We are well into this primary season with many on both sides of the Democratic party arguing to end the primary now to face off against the presumptive Republican nominee, Senator John McCain.
Everyone knows, or should know and have now learned their lesson, that anything you say, do or appear to say or do will have an affect. Then we also remember that not only will it have an affect but your opponent will be sure to grab onto the instance and run with it. For example, Obama didn’t say pledge, Obama said people were bitter, and now Clinton has said “Rich people - God bless us.”
So if you haven’t learned the lesson yet here it is: Be careful what you say or do.
The President of Iran definitely caught something that bothered me a while back.
Iran has lodged a formal protest at the United Nations about comments by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton that the United States would “totally obliterate” Iran if it attacked Israel with nuclear weapons, the state-run news agency, IRNA, reported Thursday.
Iran’s deputy ambassador to the United Nations, Mehdi Danesh-Yazdi, sent a letter of protest on Wednesday to the United Nations secretary general and the Security Council, IRNA said.
Mrs. Clinton made the comments in an interview on ABC last week. “I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president, we will attack Iran,” she said when she was asked what she would do if Iran attacked Israel with nuclear weapons. “In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them,” she added.
Okay, when Clinton said this I realized right away that she was changing her tune and taking a stance in hope of pulling in some moderate voters. I didn’t realize however that she would go so far as to foolishly threaten a country with an arguable grudge against us.
At least people aren’t bitter though, they just get us into another war.
