I know kids like that. So many are being brought up to believe that their intellects are the most important part of who they are. Barack does seem to have a desire to be honorable, though. It's just that he's been awash in moral relativism all his life. <BR/>And it aggravates me no end when the Dems compare his young age to JFK's, as though a comparison with a PT boat Lieutenant JG, with the life and death responsibility for his men, and who acted accordingly, could in any way compare with him, this young offspring of a baby boomer like me. Give me a 25-30 year old Iraq War captain any day.<BR/> <BR/>I am so proud of our young people of this generation who have taken on that responsibility. (You should be especially proud, Buck!) They and Barack must stare at each other across a very wide gulf. Reality can be focused through very different lenses, can't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-25183481600444817722008-05-01T14:41:00.000-06:002008-05-01T14:41:00.000-06:00Bec said...Poor Barack - well-intentioned, bright ...<I>Bec said...<BR/>Poor Barack - well-intentioned, bright kid.
