With Supporters and Advisors Like This, Who Needs Swiftboating?

Recent comments by Charles R. Black Jr., a key advisor to Senator John McCain have sparked a firestorm that is being fanned by the Senator Barack Obama’s camp.  Mr. Black merely stated that a terrorist attack during the campaign would strengthen Senator McCain’s presidential bid.  The real question in this campaign is what idiot picks these advisors?

This year seems to be plagued with crazy remarks from crazy advisors, supporters, friends, and family members that completely undermine the candidacy of the person they are trying to support.  Where are all of these people coming from and how can they be stopped. 

I do have to wonder, in light of what I have seen throughout this year if any of the serious candidates for president (Senator’s McCain, Obama, and Clinton) have shown themselves unable to fulfill the office of president simply because they have no ability to appoint the right people, discern which people are good or outright stupid advisors, and control the crazy people that are otherwise involved in their lives. 

If the campaigns of these three people are any indicator of what a presidency will look like, I certainly will pass. 

A huge part of a presidency finds it’s foundations in whom the president surrounds himself or herself with and appoints to major positions that have influence over the entire planet.  The people around the three serious candidates that we had been left with (now two) are amateurish (to put it politely). 

The mistakes and stupidity seen this year are not old Washington politics they are best classified as armature Washington stupidity.

Once again, I assert that clearly non e of the aforementioned candidates is ready to be president for the next four years and we need a better candidate from somewhere.
