Tonight Barack Obama told ABC News that, knowing what we know now--that the surge in Iraq has been a success, that it has drastically reduced violence and given Iraq a shot at a bright future--he would still oppose it:
This was, I think, a moment of candor. To explain his seemingly-shocking response, Obama immediately referred to political considerations. Opposing the Bush administration's policy on Iraq, even if that opposition turned out to be wrong, was a necessary ingredient in Obama's securing the Democratic Presidential nomination. That being the case, how can Obama, a purely political animal, regret a decision that advanced his own career?

Obama immediately referred to political considerations. Which nicely sums up his inability to keep promises.

I'm convinced that Obama is, in a clinical sense, a sociopath - meaning that he lacks an innate sense of right and wrong, good and evil. He is the epitome of the self-seeking opportunist. And he is the most dangerous man to ever receive a major party nomination for the Presidency.

Interpretation:
Lives of US soldiers and military victory are not as important as proving himself to be right. In a profession of egomaniacs, even this is over the top!

Obama has told us what we already know: his political welfare takes precedence over the welfare of the country. A man motivated by such a consideration is unfit to become its Commander In Chief!

He could care less about our troops, the war or our country. He is a worthless human being in every single way. God helps us all if he does get elected.

I'm convinced that Obama is, in a clinical sense, a sociopath - meaning that he lacks an innate sense of right and wrong, good and evil.His vote to allow babies that survived abortions to be neglected to death told me all I needed to know about his moral compass.
He is the epitome of the self-seeking opportunist. And he is the most dangerous man to ever receive a major party nomination for the Presidency.
My conclusion as well.
I still wonder "who sent him" as they say in Chicago.
He is an empty vessel with no moral compass, only political instinct.

Where are our PACs? A smart one would run with this snippet and other equally horrific comments Obama has made to totally expose his utter incompetence and readiness for the job to the American voters. Unfortunately, most voters rely on the MSM for their news and to shape their opinions for them.
