Let's Avoid Talking About the Issues
Retired General Wesley Clark said that the fact that Senator McCain spent five and a half years as a prisoner of war says nothing about his qualifications to be President. The McCain campaign piled on. Senator Obama, on a day he was emphasizing his patriotism, rejected or disavowed or strongly objected (or whatever the current verb is) to his supporter’s comments.
Clark’s analysis is absolutely true, though it says nothing about the relative merits of the two candidates. Shouldn’t McCain’s camp quietly acknowledge that and then go on to stress that McCain has decades of experience in the Senate as opposed to Obama’s few years?
Shouldn’t Obama, note that Clark was right, as far as it goes; and, then go on to say that what he stands for, globally, is better for us than McCain’s attempt to be the third term of GWB?
They both think we’re stupid.
