Is Obama Too Partisan to be Commander-in-Chief?

Don Surber asks and answers:

Question: Is Barack Obama too partisan to be commander in chief?

Answer: I had not really thought of it that way until I read Jay Nordlinger’s review of this snipped from Obama’s speech on security today:

“The Supreme Court that invalidated the system of prosecution at Guantanamo in 2006 was overwhelmingly appointed by Republican presidents.”

Wrote Nordlinger: “I don’t remember a president’s talking this way: about the party affiliations of presidents who appointed Supreme Court justices. I don’t recall a president’s describing a Court that way. Been following politics for a while. And I’ve never heard an important presidential national-security speech that sounded so much like a campaign speech — even in the midst of an actual campaign.”

Politics is supposed to end at the water’s edge. This is the first president to use a springboard to dive into politics at the water’s edge.

Question: What did he mean by post-partisan?

Answer: Unipartisan. One party. When President Bush said you’re either with us or against us, he meant belligerent states. Obama means Republicans.

Obama didn't bother to mention that two of the most liberal judges on the Supreme Court who have consistently sided with the most liberal of rulings were also appointed by Republicans. John Paul Stevens (Gerald Ford) and David Souter (George H.W. Bush).
