Obama Needs a History Lesson

m42 · 05-09-2008, 06:17 PM

In his victory speech after the North Carolina primary, Sen. Barack Obama said something that is all the more remarkable for how little it has been remarked upon.

In defending his stated intent to meet with America's enemies without preconditions, Sen. Obama said: "I trust the American people to understand that it is not weakness, but wisdom to talk not just to our friends, but to our enemies, like Roosevelt did, and Kennedy did, and Truman did."

How could you put it better?

Personally? I couldn't. My writing is atrocious.

I do not see anything wrong with that statement.

It's an election year. No innocent statements exist.

Obama is smart. He's smart enough to know that the vast majority of those he can count on for votes in a primary have no clue of nor concern for factual history. He can say almost anything without being called on it and the only ones who would are so deep in for him that it's a non issue. They'd back him if he was on video raping puppies.

Problem is that the ignorance he's relying on isn't as widespread as he's banking on. It'll get you through a primary where all you have to fool is democrats (historically fairly easy), but the general election will be a whole new game for him.

That is what I'm hoping.......another goofy statement today in Missouri today by the way....the reason we have to get out of Iraq is because "we don't have enough Arabic translators for Afghanistan"

lol@ South on raping puppies, wouldn't say that too my wife as she would cry cause she loves her puppies. Obama is accurate on his statements, South pointed out quite a few good statements as well on what Obama is like, you can't help but to back him up as half of the media just wants to see what he says to get things sturred up for hilary to come on him at.

Wasn't that hilarious? Presidential material no doubt.

Know what? Dems will still flock to him. This wasn't a misstatement. It was part of the prepared speech. What a dipstick.
