Now under discussion at PRIORITY ACCESS:

Dr. Hurd writes: Bill and Hillary Clinton were high-level political hacks who managed to gain power through relentless years and decades of building their own electoral machine. Although they were essentially Big Government liberals, they put their own personal power first and sometimes this ended up benefiting the nation--for example, when President Bill Clinton lowered capital gains taxes and made a few other compromises with the Republican Congress on matters of economics. Obama is different. He has risen really effortlessly--for no other reason than his "rock star" and celebrity status. He has no experience. He has had no opportunity to prove what kind of leader he is. He subscribes to no particular ideology. There is no theme in any of his speeches except for the anti-conceptual mantra of "change." His brief voting record in Congress and his promises during the primaries reveal him to be slightly to the left of Ted Kennedy (a man too liberal to even run for President, even if he were still young and healthy). To be sure, Obama is, from what little we do know, an ultra-liberal whose desire to raise taxes and expand the role of government in our lives probably knows no limits. Yet this probably has more to do with his grandiose sense of acquiring power than it has to do with any ideology (even a wrong ideology). And, since the primaries he claims to be all things to all people. All politicians of recent years are guilty of this to some extent, but never has it been more startling than what we see with Obama. He tells Fox News interviewers, for example, that Iran is a mortal threat. In complete contradiction, he continues to tell his liberal base that Iran is not a danger and he would never attack them, only negotiate with them. He says it's wrong, on principle, for the U.S. to be militarily involved in Iraq, and that even today he would never have voted for the troop surge in Iraq. In total contradiction, and in almost the same sentence, he claims that we need a military "surge" in Afghanistan. He says that he will impose national health care on the country, and yet his surrogates tell the media he's in favor of the private market! Will the real Obama stand up? Wake up, America. There isn't one.

2008: Year of the Establishment

U.S. Senators are the worst candidates for President. They are the least accountable of all elected officials. They don't answer to the voters as often as Congressmen, Governors and even sitting Presidents. They get to spend six years in office meddling in the lives of private citizens and growing the government not only way beyond what our founders intended, but way beyond the previous six years. In this respect, McCain and Obama are no different from each other--only McCain has been at it much longer. It's true that McCain would make a better Commander-in-Chief than Obama, but this is like saying that you're better off with an architect who has built numerous bad houses as opposed to someone claiming to be an architect who has never built a house at all, and who actually doesn't like houses much. Isn't it ironic that all of the major contenders for President this year -- McCain, Hillary Clinton, Obama -- are Senators? There's no longer even any pretense of electing an "outsider." The establishment has won ... at least for now.
