Obama's a poosie

Pretty harsh closing:

A few more big-ticket items and she'll be the co-nominee. Maybe that's the point.

It reminds me of a Cold War joke about how the Russians view a compromise. They come to the table and announce the rules: What's mine is mine, what's yours is negotiable.

How would President Obama respond?

I think we just found out.

Good to see the Fear Police are still at work.

Bush will not go down in history as the worst President ever.  He sucks, but book that.

Look back in history if you want some perspective.  James Buchanan says hi, for starters.

[Seabiscuit36]

so, its looking like Biden will end up VP, or at the worst Sec of State if Obama wins it as he should. 

[Phanatic]

I kind of like Biden on foreign policy stuff.

What people mean when they say "Worst President in History" is the worst in their history - usually counting all three or four presidents they actually remember.

Even on that score I remember Carter being pretty bad. Though at least there wasn't 8 years of him.

Well, that's the Democrats' fault for nominating the Frankenstein monster.


P.S.  Biden IN

Well, that's the Democrats' fault for nominating the Frankenstein monster.

"It's not my fault I voted for the worst president in the history of the United States instead of the decorated American Vietnam veteran, because after all he looked like Frankenstein."

Dr. Phillip Butler (USNA '61) was a hall mate of John McCain's at the Naval Academy. He was a Vietnam War light-attack carrier pilot. He was a POW for 8 years in North Vietnam during the time that McCain was in captivity. He has two Silver Stars, two Legion of Merits, two Bronze Stars and two Purple Heart medals.

Here is what he had to say after many requests for his opinion on Senator McCain and his run for Presidency:

http://www.military.com/opinion/0,15202,164859_1,00.html

Senator John Sidney McCain, III is a remarkable man who has made enormous personal achievements. And he is a man that I am proud to call a fellow POW who "Returned With Honor." That's our POW motto. But since many of you keep asking what I think of him, I've decided to write it out. In short, I think John Sidney McCain, III is a good man, but not someone I will vote for in the upcoming election to be our President of the United States.

Most of us who survived that experience are now in our late 60's and 70's. Sadly, we have died and are dying off at a greater rate than our non-POW contemporaries. We experienced injuries and malnutrition that are coming home to roost. So I believe John's age (73) and survival expectation are not good for being elected to serve as our President for 4 or more years.

I can verify that John has an infamous reputation for being a hot head. He has a quick and explosive temper that many have experienced first hand. Folks, quite honestly that is not the finger I want next to that red button.

It is also disappointing to see him take on and support Bush's war in Iraq, even stating we might be there for another 100 years. For me John represents the entrenched and bankrupt policies of Washington-as-usual. The past 7 years have proven to be disastrous for our country. And I believe John's views on war, foreign policy, economics, environment, health care, education, national infrastructure and other important areas are much the same as those of the Bush administration.

I'm disappointed to see John represent himself politically in ways that are not accurate. He is not a moderate Republican. On some issues he is a maverick. But his voting record is far to the right. I fear for his nominations to our Supreme Court, and the consequent continuing loss of individual freedoms, especially regarding moral and religious issues. John is not a religious person, but he has taken every opportunity to ally himself with some really obnoxious and crazy fundamentalist ministers lately. I was also disappointed to see him cozy up to Bush because I know he hates that man. He disingenuously and famously put his arm around the guy, even after Bush had intensely disrespected him with lies and slander. So on these and many other instances, I don't see that John is the "straight talk express" he markets himself to be.

"It's not my fault I voted for the worst president in the history of the United States instead of the decorated American Vietnam veteran, because after all he looked like Frankenstein."

Bush certainly did not need my help to beat Kerry in NC in 2004.

Dr. Phillip Butler (USNA '61) ....

So, another old crusty senile veteran's opinion is that McCain is... an old crusty senile veteran?
