Indy Article
Article by son of a minister of Margaret Thatcher, on Barack Obama.
Basically suggests - shock, horror - Obama is not too different to most other politicians.
Not military, but would be interesting to know what US Arrsers think of it.
Apologies for any typos - those nice people from Fullers have helped me pass the night in a very pleasant way.
I read the article and wasn't overly impressed with it. Actually, I thought the article spent to much time discussing McCain instead of Obama. I seemed to be biased against the other party. Of course, I do not like either Democratic candidate, especially Obama.
I don't think it's any secret to people who have been around for awhile and know how politicians really work and know how to check a Senators, voting record, etc. that Obama is just another politician.
An inexperienced one at that! To me, he sounds very naive in his thoughts with dealing with world leaders of other hostile countries and the war in Iraq.
I also feel that he has his own set of interests and/or people to keep happy. His statements about reducing the Armed forces and cutting defense spending sounds rather dumb to me, in this day and age when we are fighting two wars.
The latest primary results in both Texas and Ohio, seem to confirm the fact that not all the people fall for his 'chicken in every pot,' and false promises, etc. IMO, 'Billary,' will win the Democratic primary.
Bottom line on the article, yes it did point out he was just another politician. (Below par politician. IMO.)
