The Contrast Between Obama And McCain In The Response To Russian Attack On Georgia Is Both Striking And Telling

Topics: Political News and commentaries

... its like comparing a buffoon to a grand master, and clearly illustrates that the buffoon shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the White House. God forbid he did so and picked up one of those "3 AM calls."

As the Minority Report points out in Obama And McCain Contrast In The Response To Russian Attack On Georgia, the Obama approach stresses negotiation, while the McCain approach stresses action. The Obama approach appears passive, while the McCain approach is aggressive. And there is no clearer delineation between the two candidates than the last lines of their two statements:

Sen Obama (the buffoon and "great pretender":

"Let me be clear: we seek a future of cooperative engagement with the Russian government, and friendship with the Russian people. We want Russia to play its rightful role as a great nation - but with that role comes the responsibility to act as a force for progress in this new century, not regression to the conflicts of the past. That is why the United States and the international community must speak out strongly against this aggression, and for peace and security."

Sen McCain, the grandmaster:

"Our united purpose should be to persuade the Russian government to cease its attack, withdraw its troops, and enter into negotiations with Georgia. We must remind Russia's leaders that the benefits they enjoy from being part of the civilized world require their respect for the values, stability and peace of that world. World history is often made in remote, obscure countries. It is being made in Georgia today. It is the responsibility of the leading nations of the world to ensure that history continues to be a record of humanity's progress toward respecting the values and security of free people."

The Obama approach is about touchy/"feely" Hope and Change. The McCain approach is about concrete action to bring about that touchy/"feely" hope and change.

Call it a pre-election "3 AM call - test," and the buffoon failed it.
