The battle has been fully engaged, such as it is. Hussein Obama is fighting a battle he cannot win, and the vast experience and political savvy of the Billary machine looks to eat him alive. Unaware of the coronation process and basic geopolitical facts on the ground, Obama insists on debating issues that favor her experience advantage. After getting hustled on the issue of tea with tyrants last week, Obama has taken up a fight over the supreme Presidential prerogative: nukes.
Obama stepped into the minefield this time by ruling out the use of nuclear weapons in Afghanistan or Pakistan to go after terrorists. This comes after his declaration of willingness to use U.S. forces in Pakistan whether Musharraf likes it or not. Billary did a flop from the top rope on that one, pointing out no President should ever take nukes (or any military option) off the table. Ladies and gentlemen, this is hilarious on two counts.
First, Billary is technically correct: no President should handcuff themselves by assuring the enemy of immunity from attack. The irony of Billary pointing it out is a classic. Instruction on military matters from the party of retreat and defeat is probably not of the highest quality. Even the presence of debate on this subject amongst Dems is fairly shocking considering their total cowardice the remainder of the time. And Billary, the one who thinks being First Lady is executive experience, standing at the lecturn in the classroom of nuclear education is just too much.
Second, it's clear nuclear weapons are not feasible in the current situation, and would cause more harm politically and in the media than they could produce positive battlefield results. The junior Senator from Illinois may have been attempting to reflect that evaluation, but his attempts are clumsy at best. Obama, who has no military experience of any kind, should have been well aware of the importance of the muclear deterrent element of American defense policy. Like so many other Democraps, Obama speaks about defense issues without a great deal of actual experience in policy or implementation of that policy.
He's making rookie mistakes. Engaging Billary on big and important issues like nukes is not a level playing field for him. He should instead make his campaign about personality and likability and how great it is that he's running for President. It's his only hope. He cannot continue to allow Billary to skate through the primary by not using his best weapon. The punches he's throwing are not making contact, and Billary is performing political judo and flipping him at every turn. He is still The Magic Obama, the press still loves him, and he's allowing Billary to play on her turf and with her rules.
If he doesn't act quickly, he'll be just another roadkill under the Clinton machine.
