Deep thinking from the Obama campaign
National Review's Seth Liebsohn noticed something interesting -- and quite revealing -- about Obama's recent criticism of his opponent and how it relates to the Russian attack on Georgia.
[T]he Obama campaign [is] saying McCain's statements about Georgia are "aggressive" and "belligerent" and "very aggressive" and "very belligerent."
I think it should be noted that nothing McCain has said is as aggressive as the actions of Russia. It strikes me odd right now to complain of aggressive words in the defense of democracy rather than condemning aggressive actions against a democracy.
It's only odd when you ignore the fact that Obama and his supporters instinctively think the worst of anything -- or anyone -- favoring U.S. interests, and find it nigh impossible to take a definitive stance against anything or anyone acting against the U.S. or our allies.

The tyrants of the world have to be licking their lips at the thought of an Obama victory. Forget this guy taking action in a time of crisis, he can't be counted on to even offer a "statement" in strong defense of American interests. Obama is an empty suit. Although a large percentage of the electorate can't see it, the Chinese, the Russians and others are astute enough to know that this would-be emperor has no clothes.
