For What It's Worth

An opinion from the editor's desk

Jack of All Trades?

When John McCain said the economy wasn't his strong suit, Barack H. Obama jumped all over him. Apparently, Obama has no weak suits; he is an expert at everything, at least that's what he wants us to believe.

Obama wrote a book titled The Audacity of Hope. Listening to his campaign arguments I think he should write a sequel called the Audacity of Stupid. Anybody wanting to be the president of the United States, who believes he/she is omniscient on every subject with which the president must deal, is a fool. Barack H. Obama fits the category. Did Obama ever hear of the president's cabinet or advisors or staff? These are people chosen for their expertise in their respective fields, people from whom the president receives advice and counsel. Yes, Obama, even on the economy.

Does Obama claim to be more astute than McCain on military matters? Yep, although the closest he ever got to the military was reading about it in a comic book probably written in Arabic. McCain, unlike Obama, actually served our country as a Navy pilot. But Obama needs no help with military matters; after all, he was raised by a single mother.

And the latest childish move by Obama "the wannabe" was to appoint a chief-of-staff, not for him but for his to-be-named-later vice-presidential candidate. Once again, Obama feels he is more qualified to choose the vice-president's staff than the vice-president is. Says a lot about his vice-presidential choice, doesn't it? How arrogant!!

Oh, did you hear who the new chief-of-staff is? She is Hillary Clinton's former (Hillary fired her) campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle. The Clinton staff is not happy. One anonymous staffer said Doyle's administrative skills stink, "...You only bring her on to f--- someone else."

In summary, Obama "the omniscient" believes he is the master of all trades, the jack of none. You wouldn't expect less from a messiah.

McCain wasn't the strongest of candidates, but he beats Obama by miles.
