The Weekly Standard: Obama Campaign Focuses On Candidate's "Super-Human" Judgment

[samthetvcat]

Dean Barnett said, "I, too, went to law school"

Spoken like a middle-of-the-pack B-student who never could figure out what it was the A-students knew that he didn''t.

B-students read opinions looking for the rule, A-students read opinions looking for analysis, reason, pieces of evidence used to support or not used to support, changes in political climate, who''s affected, potential consequences to everybody affected (the parties AND society), potential problems in applying the holding and analysis to future disagreements, ability of the holding to withstand the test of time without further caveats, etc.

The difference between Barack and Hillary when it comes to accuracy of judgment is ability to take personal ambition out of the equation in the name of what''s universally beneficial. The neocons who have never shown ANY ability to accurately assess situations of universal concern seem to miss this point when it comes to the ''question marks raised'' by Rezko and Wright - Barack''s choices didn''t impact anybody else, unlike Hillary/Bush/McSame''s choice to go to war.

The difference between Barack and McCain seems to be the ability to hold more than one concept in his mind at a time in order to be able to do complex analysis.

ubrew12, hey! right on!

where was the weekly standard when we got stuck with

the conservative republicon nightmare that is now ruining our country

Does anyone care that the Clinton V. Paul trial will start soon? Anyone care that a presidential candidate has been ordered to testify, after the election? Anyone care that the trial concerns Hillary''s senatorial run? Obama''s pastor is a nut for sure, but when enough evidence piles up to merit a trial....are we allowed to question Hillary Clintons character?

Predident-Elect Hillary Clinton to testify today....

President of the Untied States of America, Hillary Clinton today made history by handing out her first Presidential Pardon to Bill Clinton, her husband. No resports yet on how much she charged him for that.

Obama gets taken to task for what might be....and I''m ok with that level of scrutiny! Hillary''s court date has not even been mentioned in the media!! When do we get to ask her about that? Its public record, everyone can look information about the case. What is going on here? Have we lost the plot or what?

All I hear these day%u2019s are he%u2019s black and I would never vote for Obama (and it''s not because I''m a racist). That statement just proves you are racist!!! I am White and I know the difference with the racist comments. I understand the hardships of African %u201CAMERICANS%u201D
It doesn%u2019t matter if your black, blue, green, purple or white or if you are Muslim, Christian, Mormon, Atheists, Jewish, Baptist, or Catholic, you are still an %u201CAMERICAN%u201D we all bleed the same, die the same, have some similar common ground with our own trials. Everyone has owns their own thoughts and bad judgments. I have seen Mrs. Clinton tirade around picking out women even a *** filly trying to make this campaign about gender and that is where the race card comes in. yes a lot of us seniors are still a little weary about color but it shouldn%u2019t matter, Obama is still fighting for us and what he believes in so is Mrs. Clinton This RACE should be about FACTS. NOT RACE GENDER or ASSOCIATION we all know they both have some associations that we would like to forget about!!!
Mrs. Clinton has brought a lot of good to us American Women. Mr. Obama knows first hand about the so called suspension about the gas tax, he tried it and it didn%u2019t work so he is right!! We need to fix our problems not gutter ball them.

Weakly Standard: "My problem is that Obama supporters seem to have forgotten that "judgment" was just a codeword"

You mean like ''Compassionate Conservative''?

I''ll leave the codewords to you neocons, you''ve displayed such memorable ''judgement'' regarding the Shrub.

It is worth noting that the primary in NC and IN and ultimately the election hinge on a bet by two of the candidates that low information voters will believe their preposterous assertions that a "gas tax holiday" will help them pay their fuel bills this summer.
Anyone with a high school level education in economics will tell you a gas tax holiday will actually have the effect of raising gasoline prices. The consumer will simply never see a dime and the oil companies will make even higher profits. Not to mention the fact that it might put as many as 300.000 people out of work when the country is reeling from job losses or drive our debt even higher.

It is simply impossible to even suggest that such a measure could be introduced much less pass through congress before the end of the summer given nobody but McCain and Clinton support it in congress.

We are witnessing an epic and historic clash of old and new politics, one rooted in pander and deception of the past and one with the promise of truth and transparency.

My vote is for Senator Obama
