Mr.Hirsh, your piece hit the right points more than some others out there. For instance, you made sure to point out the administrations various shifts toward Senator Obama's positions on some key foreign policy issues, but you left out one: his assertion to attack high level al qaida targets in Pakistan upon actionable intelligence if that country fails to flush them out. You recall he was roundly criticized for that, except that months later, the Bush administration would do the exact same thing; still Senator Obama is naive and inexperienced? You know sometimes it's okay to call a spade a spade, for once. My question, though is, how come MSM is not calling Senator Mccain out on these issues, especially given his claim of expertise on foreign policy. I mean he should be the one getting "it" right everytime. You see, my worry is that the American public has long been fooled by the notion of Senator Mccain as a national hero, even though he's not the only one to have been a POW. And this seeming "hero love" for Senator Mccain emanated from the sympathy the American people felt for him at the time, which has carried over far too long that now no one dares question him on that front. That's just a shame!

McCain???s funny joke???
And I quote??????Did you here the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly and left to die? When she finally regains consciousness and tries to speak, her Doctor leans over to hear her sigh contently and to feebly ask, where is that marvelous ape????

McCain???s spokesman Brian Rogers???s response:
He???s long said that he???s done things in the past that he regrets???.you???ve just got to move on and be yourself- That???s what people want. They want someone who is authentic, and this kind of stuff is a good example of McCain being McCain.

I don???t know if I am more embarrassed that he is the republican candidate for our President or of the fact that NO ONE CARES!!!!

It is pathetic anyone is backing the Republican. He laid down and licks Bush's feet, the conservative "base," and flips and flops on oil drilling, which will do nothing at all, and for all his foreign policy "experience," hey didn't Cheney have "experience", it's the kind of experience that has made America hated everywhere. Enough!

Enough of Bush, McCain, Cheney messes, the economy has tanked, the war is a mess, Taliban just overran an AMERICAN post in Afghanistan, Pakistan gets away with murder, literally, and the only one who has talked sensibly about foreign policy is not the philandering wife betraying McCain, but Obama.

Go figure?

The way I see it, the Larry Craig GOP has allot of "coming-out" to do.

A new McCain campaign video shows a series of devastating clips from Obama's appearances on "Meet the Press" and other shows in 2006 and 2007, one of which quotes him as saying things were "actually worsening" in Iraq after surge.

Calling the video devastatating is an hysterical exaggeration. Most supporters, and some undecided voters know by now to look for the context anytime a Republican and some writers and reporters quote Senator Obama. Hopefully the video provokes an examination of the simplistic suggestion that the Surge, which was supposed to produce political progress, is the ONLY reason for the military progress.

Hopefully

McCain keeps calling this a "stunt", not to be confused with what he calls his wife....

I love how the religious right always refereces Kool Aid. The irony is priceless. Too bad Jim Jones wasn't more convincing...
