I’m finding the Democratic Party, and Senator Obama’s campaign in particular, as becoming more and more disingenuous as time goes on. Today was certainly a low point in my mind. Their campaign has been constantly saying that they’re going to run a clean campaign and be different than the “typical” Washington-style variety. They’re all about change and this “new direction” that they’re going to take this country. What a joke! They’re as bad or worse.
Today, General Wesley Clark, one of Senator Obama’s military advisors, took cheap shots at Senator McCain’s military service. To say that because he was commanding an aviation squadron during a non-war period doesn’t count as executive responsibility is incredibly dishonest on his part. He was in the Army long enough to know the incredible responsibility and accountability given to commanding officers. It’s as demanding as any job you can ever find in the civilian world. If this came from someone who never served in the military, I might cut that person a little slack. However, coming from a retired Army general is, without a doubt, nothing but a cheap political shot. I’ll bet if you talked to any military man or woman without a political agenda, they would say that General Clark was a jerk. This man has lost any respect from me that he had earned from his military service.
If these are the people that Senator Obama is going to surround himself with, God help us if he’s elected to serve as our president.
