More Oblama flackery
Conason's piece strikes me as yet another example of Salon's almost desperate but painfully obvious attempts at defusing any negative information about Obama, while painting Hillary in as negative a light as possible.
The reality is that while this info about McPeak might not be tremendously significant by itself, when he is added to the list of others widely known for their anti-Israeli and pro-Islamic positions (Samantha Power, Zbigniew Brezhinski, and yes, the "Reverend" Wright)whom Obama has retained as foreign policy advisers, it certainly adds up to a very disturbing pattern.
Increasingly I am beginning to agree with the mounting chorus for Obama to step aside. It's abundantly clear that Hillary is far superior in experience, policy formulation and grasp,as well as not being saddled with the apparent pro-Islamic and anti-American anti-Israel baggage which Obama has accumulated. He could use the next 4-8 years to rehab his image (hopefully without the Rev. Wright's of the world), and come back as a more experienced and mature candidate.
This would clearly be best for him, the party, and I'm convinced, the country.
