A spokesperson for McCain….

…calls Obama the commander-in-chief!?!? That is a WTF Moment if ever I saw one!

In an apparent attack on Obama Lt. Col. Joe Reypya side-swiped the McCain camp griping about how it was the solemn duty of the president to visit the injured. This, I must admit, I can see and it is perfectly understandable that he should want the American president to visit those injured – all well and good, yeah?

No!

He was talking about Obama:

On Saturday, retired Lt. Col. Joe Reypya, speaking on behalf of Sen. John McCain’s campaign, lashed out at Obama’s decision.

“The most solemn duty of a commander in chief is to fulfill his responsibility to the men and women who serve this country in uniform. Barack Obama … broke that commitment, instead flitting from one European capital to the next,” he said in a statement.

But wasn’t the McCain camp saying that Obama was acting too presidential, then not enough, then now saying he IS the president – it kinda gets rather confusing from here on in.

Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said in a statement that the last thing Obama wanted “was to have injured soldiers get pulled into the back-and-forth of a political campaign.”

Isn’t that reasonable? And, as we know, the visit to Europe wasn’t a political campaign and campaigning – it was a senatorial visit, with REPUBLICANS! So they are complaining about other Republicans, too? Must be – or is it that McCain and his camp want to make this visit into a political boxing ring – if that is the case Obama can, justifiably, return the favour by speaking about McCain’s campaigning outside of the US. All’s fair in love and war, what?

A top aide to Sen. Barack Obama said Friday that the campaign canceled a visit to an American military base in Germany the day before because the Pentagon expressed concerns that it would be viewed as a campaign trip.

So we can also take it that McCain is criticising the Pentagon – does McCain know who the Pentagon are?

Can we safely say the McCain camp is in disarray?

Hmmmmmmmm!
