Barack Obama answered all John McCain's complaints about his overseas trip today with one simple sentence.
He said he was surprised by Mr. McCain's reaction because it was Mr. McCain who suggested he should go.
That's not to mention all the countdown clocks maintained by Fox News and similar "august" institutions, noting how many days it had been since Senator Obama last traveled to Iraq.
These guys are such hypocrites, they don't even acknowledge when you take their advice.
Meanwhile, Senator Obama was treated to a hero's welcome, and you know one reason why?
Because he was an adult who actually listened to their concerns and showed a modicum of intelligence. It's been eight long years under President Bush, and American citizens aren't the only ones chafing for a change.
Meanwhile, John McCain has sold out to the Republican establishment, and despite his infrequent attempts to renew his maverick status, he is totally trapped by them.
This man is not the same as the one from 2000 for many other reasons. He's become significantly older, forgets key facts and becomes nasty and ornery when things don't go his way. After eight long years with Bush, must we suffer through the childish snits of another Republican?
