between Georgia and Russia. Yesterday he stands behind a podium surrounded by flags and acts like he is speaking as the president on this war. Today the Georgia president practically endorses McCain in his comments (hmm, isn't it interesting that McCain's top foreign policy guy is connected with the Georgian government). But There was Obama in Germany a couple of weeks ago, surrounded by 200,000 wildly cheering people holding American flags in many instances, and the media and the McCain campaign hit him as being presumptuous and acting like he was the president! Unbelievable.

1. He's a strutting bantam rooster
and I think a lot of people are picking up on it.

3. We won't get a fair shake from the media, at any point in the campaign.
We better be prepared for that.

4. FAR more presumptuous to support a war than to support diplomacy
Obama went overseas only to appeal for diplomacy
(as members of Congress are allowed to do). Bomb
Bomb actually took a position regarding an inter-
national ARMED CONFLICT ... Now you tell me,
who's the more presumptuous -- the one who only
did what Congressional delegations traditionally
do, or the one who OVERSTEPPED and began actually
behaving like he's the president?
