Our Choices For President And The Choices They've Made

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Barack Obama has presented as his core argument that he possesses the superior judgment to be President. So, Dan Proft -Don Wade & Roma Morning Show - WLS 890-AM suggest that his argument demands a thorough examination of both his personal history and professional record and that we consider these two snapshots at a watershed moment in each one's life:

At the same respective points in their lives as grown men in their early 30s, Obama decided to sidle up to Chicago political machine bosses and their financiers and the chichi Hyde Park set of pseudo-intellectual socialists to advance his political career. That earned Obama an appointment to a State Senate seat in 1996.

At a similar age, John McCain made an important decision as well. He decided to forgo his early release from a North Vietnamese POW camp, an offer extended to him because of his father's position in the military. McCain would not walk unless the other POWs who had been captured before him were also released. That earned McCain an additional five years of torture in a Viet Cong prison camp and, for all he knew at the time, was a decision that would cost him his life.

Consider what you would have done if presented with the same offer with which McCain was presented, and more importantly, think about what Obama's choices to date tell us about what his choice would be. Especially given what we know about his choices as "we've watched him over the last couple of months provide ever-evolving answers and, ultimately, denunciation of his 20-year pastor (only because Rev. Wright wasn't properly concerned about Obama's campaign)?" Hell, he even through his grandmother under the bus to save his own ass.
