John McCain is talking himself into a hole. He is too focused on the surge and not focused enough on other issues. He is very focused on Obama and not very focused on the issues. I believe that Senator McCain is digging a surge hole. When they begin debates Obama will count the amount of American deaths that took place as a result of the surge, then he will look at the results and finally will go back to his initial premise which is that the US government, the US military were never to be in that war, the reasons for going there were lies, and the economic impact of the war has been staggering to the US economy. Did the surge take place for free? Was the surge absolutely responsible for the drop in violence? What happens if the violence picks up in September?
Why do people believe John McCain will be a good commander and chief? Is it because he was captured and held as a prisoner of war? Is that the kind of commander and chief we want? Is it premature to say we have won the war? Is it premature to say that the surge worked? I believe Senator McCain is digging a very fatal whole. John McCain is adopting the strategy that did not work for Senator Clinton. He is bickering, attacking, and yelling poor me over and over again. He could not congratulate Senator Obama on a successful trip instead he said “He is taking a premature victory lap.” I believe that by the end of democratic convention Senator Obama will have a double digit lead over Senator McCain and the WORLD will be happy. Because one thing that was evident by his trip was that the a great portion of the World loves and wants Barack Obama as President of the United States of America.
