Enjoyed the phrase “Second Fiddle to a Second Fiddle,” but instead of running away screaming I had to laugh. Can you imagine D.C. crowded with Barry, Michelle, Hillary, Bill, Pelosi, Reid and a veto proof Democrat Congress? A laugh a minute, 24/7. TV pundits and gossip columnists would have four years of joy.
Let us further imagine the First Hundred Days of their administration. Now that’s a briar patch.
p>Yep, old rabbit be laughing. br> — Nelson Ward br> Cowles, New Mexico /p>Mr. Hillyer makes some very cogent points. Not only could, if he chose to, John McCain heavily stress the previous animosity between these two socialist icons, but McCain, or his staff, has challenged Obama to 12 question and answer sessions, rather than the standard useless “debates” organized by the drive by media. Obama has shown himself to be a master of the teleprompter; however, he is a train wreck when it comes to answering questions and thinking on his feet. This is normal for those who seek to be all things to all people. While McCain is not a dynamic speaker, he has the kind of experience at dealing with difficult questions that is born of a life of accomplishment and confrontation.
p>I read somewhere that Obama congratulated McCain and declared his respect for McCain’s accomplishments even though McCain did not recognize Obama’s. This statement is a real guffaw producer. Obama has distinguished himself as a “community organizer,” that is, someone who helps others wring money from the government and extort more of it from local businesses. He has also managed to give the world a clinic on how to espouse opposing positions on any number of issues, the most important being whether or not Iran is a threat to our way of life. McCain is a poor choice for POTUS, but Obama is a prohibitive one. It’s McCain hands down.
