I’ve already said something about it to that effect. I said that if it were a one-time thing, I would have disregarded it. Also, I’ve always said that McCain and Obama were clueless. I just regard Obama as more clueless.
I’m certainly willing to excoriate and criticize McCain on his shortcomings. However, he has a better grasp on the islamofacism angle than Obama. Unfortunately, that is a terribly important issue to me.
However, most of the threads here started out as “wow, Obama is really worthy of being president” and “Obama is really knowledgeable.” I’ve pointed out arguments that poke holes in that theory. If the subject was “Vote for McCain, he knows what he’s doing” I would be posting up the policy objections I have with McCain.
And honestly, I’m no supporter of McCain either (which is what most everyone assumes I am). Does he have my vote? Probably, because I see Obama and his policies as a threat to the U.S. Still, voting in a state like California for McCain, I have no illusions that my vote will matter… Usually I vote Libertarian (now that’s a wasted vote!).
Still, I would think that any criticism of Obama for his lack of knowledge of history is warranted. I think he’s displayed it often enough. I’ve said this before as well – there is no doubt he’s intelligent, bright, and articulate. However, he comes across to me as a person who’s been in school way too long and hasn’t had the hard experience to give him the judgment he needs to be president. He’s just too green. Until that changes, I don’t believe he will be an effective president.
