Barack Obama and his team agree: At 46 years old, with no military service or foreign policy experience, having only spent three years as a United States senator, he is master of the universe.
Susan Rice, Obama’s senior foreign policy advisor, informed the German news magazine Der Spiegel in an interview published today that her candidate “bows to nobody in understanding this world.”
Rice prefaced this conceit by relating his world travels: “Senator Obama has travelled to Europe, Africa, the Middle East and South Asia many times before. He lived in Asia.”
This evening ABC News Nightline will broadcast an interview with Obama conducted after he met with Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki and Gen. Petraeus today in Iraq.
Obama’s arrogance shone through as he dismissed Petraeus’ concerns about Obama’s plans for Iraq:
“My job is to think about the national security interests as a whole and to weigh and balance risks in Afghanistan and Iraq. Their job is just to get the job done here, and I completely understand that.”
Obama, in his arrogance, failed to recognize that Petraeus, having recently been promoted to head up Centcom, which oversees both Iraq and Afghanistan, would also be looking at Iraq from the same perspective.
I forced myself to view Nightline on ABC (blecchh) tonight with Terry Moran questioning Obambi in Iraq. I tried hard not to count the uhs and ahs and ums peppered throughout Obama’s responses, which also contained so many pauses as to make one nearly drift off to sleep.
Aside from that, what the Obamessiah did say to Moran was nothing short of astounding in its total arrogance. I could not believe what I was hearing from his (grinning like an idiot) mouth and even Moran seemed genuinely surprised at times.
I also noticed a distinct “deer in the headlights” look on Obama’s face while Moran was questioning him. I could only imagine what Hillary Clinton must’ve been thinking if she saw the interview. (Honestly, if I had to choose between Hillary and Obama, Hillary would win my vote in a heartbeat.)
This Obama charlatan, enjoying the heck out of his current “world tour,” is no one we should want in the White House —and it’s absolutely frightening to think this may well come to pass. Whatever you folks think of McCain, please think carefully before deciding to pass on voting this year.
McCain in 2008!!!
