Let's find out:

1. Obama is at the beach, lounging. Look at the big smile.



While an International crisis looms, Obama is drinking beer and playing around in Hawaii. Of course, he left his teleprompter back home, so he is making all sorts of stupid statements about the Russia-Georgia situation. No shortening his vacation and step up and talk about this serious issue. Nah. Bush has shortened his, McCain is focusing on this issue that could trigger a major war or the return of the Cold War with the New Soviet Union returning. But Barack... nah, he is chillin'. Who cares if people are being slaughtered and losing everything thanks to the Soviets attacking their country? Barack doesn't even care about the decent people in Kenya, so he supported and continues to support Odinga, the Islamist Presidential candidate!! Now, when was the last time Barack spoke and really fought to get the USA more involved in Darfur... like.... maybe years ago? Who cares, Obama sure doesn't seem to! On a side note, Cindy McCain was just in Darfur this week, visiting and inspecting the work of the charities she pays for out of her own pocket, to help people worldwide. Hey, do you recall how the wealthy Obama's have donated close to NOTHING to charity until 2007, when BHO decided to run for President??

Anyway.... back to this Internation disaster-waiting-to-happen....

While Obama vacations, McCain is on the trail, talking about this serious issue. Making statements to let the Russians know if McCain is elected, he will get tough real fast.


2. Obama's statements/positions about the crisis:

a) Started with appeasement. Says that invader/aggressor, Russia, is on the same moral level and should "exercise restratint" as the attacked country, Georgia. So Mr. Obama, explain to me.... how can a country who is under attack, tanks are invading, the Russians are pillaging and looting thier country... how should the Georgians "Exercise restraint"??

b) Then he suggested the matter be taken to the UN Security Council, where Russia has an absolute Veto Power, so nothing will happen. Obama must not know that! We have been trying to use the UN's Security Council against Iran for Sanctions and it doesn't work because China and Russia keep Vetoeing the bills in the UN! Can someone tell Obama that??

c) Finally, Obama listen to his more experienced Senator and outright imitate McCain's position! No surprise there.



Finally, a funny fact: Has anyone noticed how Obama's poll numbers have gone UP since Obama has been on vacation and off TV??

I think Obama's best chance to win is to stay off the cameras and not say anything. And when Obama does say something, he needs to have mini-teleprompters set-up or Obama will say something stupid or outrageously racist or anti-American. Otherwise, he is doomed. He better stay in his Hawaiian vacation until the day of the Convention.

This very serious international crisis is proof that Obama is NOT ready for Primetime. This guy is too inexperienced to be President.

Go McCain 2008! We need someone who is READY to lead. If not McCain, please bring Hillary back, but not this incompetent, lazy Obama!! He is NOT ready.

Dude....find a better picture than this if you wanna take shots at someone....According to this picture, Obama is right were he needs to be - with his family not worrying about some some guy named Shakaveel(sp) in Georgia

Yoo hoo, in case you've forgotten BO/JM are only candidates. I'm sure Putin must be shaking in his boots at the thought that a candidate has an opinion... he doesn't even care what Mevedev thinks. Let's try to remember that Bush is our Commander in Chief, and right now it's what he says that matters.

Help me out here-
you knock him for not being "ready to lead", so he goes on a world tour, meeting with foreign leaders, engaging in diplomacy as world leaders do - and you slam him for being "presumptuous". Now he's not being presidential enough.

Btw - the op's entire argument is moot. Obama has made many, many statements on the issue from hawaii. And your evidence that he's slacking is a picture of him smiling?
C'mon, you can do better....


Or can you? Getting pretty grim at good 'ol camp gop, huh?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
