Call the Waaaaambulance, they endorsed Obama!
So, someone over at 2 Political Junkies seems a bit upset that the Post-Gazette endorsed Obama. Even though I think the endorsement is great, it’s still up to the individual to make up their own minds and not rely on who is endorsing whom.
An anonymous reponse:
“I know you’re obsessed with a woman becoming president. Mo Dowd was right. We could use a woman. Just not this one.”
Excellent point. This country could use an awesome woman as president. Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton is not that woman… nor is she awesome.
I agree with Bram R’s comments:
“When you follow some of the links, you provided, you only get to some news stories that describe in even greater detail why Clinton is the less preferable choice for office. And the quote you link to, above, seems to be just one random persons’ opinion, some of which are about issues I don’t recall even hearing in the campaign.
“I don’t hold Obama to super-high standards. I believe he has vastly superior political ability to Hillary Clinton. I also believe he has more often gotten it right in the clutch. And when you get down to it, the trouble he gets into is more often the result of his telling truths rather than falsehoods.”
I’ve refrained from commenting on Obama’s remarks last week - about guns and religions - but I have firsthand knowledge that the comments are, in fact, true. I just have to look at a portion of my extended family. While they may not all be bitter, they encompass the two things Obama mentioned. One of my extended family members is an avid reader and sender of Obama disinformation - one email sent just after this “gaffe” that Obama was out to take away guns and replace Christianity with Islam.
Now, yes, he could have phrased what he said in a much different tone; been a bit more savvy in his words; or perhaps explained why he picked those two specific things as examples to lessen the perceived “blow” to the citizens of Pennsylvania. However, that doesn’t mean that what he said isn’t true. It just goes with the saying, more people will forgive you for being wrong than they will for being correct.
Tom Ridge calls Obama’s comments a rookie mistake and that they show he’s not ready for the office. This as opposed to all of the mistakes and misleadings Bush has made over the last eight years?
