Last night Obama had to field an off-the-cuff question from ABC News: "If you had it to do over again, knowing what you know now, would you support the surge?"
Well .. there was a small problem. This was not a question that Barack's handlers had prepared him for. He had no script. He had to ad lib, and for Obama that's not good. Sit down folks. Here is Barack's answer.

See if you can make any sense at all out of this.
Remember, this is the man who wants to be our Commander in Chief responding to a question dealing with military matters. So ... we at the Nuze are now proud to present Obama's answer to the difficult question "If you had to do it over again, knowing what you know now, would you support the surge:"
"No, because keep in mind that question, you wouldn't ... but keep in mind that kind of hypothetical is very difficult to know hindsight is 20-20 ... later ... but I think that what I'm 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."
Wow! Now that's just amazing! What off-the-cuff eloquence! This guy is really sharp. Now we all know why Barack Obama would still vote against the surge ... the troop surge that worked.
Lordy, folks. We have to get over this mass hysteria and start to get serious about selecting our next president. This is just getting ridiculouser and ridiculouser.
“Failure to give credit to the troops and the strategy for the success they clearly have achieved thus far.”
Not only that, but now supposedly Americans don’t even CARE about the surge! Of course there probably is a percentage of Americans that don’t.... sigh.
The surge was a judgment call and Obama failed in that judgment and he doesn’t have the guts to admit Iraq would be in hell if it didn’t occur.
McCain made the right decision and Obama did not. So people should stop touting Obama’s so called judgment.
