The Huffington Post is butt hurt because McCain wouldn’t say Obama is on the side of the reformers in Iran.
Either Sen. John McCain didn’t hear Joe Klein tell him to “be quiet” or he doesn’t care, because the former presidential candidate went right back at his ex-rival Tuesday afternoon for President Obama’s decision not to insert himself into the Iranian crisis.
McCain wouldn’t say which side of the struggle he thought Obama was on.
That’s because we don’t KNOW. Even Obama doesn’t know which side he’s on.
John McCain DOES know which side he’s on and he’s not afraid to let you know.
“I know what side I’m on,” McCain cut in. “I’m on the side of the people. I’m not on Ahmadinejad’s side or Mousavi. I’m on the side of the Iranian people and I’m on the right side of history. And I’m not going to walk on the other side of the street while people are being killed and beaten in the streets of Iran.”
McCain said Obama’s reaction wasn’t equal to the situation. “We can’t sit by and watch a film clip on television of a young woman bleeding to death and say that we’re worried about the Iranian reaction or our ability to negotiate with them. We have to stand up for those people,” he said.
Now THAT is a good answer.
Obama’s response wasn’t equal to the situation and the world knows it even if Obama doesn’t. I was a reluctant McCain voter last November, but seeing things like this and how truly horrible Obama has turned out to be, I’m more certain than ever that the wrong man is President today.
Mr. Joe Klein (sure it’s not Joe Stalin?)
It is a U S Senator’s job to speak out, and not be quiet, on those things that he thinks are right.
And even if he wasn’t a US Senator, he still has the right (not privilidge, not suggestion) to speak out, under the First Amendment. Or is that reserved for only the select elitist few, saying the right PC things?
Another 0300 phone call that didn’t get answered… sigh…
