Obama vs. McCain
McCain wins. I’m not sure why he bothered to engage with this lightweight, but it did help illustrate what a lightweight he is.
Greg Sargent at TPM needs help figuring out whether Obama’s comeback was effective or not. Well, if you have to ask …
Allah at Hotair predicted the chickenhawk thing was going to boomerang on the Left, and there it goes! Obama fails to duck, gets thwacked.
HuffPo: How dare they mock Obama after he mocks them! “RPG from a Bong,” indeed!

Obama might be a force to be reckoned with in the Democratic Party in the future… but he’s not there yet. Particularly since their traditional African-American power base can’t even agree on how black he is. The MSM love him, but they’re wasting their time. IMO, he’s got a snowball’s chance in hell of winning the nomination.

I almost ruined a keyboard when I read the RPG & bong comment! I’m not fond of McCain, but he did score with that one.
And, by the way, McCain wore “individual ballistic armor”, or IBA; flak jackets were intended to protect against shrapnel, not bullets. IBA is fairly bullet proof, flak vests are generally not bulletproof; in fact, I’m not sure if they even make flak jackets anymore.
So Obama is wrong in TWO regards. McCain could have dinged him with that as well, but the soundbyte is much better this way.
