The War in Georgia: Obama Body Surfs While John McCain Leads
by John Little on 12/08/2008Obama can nail a photo-op or well prepared speech but he withers in the face of a true crisis:
The invasion of Georgia elicited a wan written communique instead of the sort of exciting rhetoric we’ve come to expect from his make-believe presidency. But he did make it in front of the cameras the next day for a rally celebrating his vacation in Hawaii. He promised “to go body surfing at some undisclosed location.”
During Obama’s make-believe presidency, we’ve heard about bold action, about the courage to talk to dictators. When faced with a real “3 a.m. moment,” Obama — who boasts about 200 foreign policy advisors, broken into 10 subgroups — proclaims, “I’m going to get some shave ice.”
Now, of course, this is a bit unfair in that Obama had planned his no doubt well-deserved vacation for a very long time. But presidential vacations are always well planned — and often interrupted.
Snow Cones and body surfing – sounds like an awesome vacation. Meanwhile, John McCain steps up and leads:
Republican White House hopeful John McCain Tuesday stepped up a fusillade against Russian “aggression” and declared that today, “we are all Georgians.”
Addressing voters in Pennsylvania, McCain said he had spoken by telephone earlier with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, who he said wanted to thank the American people for their support.
“I told him that I know I speak for every American when I say to him, today, we are all Georgians,” said the Republican, a hardliner against Russia who wants the mighty nation expelled from the Group of Eight club.
I’ve said it before but McCain is the only serious candidate in the race.
