Obama tidbits

Interesting post by Kevin McCullough, who says that there are two types of households: (1) people who fly the flag on the 4th of July, and (2) people who put Obama signs outside of their houses. There is hardly any overlap!

Obama showed his ignorance about national security matters again today, saying that he would direct the Joint Chiefs of Staff to withdraw US troops from Iraq. Surely he should know that the Goldwater-Nichols act made the Joint Chiefs an advisory body, and that troops are directed through "combatant commands" up to the Secretary of Defense. It would be truly shocking to have such a neophyte as commander in chief. Dean Barnett has more details at the Weekly Standard's blog.

Noticed a good post on National Review online, saying that McCain really has to work hard to get Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, and probably needs Ohio to win. Michael Novak suggests John Kasich as VP, and Kasich would be a good choice.
