Australian Prime Minister John Howard criticized Barack Obama Sunday, just 24 hours after he announced he was entering the presidential race, about his stance on the Iraq War. Howard said that Iraq's al-Qaeda leaders should "be praying as many times as possible for a victory, not only for Obama but also for the Democrats" in the 2008 election.
What is interesting is that Howard's son worked for President Bush's reelection campaign in 2004. This strikes me as a conflict of interest, and not an honest critique of a politician's stance on an issue. To me this just smacks of the same partisan rhetoric that plagues politics across the country. Instead of actual public discrourse Mr. Howard's comments reinforce many opinions that politicians simply care about their own party and not about the issues.
