The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

More that scares me about Obama and Hillary....

When talking about the plan to eliminate the gas tax over the summer, Hillary says she doesn't care that economists think it's a bad idea because, well, she knows better than economists.

Many economists oppose the plan and Clinton, during an interview on ABC's "This Week," demurred when asked to name one who supports it. "I'm not going to put my lot in with economists because I know if we did it right ... it would be implemented effectively," she said.

However, I like what she said about Iran.

"I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran," Clinton said April 22 in an interview with ABC. "In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them."

But Obama doesn't like that kind of talk, apparently, which to me goes toward how naive he is when it comes to foreign policy. What should we say to Iran? If you attack Israel we'll sit down and stalk with you about it?

Obama said, "It's not the language we need right now, and I think it's language reflective of George Bush" akin to "bluster and saber rattling."
