Obama: "I am not prepared to be Commander in Chief"

Well, that's not exactly what he said, but that's what Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama signaled when he recently proclaimed, "'I think it would be a profound mistake for us to use nuclear weapons in any circumstance...'" Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he may have been misquoted (does anyone have a video?), or he may yet come forward with a more coherent statement clarifying his position. If not, this was a presidential career-ending statement. By declaring that he is unprepared to use the full range of military options, even if circumstances dictate, Obama has removed himself from serious consideration for the job of Commander in Chief.

August 2, 2007 - the day Barack Obama's run for the Presidency ended. Mark it.
- Gee
