Shuster: 'Americans Don't Care' If Surge Worked

The things people will do for love. Take David Shuster. Please. So eager is the Obama inamorato to cover for his man, he's willing to sacrifice all semblance of reason. Faced with the implacable fact that Obama was wrong in opposing the surge, Shuster has been reduced to claiming that Americans don't care about the surge's success. Shuster made his descent into abject sycophancy on today's Morning Joe. The jumping off point was a clip from an interview of Obama by ABC's Terry Moran [Brent Baker has the full report on the interview here].

TERRY MORAN: If you had to do it over again, knowing what you know now, would you support the surge?

OBAMA: No, because, keep in mind that-

MORAN: You wouldn't?

OBAMA: Well, no, keep in mind, these kinds of hypotheticals are very difficult. You know, hindsight is 20/20. But I think that, what I am absolutely convinced of is that at that time, we had to change the political debate because the view of the Bush administration at that time was one that I just disagreed with.

After a clip was aired of McCain hammering Obama on his opposition to the surge, Shuster went into full flippers-and-goggles mode.

I think that the thing that disturbs me the most is these dishonest democrats who will say ANYTHING and their idiot followers who will BELIEVE anything they say.

Shuster: ‘Americans Don't Care’ If Surge Worked

That was the moment I switched channels. These people are going insane.

Imagine if McCain defeats the Messiah. Heads will explode live on MSNBC.

Who cares if surge worked

Can we question their patriotism now?

[PowderMonkey]

No surprise here. The Clintonistas subjected him to a good bit of discipline and bondage under the spiked heel of their Dominatrix in Chief for use of the term “pimping” in reference to her daughter. Now the little man is more than willing to serve as a cheerleader for Obama. What does surprise is that Shuster remains a left-wing ideologue. I suppose pimping oneself for the democratic party pays most handsomely after all.

[dinodino]

Good Lord, Shuster is absolutely shameless. Where do these people come from?

[PreciousLiberty]

Nauseating.

[ExGeeEye]

No. They don’t have any.

It’s like questioning my thug life street cred. It just isn’t there.

[BallyBill]

These people bet the whole election on Iraq a long time ago. That is why MSNBC just keeps sticking with the script that seemed to work in ‘06.

[DustyMoment]

Ummmmmm . . . . . . David? If Americans REALLY didn’t care about whether the surge worked or not, how come you’re in the national media spinning your man Obama’s steadfast opposition to it?

I’ll wait.

[LottieDah]

David Shuster is partially correct. Left leaning, America hating, Code Pink, Michael Moore types don’t care if the surge worked. Normal Americans do care.

OBAMA: "Well, no, keep in mind, these kinds of hypotheticals are very difficult. You know, hindsight is 20/20. But I think that, what I am absolutely convinced of is that at that time, we had to change the political debate because the view of the Bush administration at that time was one that I just disagreed with."

Maybe it's early but what did he just say??

[JohnnyP]

He was on Fox in the early days. Think he left after alGore tried to steal the election. Didn’t he run over someone in a parking lot?
