If only she ran McCain’s campaign

The Wall Street Journal’s Kim Strassel wrote a must-read column today looking into Obama’s campaign claims and how they are incredibly unrealistic.

It would be nice if Obama’s opponent could be a little more aggressive and question how Obama’s vision just does not add up. Strassel says it much better:

 We’d like to thank a few people in the audience. Namely, Republican presidential nominee John McCain, who has so admirably restrained himself from running up on stage to debunk any of these illusions and spoil everyone’s fun.

We know he’s in a bit of a box, having initially blamed today’s financial crisis on corporate “greed,” and thus made it that much harder to call for a corporate tax cut, or warn against excessive regulation. Still, there were some pretty big openings up here this evening, and he let them alone! We’d also like to thank Mr. McCain for keeping all the focus on himself these past weeks. It has helped the Great Obama to just get on with the show.

Instead, we have a Republican candidate who is not overly enamored with the free market system, and a candidate who wants to spend $300 billion on buying “bad” mortgages, and renegotiating with the homeowner to lower their payment (and effectively reward the irresponsible homeowners and banks for their foolish decisions).
