“But the attempt by both sides to score political points off of statements by one surrogate or another who “inartfully” make a point serves no purpose other than to churn up a lot of sound and fury that signifies nothing.”
Rick, don’t go concluding an article about an Obama supporter “dust-up”, and even including an Obama nutroot supporter’s diatribe, with a statement about “BOTH SIDES” who “inartfully make a point”…unless you can give an example of McCain supporters who have done the same and then MCCAIN dissing the WAY the message was given, but not the message! It really is NOT the same on BOTH sides!
Obama will parse his words and attempt to explain away a “misunderstanding” about his supporter’s stance….while McCain will simply say “STOP IT!”, as he did with the Tennessee GOP ad.
The differences in the two responses could not be more stark! McCain takes RESPONSIBILITY while Obama equivocates, explains away, “distances” himself, and
then “disowns” them and throws them under the bus!
Simply put, McCain is PRESIDENTIAL in his response and actions…Obama is a south-side Chicago political professional hack in his responses!
The country needs the former in it’s leader, not the latter…
