[Barack Obama's website](http://www.barackobama.com/index.php) (after dodging the rudely placed campaign contribution request) has announced that his running mate for the 2008 U.S. presidential election is long-time [U.S. Senator Joe Biden](http://en….

I recommend pushing the classical education movement back into ouur public schools.

I didn’t have classical education. Wish I had.

So, yes, the Democrats really are that stupid and irresponsible.

As are the people who vote for them.

Why are their voters stupid. Schools and parents. Leftist agenda needs to be removed from all levels of education or this fight will only get worse.

You know it’s going to be said by the conspiracy nuts.

The first statement was his conflict statement template, to be released on anything down to a fight at his kids’ playground.

The second statement is after someone found the right chapter for him in the Cliff Notes to the ‘Foreign Policies for Dummies’ book.

Ha! Very, very well said.

Whether ruled by Tsars, Communists, or “democrats,” Russia has been and is an aggressive, imperialist power all-too willing to bully those around it. Take the Republic of Georgia, for example. A former territory of the Russian Empire and the late,…

In answer to another clown who posted there with the lobbyist red herring about McCain, I rebutted the nonsense as “olainfree”. It is unbelievable how limited is the vision of Leftists and Obama supporters. They should not be at the table with the adults.

More examples of Russian aggression: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/georgia/2534767/Georgia-Russia-targets-key-oil-pipeline-with-over-50-missiles.html
A warning about what the will do to thwart Georgia?

Gardels: John McCain has already suggested that Russia be expelled from the G8. Is that something you would contemplate?

Brzezinski: The G8 is an impotent fiction anyway. But It has to be much more than that. It has to be a concerted effort on all levels — at the United Nations, in the Atlantic Council, in the EU or in NATO, in consultation with the Japanese, the Chinese and others — to convey to Russia that, whatever grievances it may have, it cannot resolve them by a deliberate policy of dismembering an adjoining state and trying to obtain political domination over it.

Wow.

I think there will be a few arguments among the Obama foreign policy crew tonight…

I’d rather vote for the man who gets it right …… than the man who makes it up as he goes along. McCain is right; this was a 3 AM moment, and Obama proved himself unprepared and unsuited to answer the call.

.
How many SECOND CHANCES does a brand new president get?
.
What obama might say in his first two or three years, IF he is in office, could have devastating consequences before he could fix his error in judgment.
.
Obviously Bush is on his way out and is in lame duck status, he took the lame road on this one.
But I think the world KNOWS by now what Bush would do if need be.
McCain proved far superior to obambi on this one.

“Christine,” …and not only Rodney King, but my stomach-turning image was of Barney – big ears and all – singing,

“I love you, you love me, you’ll bomb us to eternity…”

This is a party than nominated Al Gore and John Kerry for President.

This is a party that has Nancy Pelosi as House Speaker and Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader.

So, yes, the Democrats really are that stupid and irresponsible.

As are the people who vote for them.

Before ever making a public statement, I think Barry should have asked himself, “What Would Clooney Do?”

He probably did… his first statement sounds just like what a preeningly ineffectual moral-relativist Hollywood President would say, doesn’t it?

With all of his “Syriana” experience, Clooney is probably in the running for Secretary of State in an Obama administration.

Getting a photo op with world leaders now qualifies you to be a world leader, according to the Dims.

AZCoyote on August 10, 2008 at 1:38 PM

I’m afraid so. You think Obama might consider Bono for Secretary of State? He has an impressive portfolio of photo ops with world leaders.

Dan Stark- I’m not saying that. I’m saying that’s how McCain’s statements were played for a few news cycles. See Jindal’s excellent response to it, above.

My mistake. Carry on.

i still don’t understand the timing on this. South Ossetian provoked Gorgia, with Russia’s support, Georgia responded militarily, and so Russia invaded. Russia surely must have known McCain would come off looking more presidential as a result. Assuming they would rather have a soft pumpkin like Obama as our CiC, why did they start the ball rolling right before our elections, knowing Barry would look like a dunce?

Because Putin is not the foreign-policy genius he’s been made out to be. From Chechnya to Ukraine and elsewhere, he regularly overplays his hand.

But Obama gave a speech once, and he chairs a subcommittee on the Foreign Relations Committee — although he hasn’t bothered to hold a meeting on NATO and Afghanistan, despite it being in his words the “central front” in the war on terror.

Ed Morrissey on August 10, 2008 at 12:59 PM

And don’t forget, Obama recently went on a tour of Europe and had his picture taken next to Sarkozy and Merkel — thus establishing his “foreign policy credentials.”

Getting a photo op with world leaders now qualifies you to be a world leader, according to the Dims. As Rielle Hunter (and Oprah) could no doubt tell us, making your own “presidential” seal and labelling your chair for the “president” is all part of how you get there: Just believe it to be true, and it will be!
