Barak Obama Needs to Police His Supporters

Ah, yes. We've reached the point where ideas just might matter. Take the idea that a Cuban flag with Che Guavara's image on it flies in Barak Obama's Houston campaign office.


These are the kinds of gaffes that will eventually sink the Obama candidacy. Not simply because it shows how little the Obama fans know about Che, but because, in defending the flag, they will turn off potential voters who will wonder how radical Obama actually is. Granted, a lot of his supporters might consider the Che flag as an asset, but remember, everybody has to run to the center to win in November. For Obama, that means leaving his lefty roots in the dust.
