Remember when the press was constantly hounding Bush on to admit his decision to invade was a mistake?

I’m sure the same press will now constantly pressure Obama to admit he was wrong. Not.

He’d oppose it because he’s an anti-American marxist who would prefer this country fail in Iraq rather than win because it’s better for him politically.

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.

Since Obama ia a far more articulate spokesman than McCain, I don't see why McCain doesn't just run ads of Obama articulately contradicting Obama. There must be hours of tapes now.

Dick Morris was talking about this last night (I listened to about 1/2 of a minute) but I'm kinda wondering if McCain really wants to win this thing (Dole and Bush #41 apparently didn't).

And “they,” (the liberal media and sheeple) say Bush is a stubborn Texas cowboy who doesn’t listen to his advisors or the true facts! Wonder what names they will call Obama for his stupidity and inability to admit he is wrong. Whatever it is, Obama will call it “inappropriate,” and others will say it is prejudicial. No one can win against this lamebrain. No wonder he has campaigned as a black man, even though he is also 50% white. By choosing to tout his black heritage he can hide behind the excuse that people are picking on him because of it. It also keeps critics from stating the truth about him and his stupidity because they are afraid to appear racist and they want to seem politically correct (and, of course, they are scared of retaliation and riots from the black community for not giving their boy a pass on everything).

I saw this “interview” on ABC news last night. It is amazing how rattled Obama gets when he gets confronted by anyone, even by Terry Moran.

John McCain has plenty good stuff on his website, coming from obama’s own lips. Its staggering!
I doubt the networks will air it so get on there and pass it around.

Do I really want someone leading this country whose ego is so big that, even after learning they were wrong, won’t change their mind? Not good.

Is it just me or has there been a definite lack of pictures showing the messiah with his adoring fans on his trip? I think I have only seen one picture of him with the troops, and he had his back to their unsmiling faces. Could it be that what he is saying is not playing well to anyone but the media?

Proving that he is a fool, to whom reality means nothing. But the failure to confront reality is a failure of many leftists.
