Sound familiar? Before you jump to conclusion about the quotation this is what a gnat might say, finding itself nearing windshield impact. Yes, the brainpower of a gnat is sufficient to know, when things arent going well, Change is a good idea.
Why, then, has the Change mantra generated so much excitement over Obama? If good Judgment accompanied Change with the aim being better, not just different Judgment that, metaphorically, can keep us from going splat I could understand.
Sadly, many who are excited about Obama and Change remain so in the face of indications of his lack of good Judgment. This list grows daily far too long to address here. Choosing to sit under the teaching of Jeremiah Wright for nearly 20 years is very troubling. Ironically, the one thats most telling about lack of fitness for the Presidency is the cornerstone of Obamas candidacy he wouldnt have gone to war in Iraq again, metaphorically, he wouldnt have allowed us in front of that windshield in the first place.
Based on intelligence at the time, every other subsequent Presidential Candidate supported our Presidents decision but, somehow, as an Illinois State Senator, Obama knew that going to war in Iraq was a mistake. It turns out, the intelligence was wrong and mistakes resulted. How did Obama know better? Was it ESP? He hasnt said. He just says we need Change. Frighteningly, his Judgment hasnt led him to the Change thats most needed here
better intelligence. That means, if Obama becomes President, if he gets the same sort of menacing intelligence we had about Saddam Husseins Iraq (or Hitlers Germany or Tojos Japan), proactive military action would not be an option. If that happens, wave your little gnat wings goodbye
well be going splat on the windshield of the world.
