Is this really a question?

I'm sitting on my couch flipping channels and just landed on the democratic debate. It was a toss-up between watching that and The True Hollywood Story of Sex and the City, but then I was fortunate enough to catch Wolf Blitzer ask the question, "Are Human Rights more important than American national security?"

Richardson - "human rights are important" blah blah blah

Osama Obama - "the two go hand-in-hand, one is not sacrificed at the mercy of the other..." and just as he's about to explain the characteristics the U.S. needs to protray to the world, he's cut off by a commercial for Sony flat screen tv's

Billary Clinton - "national security trumps human rights because the first obligation of the president of the u.s. is to protect the security of the u.s. although that doesn't mean we should neglect our interests elsewhere..."

Is this really a question?

I enjoy that the moderator is the highly enlightened Wolf Blitzer from CNN, the most trusted name in news. And it's nice to see questions being asked by John Roberts, formerly known as J.D. Roberts, master VJ of muchmusic back in the 80s when it was kind of a cool show to watch. You've come a long way, baby.
