Really?

"Obama has shown that he is a man of limited experience, questionable
convictions, deeply troubling associations (Jeremiah Wright, William
Ayers, Tony Rezko) and an alarming lack of self-definition -- do you
really know who he is and what he believes? "


From Krauthammer's perspective all that is true but Krauthammer's
"convictions" are a little to the right of Benito Mussolini's so
naturally he's going to believe a moderate liberal has questionable
convictions. The rest of that paragraph is little more than wingnut
talking points, hell there's not a single member of the Illinois
Senate who doesn't have "troubling associations", that's Illinois
politics. And if anyone wants to know what Obama believes all they
have to do is read one or both of his books.

I admit, looks like your team is going to win this year, but I
wouldn't be happy about who you picked.


Well, we usually have to pick a politician and politicians are
always suspect by their very nature, but as politicians go I'm
quite happy with Obama-Biden. But if the Dalai Lama ever runs
for POTUS I'd be happy with that pick too. ;-)
