‘We Have Chosen Hope Over Fear’: Did Obama Diss McCain?

Get the Flash Player to see the wordTube Media Player.

As President-elect, Barack Obama honored John McCain at a dinner last night. But as President, did Barack Obama diss McCain today?

Consider these words from his inaugural address:

BARACK OBAMA: On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear. Unity of purpose over conflict and discord.

It can’t be reasonably argued that Pres. Obama was referring to the last eight years under George Bush. George Bush wasn’t on the ballot this past November. Americans had no chance to choose him.

So if Americans chose Obama as the candidate of “hope,” then McCain must have been the candidate of “fear.” And if Americans chose Obama as the candidate of “unity,” McCain must have been the candidate of “conflict and discord.”

A rather partisan and self-aggrandizing remark with which to enter this supposedly post-partisan age, no?
