"Well, you know, I think the opposition to the war in Iraq was as tough a decision as I've had to make." -- Barack Obama, August 16, 2008

"I don't oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other armchair, weekend warriors in this administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne. What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks like Karl Rove to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in the poverty rate, a drop in the median income, to distract us from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression." -- Barack Obama, October 26, 2002

I do a lot of deep thinking myself. But it's usually on the throne with some good reading material.

“Rash war”

Russia’s war against Georgia was rash. The “run up to Iraq war” was 14 months

[Neoliberalnot]

Put suspenders on him, pull his pants up, and you have Urkel Hussein Obamarama.

The “run up to Iraq war” was 14 months

The run up to the Iraq war was actually 12 years. 12 years of Iraq failing to meet the requirements of the cease fire that ended Desert Storm. 12 years of patrolling the no-fly zones, shady oil smuggling, an assassination attempt on GHW Bush, etc.

Early in 2008 my take on Obama was that he was just as far to the left as Hillary but at least seemed to be a nicer person. If you listen to his language or read what he says, that’s not true—he’s all vitriol and spite when it comes to anyone he disagrees with.

[realcleanguy]

12 years is awful fast, for a runup to war......(sarcasm)

[seastay]

I ran into somebody from Alaska today, He said his wife has met Sarah Plain, and thinks it was just a stunt to add her to the ticket because she is inexperienced. I asked him what experience Obama has, his reply paraphrased, although he would conceded that Obama has no experience Obama unlike Sarah is smart and can make good speeches.

Unbelievable, why is it every Republican in the last 20 years is stupid for some reason in peoples, eyes while the Democratic candidates are always more intelligent?

It is amazing how anyone can think Obama is smart if he could favor bills for infanticide with a belief that is mainstream, thinks global warming is ONLY man made, believe the war on terroism is only in Afghanistan, believes dictators such as Saddam or AKmenDinnerjacket should be invited to the white house for tea, thinks that we can afford to pay for every illegal immigrant on the planet’s health care, thinks that the US is a downright mean country, has awful judgment in friends, such as terrorists like Ayers, can’t tell real Christians from black liberation activist and can’t handle a budget even as a community organizer, and has no other career accomplishment his entire adult life,,,, this is intelligence .... duh,,,what gives???

Just noticed that back in 2002 it was also the worst month since the Great Depression with him.

This guy badly needs some anti-depressants.

“I do a lot of deep thinking myself. But it’s usually on the throne with some good reading material.”

Well, then, I do that, too. It’s only when there is no reading material that I end up just thinking that I am merely ‘making a deposit’, as in a bank. LOL!
