Yeah, Right, Whatever

Powerline mentions one of Obama's old primary campaign commercials this morning. They're right- the commercial is a good reminder, in light of events in Georgia, why Obama is scarier than your average Democrat candidate.




From the Powerline post:

With events in Georgia over the past week, it is time to revisit Barack Obama's stated views on America's defense needs. In the video above, Obama pronounces a McGovernite disarmament credo:

I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems... ...I will not weaponize space...
...I will slow development of future combat systems...
...and I will institute an independent "Defense Priorities Board" to ensure the quadrennial defense review is not used to justify unnecessary spending...
...I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons...
...and to seek that goal, I will not develop nuclear weapons...
...I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material...
...and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert...
...and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals...

Isn't it time for someone who covers politics for a living to ask Obama about this credo? JOHN adds: When Obama refers to "unproven missile defense systems," does he mean the ones we're installing in Poland?

UPDATE: Here is Michael Ramirez's take on how Obama would handle the Georgian problem:


Well, that about sums that up, doesn't it?
