The Flood Wars

Because "principle is the first casualty in the war president."

Really? I thought it was an ELECTION, not a WAR!

Sigh!


Yes,
principle certainly is a casualty, isn't it?

"Obama criticizes McCain on floods

MIAMI - With communities in the Midwest still under water, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama yesterday criticized Republican John McCain for opposing federal spending on flood prevention programs and opened a new debate in the White House race.

McCain's campaign said Obama was engaging in typical political attacks that the Democrat rejects in his speeches and is confusing the facts.

Both candidates have visited the flood zones in the past two weeks, since tornadoes hit and heavy rains sent rivers surging over their banks. At least 24 people were killed, the majority in Iowa. Obama, an Illinois senator, canceled a visit to eastern Iowa last week at the request of state officials and instead went to fill sandbags in Quincy, Ill. McCain, an Arizona senator, toured flood damage in Iowa on Thursday (AP June 22, 2008)."

At least Obama helped BAG SAND!!

"Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama toured Quincy and helped fill sandbags."

This qualifies Obama to be PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW!!!!
