The Battle of the Proxies.... (LINK)
Today, the NBC News show Meet the Press featured Senators Biden & Graham. They are both worthy proxies for their respective candidates. The netcast is available at (http://www.msnbc.com). I was particularly interested in one statement that Senator Graham made in regards to some of the interaction on Campaign Finance and the decision Senator Obama made. "I want my country to be trusted..." was the exact statement he made. If he thinks the United States is trusted right now, he's dreaming. I think Senator Graham is to be commended for his service to our country. But I respectfully disagree with his assessment on Iraq and the trust factor. Iraq is broken. Bringing it back from the abyss cannot happen without a President who is bold enough to admit the error and in turn work to change it.
Senator Graham also made another assertion that I trust the Obama campaign will work to immediately address. Senator Graham noted that the changes in position (from NAFTA to Campaign Finance) is for one reason and one reason only: for Senator Obama to "...win the election not change this country." It is a damning assessment that Senator Obama's campaign must overcome to avoid falling into the trap that Senator Kerry's Campaign which led to four more years of George W. Bush.
