Well, the thesis is done and I’m back to my coveted tendency to waste time whenever, wherever and however possible (I’m like a superhero that way), so back to blogging:
We all know counting is a huge problem for Barack Obama, but who knew it wasn’t limited to a clueless Presidential candidate, but his supporters as well. In a recent attempt to weaken McCain’s position as Commander and Chief, Obama supporter Wesley Clark has gone on record to say that McCain’s leadership experience doesn’t give him experience being a leader:
“He has been a voice on the Senate Armed Services Committee and he has traveled all over the world, but he hasn’t held executive responsibility,” Clark said. “That large squadron in the Navy that he commanded — that wasn’t a wartime squadron.”
“In the matters of national security policy making, it’s a matter of understanding risk,” he said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “It’s a matter of gauging your opponents and it’s a matter of being held accountable. John McCain’s never done any of that in his official positions. I certainly honor his service as a prisoner of war. He was a hero to me and to hundreds of thousands and millions of others in the armed forces, as a prisoner of war.”
Question: If McCain doesn’t have experience as a commander despite being a commander, what the hell experience does Obama have? What has he led (besides a bunch of clueless, moronic supporters who fail to recognize that his campaign a bunch of nothing simply because he gives away Dave Matthews tickets and a bullshit campaign centered on “hope for the future”)? The sad thing here, is that everyone in Obama’s boat will nod their heads sagely and say “Yes, that is quite true. Leadership experience doesn’t grant experience as a leader. What we need is more hope for a longer future. That’s leadership.” And “He was a hero to me and to hundreds of thousands and millions of others in the armed forces, as a prisoner of war.” You and hundreds of thousands and millions, huh? The millions doesn’t include yourself or the hundreds of thousands? Bear with me here, I’m still struggling to understand the concepts of zero and 60 United States comprising the Union, but isn’t “millions” bigger than “hundred thousands?” Again, if Bush said this, imagine the outbreak of “He’s so stupid” choruses that would flood the interwebs and newspapers.
And don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that I’m voting for McCain, but the more I hear from Obama and his supporters, the more I’m inclined to think a a Whopper Jr. would make a better nominee than Barack. Tastier, too.
