Here’s The Deal…Shh and Shut Up!
In a recent interview with Barack Obama, Matt Laurer stated that some of the Democratic leaders, some of Obama’s campaign advisors, and some of Obama’s average supporters had advised the candidate to stay away from media interviews, stop walking the rope lines and for all intensive purposes keep a low profile for the next few weeks. While the large media polls indicate Obama has an increasing national lead; the hope of avoiding another “Joe the plumber” incident is imperative before the election. In other words, Obama has been advised to shut up! Now, since he gave the interview to Matt Laurer (and trust me, the questions were not difficult) it is obvious he has rejected those calls, but it is unsettling that a presidential candidate would even be presented an option of silence. If a McCain supporter had advised John to lay low, not say much, or don’t go here and walk the ropes…I am sure McCain would have made a suggestion as to where that supporter could go.
Here’s The Deal….Obama is weak. Some misconstrue his “steady” talk and “cool” demeanor as calm and collected, confident and secure. I see his lack of enthusiasm as passive and generally lackadaisical. I fear that Obama will be “pushed around” by other world leaders and seen as generally agreeable to all sides but uncommitted to a principled stand. Even his running mate, Joe Biden, is apparently worried of this same thing. This week Joe said, “And here’s the point I want to make. Mark my words. Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama…we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy…And he’s gonna need help…it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right…”
We need to stop making excuses for Obama, he is not ready to become President. Not because he is dumb, not because he is black, not because he is a man, not because he served on a board with a known terrorist but because: his economic policy reeks of socialism, he would nationalize heath care, he is unwilling to be truthful about his friendships with convicted criminals, his foreign policy “experience” is a week long trip through Iraq, he has never run any type of government (I.E. mayor, governor) or a small business, he has not even proved to his own running mate that he will stand firm as President; apparently we will have to prop him up and if he does make a critical decision it will be some time before we anyone has any idea that Obama had no idea from the beginning…
