The Devil Went Down to Georgia
So Russia is evil and violent. Who knew?
This, of course, is very bad for Georgia, but it's also very bad for Obama. The more often people remember there are problems in the world that can't be fixed through smiles and trite sayings, the more people who will be apprehensive about voting for Obama. This is the sort of crisis that gives a solid argument for McCain, too. I talked to a McCain supporter and an Obama supporter asking them to tell me why their candidate would be best to handle this, and here's what they said:
MCCAIN SUPPORTER: "Though not everyone likes McCain, they have to admit he's a tough bastard who has shown before he knows how to react to foreign crises when lives are on the line. Russia should be intimidated about overstepping themselves too much if McCain is in charge."
OBAMA SUPPORTER: "Obama should be able to handle this crisis because he has such a sweet smile and a cute button nose. And look how his ears stick out; isn't he adorable! I just want to hug him and squeeze him and never let go!"
So, do you all think we'll finally get that war with Russia we were all expecting during the eighties? Probably still not a good idea, huh?
