I've heard this a few times, the radio play is stressing the failure to acknowledge the surge's success. There are two additional points that are equally disturbing.

1) (as noted) Failure to give credit to the troops and the strategy for the success they clearly have achieved thus far.

2) Obama explains that a reason he was against the plan is because the president was for it. (without respect to wether the plan had merit). This is not congruent with his "not the same old politics" theme.

3) He and his advisers apparently did not foresee anyone asking him this question? He clearly was not prepared to answer it. A third grader would be able to predict someone asking about his perspective now (that he has been there) versus several months ago when the surge was up for vote.

Can we really elect someone this obtuse?

“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.
