When speaking of politicians, I usually reserve the term “moron” exclusively for Joe Biden and his debilitating case of foot-in-mouth disease. However, Obama really blew it in tonight’s debate, showing just how unqualified and dangerous a presidential pick he is. But, being a woman of principle, I won’t be awarding any moron points tonight. Instead, I’m just hitting the highlights here of Obama’s most underwhelming moments.
Question: What sacrifices will you ask Americans to make? Obama starts talking about energy (read: dodging the question) before offering some Marxist rhetoric and finally concluding that he will expand the Peace Corps. Obama’s asking us to support another big government program. I’m shocked! For the record, McCain talked about asking Americans to give up programs that aren’t working. Hmm…I can think of quite a few of those, can’t you?
Obama -Most small businesses don’t earn more than $250,000. I’m still in shock over this statement.
Brokaw -”I’m just the hired help.” The most intelligent think Brokaw said all night! Yes. You ARE the hired help, Brokaw! You were hired to moderate the debate. YOUR OPINION DOESN’T MATTER. Get over it, you relic of the crumbling elitist MSM!
Question: How do you reorganize the US Strategy in Afghanistan? Obama – Says he’s going to make the Iraqi government take responsibility—Impressive! But HOW? How do you “make” the Iraqi’s do anyhing? I’m dying to know…
Obama – “Nobody called for the invasion of Pakistan.” Let’s review…
From The Washington Post:
“When I am president, we will wage the war that has to be won. The first step must be to get off the wrong battlefield in Iraq and take the fight to the terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/01/AR2007080101233.html
Hmmm…that sounds a little bit like an invasion to me. It must’ve to the Pakistani’s, too…maybe that’s why the immediately protested.

The rest of the debate was just too boring and lame for me to waste any more of my time commenting on it. If you haven’t made the comparison yet between a man who has spent his entire life in service to his country, both as a war hero and as a Senator, and another man who did whoever knows what as a “community organizer” while maintaining friendships with his black supremacist pastor along with unrepentant terrorist William Ayers…well, nothing I say here will persuade you any differently.
With that, I wish you a good night, until the next debate!

The Peace Corps 1. puts the best of America right into the backyards of often critical Foreign countries, 2. spreads the kind of good will/PR that is harder to transmit in an “invasion” or “occupation,’ 3. builds better American citizens with global intelligence, 4. was heartily supported by Reagan when I was a volunteer during his term in the 80s.
