Obama is not ready to lead.
That is the message the McCain campaign has been trying to pound for a month. That’s what they are doing now. We have the worst economic crisis in a quarter century. McCain is trying to show that he puts country first, and Obama puts Obama first.
A risky strategy I agree, but so is a squeeze play in baseball, but when executed correctly there is no defense against it.
Truer words were never spoken. And an excellent insight as well.
Obambi cannot win this one. And you know why? Not because he was out-maneuvered (though he was), but because he was out-classed in leadership, experience, courage and conviction.
Had Obambi tried this on McCain, he would have looked pathetic. The 120-day Senate Wonder pontificating about how he was going back to Washington to add his oratorial flourishes to the fray. What a laughable hoax that would have been!
What I'm saying here is that John McCain can do this only because he's John McCain.
That says a lot.
