What’s said on the campaign trail, you know, those folks don’t have a lot of responsibilities. They’re not commander in chief. And when I see the casualness with which some of these folks talk about war I’m reminded of the costs involved in war. I’m reminded that the decision that I have to make in terms of sending our young men and women into battle and the impact that has on their lives, the impact it has on our national security, the impact it has on our economy. This is not a game. There’s nothing casual about it.
Um… I’m assuming I don’t need to remind anyone of his 2008 campaign and how it was, you know, also an election campaign and, you know, just a better branded version of the GOP candidates’.
Just because you speak well, that by no means means that you care more. It means you are a fantastic orator.
