GWB is a total idiot. Even McCain is no match for Hillary brainwise...Obama can be competitive though.

McCain's GAFFE: CNN) – The Democratic National Committee seized on John McCain's apparent gaffe while discussing Iran Tuesday, saying it raises questions whether the Arizona senator "can be trusted to offer a clear way forward." The misstep in question occurred during a news conference in Jordan earlier Tuesday, when the presumptive Republican presidential nominee repeatedly said Iran was supplying al Qaeda. Iran is predominately a Shiite country and is not aiding the Sunni dominated Al-Qaeda. McCain ultimately corrected himself after Sen. Joe Lieberman whispered in his ear. "I'm sorry, the Iranians are training extremists, not al Qaeda. I am sorry," the Arizona senator said. DNC spokeswoman Karen Finney quickly pounced on the misstep. "After eight years of the Bush Administration's incompetence in Iraq, McCain's comments don't give the American people a reason to believe that he can be trusted to offer a clear way forward," she said. "Not only is Senator McCain wrong on Iraq once again, but he showed he either doesn't understand the challenges facing Iraq and the region or is willing to ignore the facts on the ground." McCain's campaign immediately responded, saying the "Democrats have launched political attacks today because they know the American people have deep concerns about their candidates’ judgment and readiness to lead as commander in chief.” The DNC later sent out a transcript of McCain's interview Monday with conservative Hugh Hewitt, during which he appeared to make the same mistake. "As you know, there are al Qaeda operatives that are taken back into Iran, given training as leaders, and they’re moving back into Iraq," he told Hewitt. P.S.: We were discussing this minutes ago. Great-grandpa McCain is no match for Hillary...or Obama. He's old and stiff. I rest my case.

Obama's speech today was the most intelligent of the decade. I believe it will go down in history as one of the great speeches of all time, and should be required reading for all kids in US schools. Obama, as a supremely honest and caring half-white half-black man, is heaven-sent to save this country from itself. So let's make sure nobody rejects him. Anyone who tries to smear Obama needs to be called out as a traitor to this country. Because right now he is the only hope this country has to truly change course toward the better. McCain and Cheney also made speeches today. Both lied or gaffed trying to confuse Al Qaida with Saddam Hussein and Shia warlords. So beware everyone when these Republicans make it sound like Al Qaida is taking over Iraq. In truth, they are only a small part of the overall problem, most of which we are creating and extending by being there.
