On Electing First Graders To Run The Country

Seems innocuous, but...

But Mr. Rockefeller voted for the
war. It was Florida Democratic Sen. Bob Graham, now retired, who
chaired the committee in 2002, urged colleagues to read the briefing
paper and voted against the war.

Obama spokeswoman Jennifer
Psaki insisted that "there was nothing intentionally misleading" about
Mr. Obama's statement. The core issue, she said, was whether Mrs.
Clinton made a correct and informed decision. "I don't think the people
in the audience care who Jay Rockefeller is," she said.

The Dallas Morning News team used the word "Clintonian", but not to describe Hillary.  That said, Graham was famously hawkish, and objected to the war resolution as not going far enough against America's real enemies.

If Obama is a Graham sympathizer then now we can understand his threat to attack Pakistan. Yikes.
