Confusion after Wesley Clarks comments on McCain
lot of confusion on the FoX Channel after the Wesley Clark comments on John McCains ability to become Commander in Chief.Clark put on the table a topic that started a debate on left and right about the war experience of John McCain. Read this article in Politico; Some on left target McCain's war record.
The Vietnam war is never far away in US politics. But there is change coming. This New York Times report (On Campus, Liberal Professors Retire ) shows that on campuses the old left wing baby boom generation is changing guard with a more pragmatic generation of university professors. Lets hope that the old political battles are over and new ones are genuinely addressed in this election of the most powerful job in the world.
Watch Laura Ingraham of Fox freaking out:

Who can be CiC from day one?
enator Lieberman puts the question on the table. Which presidential candidate can be Commander in Chief (CiC) from day one? Lieberman thinks it is important because the United States enemies will test the new president in his first year in office, look at his comments:General Wesley Clark is asked what qualifications to be CiC are needed, saying about John McCain that; "I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president. Obama is running on other strengths, of character, on his communication skills, on the strength of his judgment." Note: listen carefully to the first question he is asked:
And the reaction of John McCain,... "those comments doesn't reduce gasoline price with one penny...."
And here is what CNN anchorman Rick Sanchez is making of it....
The Obama campaign manager David Axelrod reacts to the question if Wesley Clark was authorized by the Obama campaign saying what he said about McCain?
And here is Wesley Clark not retracting his words, saying his words were taken out of context, repeating his overall point that serving the armed forces in itself is not a qualification to become president, but political judgment is...

McCain and Obama battle over Economy
ohn McCain and Barack Obama showed a fundamental different approach to helping the economy yesterday.Obama wants a 50 billion stimulus package, a 10 billion foreclosure fund and middle class tax cuts.
McCain on the other hand also wants to repeal the alternative minimum tax, cut tax on corporate profits, make Bush tax cuts permanent, suspend gaz tax for the summer and create a mortgage task force to investigate wrong doings.
McCain is "buying in" to the Bush policies and Obama wants a more direct role in shaping the living standards of people.
