Default Election '08 - Obama Grabs Key Endorsement

JERUSALEM – GOP Sen. John McCain is "absentminded" and "terrible" and his running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, doesn't have any appropriate experience.

Sen. Barack Obama, by contrast, is "highly educated" and "eloquent" and would serve the world much better and improve America's overall situation.

And Sen. Joe Biden is a "very respectable" man with a "good reputation."

All this according to an interview broadcast this week on Iranian state-run media.

"[McCain] doesn't know anything, poor thing. He is terrible. Let me tell you, he's awful," stated Mohammad-Ali Fardanesh, a political science professor at Shahid Behshti University, which is an Iranian state-funded school.

Fardanesh was speaking Tuesday on the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting television network in an interview translated today by the Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI.

Continued Fardanesh about McCain: "He doesn't know the difference between Shiites and Sunnis, yet he wants to resolve the problems in Iraq? He doesn't know whether Iran is Shiite or Sunni, or the difference between the two. ... He is a respectable, humane, honest, and patriotic man, but when it comes to foreign policy and domestic affairs, he has nothing to offer."

"McCain not only has no experience, but doesn't even know where 'abroad' is. The poor guy is very absentminded," said Fardanesh.

The political science professor, billed by Iranian television as a U.S. expert, then turned his sights on Palin, calling her inexperienced.

"I don't think her husband knows about her experience either. She doesn't have any experience," he said.

When an interviewer pointed out Palin is the governor of Alaska, Fardanesh responded, "Sixteen months. She was the mayor of a town of 10,000 residents. The previous governor of Alaska was a very corrupt man, and anybody running against him would have won. That's how she won."

Fardanesh then lavished praise on Obama, stating his election would "improve the situation in America in general."

"The flaw they see in Mr. Obama – which they don't admit – is that he is highly educated and very eloquent. What does he speak so eloquently for?! Mr. McCain, who considers himself such an expert in international politics, still says 'Czechoslovakia.'"

"Mr. Obama's perspective is more clear. Only yesterday, they transferred control of the Al-Anbar province to the Iraqi government, on the first day of Ramadan. This is something Mr. Obama has been saying. Mr. Obama has said several times: 'Al-Qaida operates in 80 countries, but we got ourselves entangled in Iraq. Our presence in Iraq is what led al-Qaida to begin operating there.'"

Asked about Biden, Fardanesh called him "a very respectable man. He has a good reputation, and he is respectable and healthy. He has been in the Senate for 36 years, since he was 29. They are more knowledgeable in foreign affairs."

Turning back to McCain, Fardanesh concluded, "My problem is that McCain is a war hero, a veteran pilot, whose plane crashed in Vietnam and who spent eight and a half years at war."

Iranian TV goes ga-ga over Obama

If the GOP doesn't make a commercial based around Iran practically BEGGING the US citizenry to elect Obama they're missing the boat in a HUGE way.

Didn't the PLO and Castro also "endorse" Obama?

The GOP so far has done a great job on McCain ads. I'm sure they won't miss the op.

If these people overseas were smart, they'd use reverse psycology instead.

No, they're making the same mistake they always do (i.e., that Americans are essentially cowards who cannot stomach the sight of blood and will do anything for "peace"). By assuming the appearance of being "civilized" and desirous of good relations with the US they think we'll all run to Obama so we can kiss and make up.

They are correct about the liberals who make up 25-30% of the population but dead wrong about the rest of us.

Now then.... seems to me that Carter had some kind of involvement with Iran in the past..... hmmmmmmm ............... scenario escapes me....... something, like, bad maybe???..... I'm THINKING that it got resolved just before this Ronald Reagan guy took over for him...... Carter...... Iran...... just not remembering it all the way....

Hang on guys, I'll figure it out sooner or later.

Good GOD - the ad writes itself ......

Castro, Kiim Jong Il, Al Jazeera, Ahmanbinajad (sp?), the PLO ---

Hell, I'd take out a 30 minute all-network simultaneous spot like "I did NOT have sexual relations with that woman"...

See how many swing voters swing right after 30 minutes of that.

Play it at random nights several times a day from Halloween until the booths close.

Obama also grabbed the Key Endorsement of Dywane Nelson, who was best known for his organizing skills and his crowd rally cries. Who could forget: "No Roger, No Rerun, No Rent!" It is now "No Bama, No Biden, No Bliss!"

The difference between Sunni and Shiite? That's easy.

I'm looking outside right now and it's not Sunni at all. In fact, it's pretty Shiite out.
