Reagan Appointee and McCain Adviser Charles Fried Supports Obama

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Charles Fried, a professor at Harvard Law School, has long been one of the most important conservative thinkers in the United States. Under President Reagan, he served, with great distinction, as Solicitor General of the United States. Since then, he has been prominently associated with several Republican leaders and candidates, most recently John McCain, for whom he expressed his enthusiastic support in January.

This week, Fried announced that he has voted for Obama-Biden by absentee ballot. In his letter to Trevor Potter, the General Counsel to the McCain-Palin campaign, he asked that his name be removed from the several campaign-related committees on which he serves. In that letter, he said that chief among the reasons for his decision "is the choice of Sarah Palin at a time of deep national crisis."

Fried is exceptionally thoughtful and principled; his vote for Obama is especially noteworthy.

He's lying. He's hoping to lull Obama supporters into a false sense of security. Come Nov 5th he's going to jump out of a cake and shout 'Surprise!' while brandishing documents that prove, not only that Barack Obama was not born in the US from US parents, but that he is in fact the anti-christ.

Noteworthy yes, but as a Harvard associate he is an elitist and cannot be trusted.
