Obama and Judgment
Senator Obama’s retort to Senator Clinton’s 3AM telephone call ad contrasts his judgment with Hillary’s experience. But John Fund’s OpEd article in the 3 March 2008 Wall Street Journal (“Obama and Chicago Mores”) reminds us that Barack has judgment issues of his own.
The vote that Senator Clinton cast in 2002 authorizing the use of force against Saddam Hussein was, if anything, a failure in accurately judging the reasonableness of the man in the White House, George Bush. She gave him more credit than he deserved for using caution, like his father, in deciding to wield America’s power and spill its blood, not to mention the blood of our opponents and allies.
Senator Obama has apparently made a similar mistake in evaluating the character of campaign fund-raiser and real-estate deal partner, Tony Rezko. Democrats can be thankful for Senator McCain’s stubborn conversion to Bush’s side based on his own failure of character judgment as much on his never finding himself in a war he didn’t like.
