Tonight ABC aired their interview with Sen. Barack Obama with correspondent Terry Moran conducting; here is a clip of the segment that ran on ABC's World News Tonight:

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

It’s no wonder why the Demonrats are the party of affirmative action. Obama is the perfect example of their twisted mindset.

Obammy is a spineless tower of Jello. His seems dark and sweet on the outside but he is completely hollow on the inside......like those bunnies you got at Easter.

I can only hope that the arrogance of this intellectual lightweight begins to wear thin on the MSM, too.

OBAMA in 2008 -
"The First Female President of the United States"

Black was taken by Clinton. . . . .
Strong was taken by Regan
Stupid was taken by Carter

Actually everything but Female was already taken.

Political expediency...

lol the left is retarted, oh i mean special... OK so exactly what judgement does this guy have? He would not have acted against Saddam, he would not have surged, he is historically wrong on all counts and the press and sleepy Americans sing his praise... LOL what makes Obama’s prognostications the best course for America? How many of our kids will die at the hands of this madman? I pray we will never know....

Video of Obama's response to the question about the surge. Eloquence and strategic thinking at its best.

He would still oppose it because he and his lackees and cohorts are, to this day, invested in the defeat of our own forces to the political damage of Bush and the victory of our enemies abroad.

Not surprising when you consider that, in actuality, these people are domestic enemies with more in common with those enemies abroad than with the very nation where they are free to spout such rot.

Video no longer available. Have you noticed how often Obama gaffe videos are disappearing from Google’s YouTube?

To: Salena Zito; All
The critical and telling point is here:

Barack Obama says that he still would have opposed the surge but said he didn't anticipate what people here call the Iraqi surge uprising against Al Qaeda and Shiite extremists.

As a died-in-the-wool leftist, Obama had already accepted the leftist mantra that "Al Queda and Shiite extremists" were freedom fighters against the "occupation", in the eyes of the Iraqi people. To a leftist, "oppressed people" always view the world as a leftist does and through a leftist template. It was inconceivable to the leftists, like Obama, that the majority of the Iraqi people would actually side with the United States AGAINST their citizens who joined Al Queda or the militias.

Obama is unable to now change his opinion about the surge, when it was proposed, regardless of the facts on the ground, because he cannot change the template, the leftist template, in which he forms all such views.

So it's all about BDS?

"Yes, the surge has worked and resulted in stopping the killing by Al Queda and extremists. But I hate Bush so much that I would've voted for the choice that would result in more deaths."
