 merrie says: First, Obama showed ignorance of what led to the crisis in Kosovo, where a U.S.-Russian confrontation is now playing out, and he seemed to advocate some kind of U.S. military response through NATO. If a President Obama carried through on such a threat, it would be a foreign policy mistake of monumental proportions. It could lead to a war with Russia in the current circumstances. Second, Obama didn't seem to understand that in the case of the disabled woman, Terri Schiavo, the issue was giving her the same kind of due process rights that are guaranteed to death row killers. We now know where Obama really stands, and it is not a pretty picture. Tim Russert had some good questions: One was when he asked Obama what he would do if Russia helped Serbia militarily take control of Kosovo, which is under United Nations and NATO occupation and recently declared its independence. Obama had a long answer: "Well, I think that we work with the international community that has also recognized Kosovo, and state that that's unacceptable. But, fortunately, we have a strong international structure anchored in NATO to deal with this issue. We don't have to work in isolation. And this is an area where I think that the Clinton administration deserves a lot of credit..... What does he mean by that? How does he propose that the U.S. and NATO stop an invasion of Kosovo by Serbia? The fact is that, despite its declaration of independence, Kosovo is still recognized by many nations as a province of Serbia..... His comments about the Clinton Administration and Kosovo are apparently... On the Schiavo case, Obama said the following: "Well, you know, when I first arrived in the Senate that first year, we had a situation surrounding Terri Schiavo. And I remember how we adjourned with a unanimous agreement that eventually allowed Congress to interject itself into that decision-making process of the families. It wasn't something I was comfortable with, but it was not something that I stood on the floor and stopped. And I think that was a mistake, and I think the American people understood that that was a mistake. And as a constitutional law professor, I knew better. And so that's an example I think of where inaction..." Russert explained, "This is the young woman with the feed... Obama demands that Americans "will be engaged and informed". I think he should work on informing himself first. I think he should work on informing himself first.His comments during the Russert debate were either missed or ignored by the MSM. Generally, the pundits have been extolling his speaking skills and and his cool confidence. That may work for the primary debates, and admittedly he's become an historic movement, but the veneer will begin to peel away, if and when he wins the Democratic nomination. Uh, poet Frank Marshall Davis was a Communist for just a short while, THREE DECADES before he met Barack Obama, who was just a teenager at the time. The two talked about poetry. Frank Marshall Davis died 21 years ago. This connection is stretched so thin that it has zero credibility for anyone who looks at it in detail. Of course, this is designed as a kitchen sink smear against Obama, taking for granted that people will not pay attention to details. Congratulations for taking part in the politics of superficiality. |
