Now Mr Obama is appearing to be just another well versed politician.
Just yesterday he came out against Wesley Clark's supportive observation that Mr McCain's military service (translation: P.O.W. internment) does not necessarily mean Mr McCain is qualified to head the Executive Office. As a Rhodes Scholar, retired general, former supreme commander of NATO and former presidential candidate, Mr Clark has a huge platform from which to speak about military service and presidential qualifications. Mr Obama?
(Obama disowns Clark's critique of McCain's military record)
Several weeks ago the Democratic nominee accepted the resignation of Jim Johnson, a respected and discreet Washington figure, because Mr McCain called him a hypocrite. What a flip-flop! So who's vetting Mr McCain's veep potentials? A discreet lawyer.
No one that hallmark can be either that a) sincere or b) realistic.
Before that, Mr Obama, under pressure from Mr McCain, castigated Jimmy Carter for meeting with Hamas. This from a man who declared during the debates that he, unlike the Monkey, would be willing to talk with any world leader, including our known antagonists in Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, North Korea. As an engineer, Naval officer, former governor and president, expert negotiator, and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Mr Carter has a super huge platform from which to speak about Israel and anything else he damn well pleases. Mr Obama?
I'm seeing scant of the maverick in him
Maybe Mr Obama is little more than a stellar politician and fundraiser. For someone who's all about "change" I'm seeing scant of the maverick in him. Different shade but same smell.
He says all the right things to appease all the right people: Jews, blue-collar voters, wine-rack whites, women, homosexuals, the youth, immigrants and, as a given, blacks. No one that hallmark can be either that a) sincere or b) realistic.
