   The veterans groups, bless them, never really like any proposal because no proposal ever has enough money to suit them.

   McCain has also attacked Obama yet again as being willing to lose a war to win a campaign. How long will Obama let this go on? He has fallen into a defensive mode, answering McCain’s attacks (sometimes) while making few of his own.

   Bill Clinton tried to teach Democrats that every attack gets answered in the same news cycle. His campaign against the first Bush also did a great job telling the country why Bush I shouldn’t have been reelected. Gore and Kerry failed to learn those lessons and lost. Obama seems committed to repeating their mistakes.

   I am an African-American, a committed Democrat and an Obama supporter who never thought I’d live to see a black president. Yet I have a much clearer sense right now (one I can define in the 30 space of a campaign commercial) of why McCain thinks he should be elected and why he thinks Obama shouldn’t be, than I have of the reverse.

   Once upon a time (2000) I thought McCain’s election might be good or at least acceptable for the country. I no longer think that. Indeed, considering our fiscal, economic and diplomatic situations, I think a McCain presidency might be a disaster. But I can’t tell from Obama’s campaign what he thinks. Does he think McCain would make a good President? I don’t know? Would he be a bad one? I don’t know. McCain’s attacks on Obama however fraudulent are at least heartfelt. I can’t say that about Obama’s attacks on McCain.

   I for one really miss MoveOn.

   If the VFW opposes it, it can’t be good.
