"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

Obama Reads the Paper for Iraq News?

Feb 28, 2008

Republican presidential hopeful John McCain mocked Democrat Barack Obama on Wednesday for saying he would take action as president "if al-Qaida is forming a base in Iraq."

"When you examine that statement, it's pretty remarkable," McCain told a crowd in Tyler, Texas.

"I have some news. Al-Qaida is in Iraq. It's called `al-Qaida in Iraq,'" McCain said, drawing laughter at Obama's expense. Sen McCain, Tyler, Texas, Feb 28

AND the latest answer from Obama:

"McCain thought that he could make a clever point by saying ,'Well let me give you some news Barack, al Qaeda is in Iraq,' like I wasn't reading the papers, like I didn't know what was going on." Barack Obama, Feb 27, 2008

******

Why is a US Senator getting his information on the war from newspapers? Doesn't he have better intel than that available to him? I would hate to think that Obama would base his decisions as president on what he reads in the NY Times or the Chicago Tribune.
