I would hope you would want someone to have those beliefs in regards to this situation. And really, I think Obama knows the reality of war better than you or I considering he's actually seen it. The days of having to have fought in a war to be president are over. Welcome to a new era and a new party in office come November 4th! :) AND, one more thing if I may dominate your comments field on this post a little more, even Obama said that while we need to end the war in Iraq, we need to do it with thoughtfulness and carefulness, so he didn’t mince words, he stated this and he was right.

Good luck with that thinking.

I thought it was brilliant of him to mention his bracelet. It was him saying, "You have a bracelet of a parent who wants us to stay in this war and I have a bracelet of a parent who doesn't want us to stay in this war." Why do you think it is okay for McCain to mention his bracelet and not Obama? I assume the only reason you are bringing this up is because your predictions from an earlier blog were seriously misguided and completely incorrect. If his mentioning his bracelet was the only problem you had with the debate, it would appear that your "misgivings" about Obama are based on non-issues, like the bracelets both candidates wear. I mean, really? All polls show Obama was the clear victor of this debate and that McCain was disrespectful in never looking at Obama and rude in his facial expressions and reactions to Obama. I love that you got your ideas on Obama and McCain's ability to make decisions about war based on a bracelet. Come on, Kevin. You're reaching here. I could not disagree with you more on this.
