gables set? -- I'd rather trust the guy who's as up-to-date as the people we're trying to defeat. I hear Osama (no, not Obama) is glued to his Mac, constantly updating Perez Hilton to find out the latest on the Madonna/A-Rod/Guy Ritchie imbroglio, whereas McCain's VCR still flashes "12:00."
I prefer experience over the fresh and the new, but some experience is best used for regaling your fellow gray-haireds while sipping Tom Collinses at the clubhouse, not for leading the country out of the mess the other old boys lead us into.
