James Webb-Obama VP Candidate? (Ruh Roh)



I've watched it three times now....


4 minutes in, winning question "Bottomline: Do you now believe that women can in fact provide men with combat leadership....."

DUDE. DOES. NOT. ANSWER. QUESTION. AT. ALL.

He quips out a knee-jerk "absolutely", but then quickly says something quite different. I was left thinking that Webb is riding on the coattails of the progression that military has made, albeit slow and somewhat reluctant, though he himself was not a part of it. ..... my impression is that Webb 26 years ago, and even 11 years ago is just not capable of visualizing women in leadership roles.

And "getting into the Naval Academy is any horny woman's dream"?????

How could you NOT think that would come back to bite you in the ass?
