| B. O. Disavows General Clark |
| 2008-07-01 |
| Democrat Barack Obama rejected a retired general's suggestion that Republican John McCain's military experience didn't necessarily qualify him to be president, as GOP surrogates lined up to label the remarks indecent and disrespectful. A day after retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark, now an Obama supporter, discussed McCain's experience as a Navy pilot and prisoner of war in Vietnam on a Sunday talk show, his remarks set off the pattern that has become familiar from innumerable earlier flaps over surrogate remarks during the presidential election year: The candidates, Obama and McCain, took the high road while the bare-knuckled language was left to their surrogates. I prolly missed all the nasty stuff McCain has released on The Big O, but the MSM makes them equal. At a news conference here Monday, McCain himself said of Clark's comment, 'That kind of thing is unnecessary' and distracts from real pocketbook issues voters care about. About the same time, Obama told an audience in Independence, Mo., that McCain had 'endured physical torment in service to our country' and 'no one should ever devalue that service, especially for the sake of a political campaign, and that goes for supporters on both sides.' |

| #7 The MSM can't cover up all the people Obama has thrown under the bus. The superdelegates better think long and hard about how much baggage this jerk has with him and how much more is gonna come out before November. |
