Kaine Gives Obama Credit for Russian Ceasefire
Accuracy in Media ^ | 08/13/08 | Don Irvine

Posted on 08/13/2008 1:21:01 PM PDT by freespirited

 

Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine who is under consideration as a possible running mate for Barack Obama gave the Senator credit for the Russian ceasefire in Georgia.

From ABC News' Jake Tapper.

"The Senator's goal was to be tough and smart," Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine said of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, "and so when the action (in Georgia) happened on Thursday, he immediately called for a ceasefire, condemned the unwarranted use of force by Russia.  It was a bad crisis for the world.  It required tough words, but also a smart approach to call on the international community to step in -- and I'm very, very happy that the senator's request for a ceasefire has been complied with by President Medvedev.”

Yeah, right.

Ludicrous ... just because someone suggests an opinion does not mean there is an ounce of truth in it.

Besides the fascinating eyebrow, he has a very interesting patch and spot hairstyle. The bald spots can be filled in with the Ron Popeil-GLH-9/Hair in the can spray./Just Asking - seoul62........

Many people in Virginia don’t know that Kaine was a former ACLU lawyer....should fit Obama just fine.

I liked the bumper sticker that said KAINE IS NOT ABLE

This guy needs to fire his speech writer...or hire one. This is about the worst copy I’ve ever read. Where do these guys come from??

“Kaine, you utter crawler.”

I would have added the word “slimeball,” as in “Kaine, you utter slimeball crawler.”

But that’s just my preference. Your description is as legitimate as mine.

Maybe I could fit in “worm” somewhere, hmmm.

Yea, it was that speech where he said he would ask for a resolution from the UN Security Council, which Russia is a permanent member and has veto power over. Yea, that really scared them.
