McCain Aide: Obama Is Stubborn Like Bush
What?
HP-Is Barack Obama an extension of George W. Bush’s foreign policy? Aides to John McCain made the argument today in a conference call meant to tout the Senator’s own record.
Describing Obama’s plan as dangerously rigid and ideological, McCain national security adviser Randy Scheunemann compared the Illinois Democrat to the current Oval Office occupant.
“I think the American people have had enough of stubbornness and inflexibility in national security policy,” he said.
If the analogy was too obscure, Scheunemann followed it up with something a bit more overt. “In July 2004, [Obama] said there is not too much a difference between my position and George W Bush’s position on the war.”
The charge, of course, is not related to policy (on which Obama and Bush drastically differ) but rather ideological rigidity. But the suggestion that Obama is too stubborn to change his position on Iraq is a bit ironic coming from a McCain campaign that, as recently as one week ago, jumped all over the Senator for saying he would “refine” his position. Aides to the Arizona Republican – who, it should be noted, has stuck rigidly to his policy on troop withdrawal – said that an op-ed published by Obama in the New York Times on Monday proved that (regardless of what he sees upon visiting Iraq) the presumptive Democratic nominee is wedded to specific war strategies. And it is in that regard, they argue, that he is Bush-like.
McCain, Bush, Clinton, Obama – They don’t have their own plans. They don’t have anything on their own. They have “handlers” like the CFR and billionaires like Soros and Rupert Murdoch and multinational corporations and secret societies. And this “system” of government is more like a mask to simply hide criminal activity and globalist agendas. And they’re so thick in the middle of it some actually start to believe their own lies.
“I think the American people have had enough of stubbornness and inflexibility in national security policy”
There they go…
Thinking again.
Personally, I’d like to see a little more stubborness and inflexibility in our national security policy. Look where it has gotten us, we are admired around the world for our tenacity.
Heck, we need a real war, not some sissy counter-insurgency activities. We need to bomb Iran before we lose our chance.
