Obama's Michael Dukakis Moment?
It appears that Obama in Iraq is in grave danger of committing another Michael Dukakis. You know, where Dukakis is riding in a tank with a helmet, looking totally out-of-place?
It seems to be much the same with Obama in Iraq. Like some out-of-place Alfred E. Neuman, Obama is over there telling military generals and foreign policy experts how to run the war.
On one side of the room are the seasoned officers and military generals, who have been in Iraq and Afghanistan for a couple years now. Along with foreign policy experts on that area of the world.
And over there is Obama. Like some goofy-looking cross between Alfred E. Neuman and Rocket J. Squirrel, telling all of the military brass how to run the war.
I think that it highlights a serious problem of Obama's: Arrogance. Since when is HE so smart. What evidence is there that HE has all the answers. He has never even gone thru Basic Training. He has hardly even visited the area. But yet he is telling all of the military and foreign-policy experts, who have been fighting and sweating over there for years, what they need to do. What makes HIM so special? What evidence is there that he knows his posterior from a hole in the ground?
Very little, I would say.
I am getting increasingly impatient with Obama's refusal to debate McCain. First, he refused to debate Hillary for the final 2 months of the primary. Now, he refuses to debate McCain. Instead, all we get are endless TV commercials and long, boring speeches.
It is only by seeing Obama under STRESS, in a head-to-head encounter with McCain, that people will come to feel they know him in any way. I do NOT watch his TV ads and I do NOT listen to his speeches. These are just BS.
I want to see what the guy is made of.
