Obama over the top

By Beldar

Events may prove me wrong. But I believe that in hindsight ? even, say, a year from now ? the high point of the failed Barack Obama presidential candidacy will be recognized as having occurred a few seconds before he spoke these lines in his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention tonight:

You know, John McCain likes to say that he'll follow bin Laden to the gates of Hell. But he won't even follow him to the cave where he lives.

What a nasty, vile statement. What a palpable, obvious lie. What a great insight into the shallow, immature thinking and overweening, craven opportunism of this man who's never done anything, never risked anything, never shown an ounce of even political bravery (much less physical bravery) ? but yet would be the Commander in Chief of the United States of America.

And the crowd roared its approval. That must be the lowest moment of the Democratic Party in its history. Shame on them. How very fortunate for them all that brave Americans like John McCain in the uniforms of our country's military forces have fought and died for their rights to make such utter fools of themselves.
