Obama is an issue hog

Filed in National by on June 20, 2008

Geez, doesn’t Obama know that 9/11 is a Republican issue? Didn’t he get the memo that said: Democrats must defer to Republicans on National Security and all things 9/11?

Obviously not, or he’d never have said…

“I refuse to be lectured on national security by people who are responsible for the most disastrous set of foreign policy decisions in the recent history of the United States. The other side likes to use 9/11 as a political bludgeon. Well, let’s talk about 9/11.

Oh my. Is nothing sacred anymore? Thank goodness McCain has the environmental issue to fall back on. Umm… maybe not since greedy Al Gore won’t let go of that one.

Could someone help me out here? What exactly are McCain’s issues?

    Oh my gosh the second part of that quote is brilliant as well.

    “The people who were responsible for murdering 3,000 Americans on 9/11 have not been brought to justice. They are Osama bin Laden, al Qaeda and their sponsors — the Taliban.

    They were in Afghanistan. And yet George Bush and John McCain decided in 2002 that we should take our eye off of Afghanistan so that we could invade and occupy a country that had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. The case for war in Iraq was so thin that George Bush and John McCain had to hype the threat of Saddam Hussein, and make false promises that we’d be greeted as liberators. They misled the American people, and took us into a misguided war.

    “Here are the results of their policy. Osama bin Laden and his top leadership — the people who murdered 3000 Americans — have a safe-haven in northwest Pakistan, where they operate with such freedom of action that they can still put out hate-filled audiotapes to the outside world. That’s the result of the Bush-McCain approach to the war on terrorism.”

    How many way can I be in love with this approach?

    It (at last) points out that Republicans have been utter failures at national security – and drives a stake into what is supposed to be McCain’s one strength.

    I think he is right about this, but we really need a class act foreign policy now and I am not sure how we are going to get from the Bush Administration to there? I hope Senator Obama addresses this issue.

    There is a bit of bitching about Obama’s supporting a horrid Blue Dog DEM today at Kos or from Atrios, I forget) . Probably the same impetus that had him support Lieberman right up until the primary loss and the only tepidly switch to Lamont.

    I see that Mascitti found it too:

    I don’t know how liberal you people are, but if you want some actual anti-Obama ammunition, check out Glenn Greenwald’s blog at Salon.com.
