Yes, Obama was wrong about no AlQaeda in Iraq. Caught that one too.
And McCain called him on it. McCain was so very sharp tonight...I didn’t ever think I’d say this but McCain is brilliant...he was so quick you’d have to watch a tape of that debate several times to catch what McCain did to 0
On that subject, I'm getting very sick and tired of Charles Krauthammer looking down his patrician nose at Sarah Palin. I think there's a lot of 'beltway insider' mentality lurking in CK.
I didn’t catch it at the time. Hopefully there will be a youtube video of that exchange.
You did.
I was agreeing with you.
(1) MISSILE DEFENSE: Obama lied (or flip-flopped without admitting it) on his position re missile defense. Tonight he claimed he supports it, when he is on video giving a left-wing rant calling for termination of funding for "unproven" missile defense:
(2) RUSSIA-GEORGIA CONFLICT: Mis-Represents his own position on Russia-Georgia as it "evolved".... he did NOT take the position on Russia-Georgia on the FIRST day of the conflict that he eventually took by day 3.
(3) PRESIDENTIAL SUMMIT WITH IRANIAN LEADERS, NO PRE-CONDITIONS: Obama mis-represents Henry Kissinger's position on Iran in order to pretend that Kissing agrees with the Obamanation. If a Republican candidate in a Presidential debate had just grossly mis-represented the position of the most famous living diplomat on an issue of such vital importance, in order to claim non-existent support for his own position (which position itself is in the midst of major flip-flops), the media would flay that candidate alive and the election is over. It is a measure of the depth and breadth of media bias that this will not even be a blip on the screen, or if they do feel any need to address it they will do so as apologists for the Obamanation.
"Henry Kissinger believes Barack Obama misstated his views on diplomacy with US adversaries and is not happy about being mischaracterized. He says: "Senator McCain is right. I would not recommend the next President of the United States engage in talks with Iran at the Presidential level. My views on this issue are entirely compatible with the views of my friend Senator John McCain. We do not agree on everything, but we do agree that any negotiations with Iran must be geared to reality.""

(3a) PRESIDENTIAL SUMMIT MEETINGS: re: follow-up to (3) above, not only is Obama mis-representing Kissinger's position, but he is LYING (or flip-flopping without ackknowledgement) about his own pledge to hold direct meetings with leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, etc..... (now says he does expect "preparations" etc. - trying to backpeddle on what he actually did say in Democrat debate in July 2007).
Here's the beginning of the blowout if only the MSM could be forced to report it - Obama is LYING about his previous position on meeting with leaders of Iran, etc.:
"Asked if the candidates would be willing to meet “with leaders of Syria, Iran, Venezuela" during their first year in office, Obama immediately said yes and added, “the notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them — which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of this administration — is ridiculous.” These are 3 different vitally important foreign policy issues on which Obambi stumbled, crumbled, fumbled, and/or LIED about his past positions/stands.
This election would be OVER if we actually had a professional, unbiased, competent media.
More on original context for Obama's position on Presidential direct negotiations with the world's worst regimes:
Obama on Meeting With leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, etc.
"The question was a simple one but it elicited one of the few differences between Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama so far in the race for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination: "Would you be willing to meet separately during the first year of your administration, with leaders of Syria, Iran, Venezuela and others to bridge the gap between our countries?"
"Obama said he would be willing to have such meetings." "The notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them — which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of this administration — is ridiculous," explained Obama."
Just for the record, CK comes by his dislike for Sarah Palin naturally. Charles isn’t a real conservative: he’s pro-choice.
I have no idea why he keeps getting presented as some kind of icon conservative. Anyone willing to kill the helpless does want to conserve any rights if he doesn’t want to conserve the right to life.
“I think Obama mentioned Bin Laden about 8 times tonight.”
He’s dead, Jim.
We'd have two different candidates too.
We need to check the pictures of him in a short sleeved shirt, so we can see if he has ever even worn it before.
This is an excellent compilation. Kudos to you.
yeah! That particular one was a doozy.
Either I was too tired to follow him on all his tangents - or he was just throwing random thoughts into the air.
Of course not, Ahmedinejad is the bag man for the Mullahs, but in that case meeting with him makes even LESS sense, since he's not the decision maker and can't cut a deal without checking with the home office.
And McCain called him on this fabrication.
I didn't see that. McCain could have drivin a stake into the vampire's heart but he fell short in my opinion. Not to worry. It's not over yet.
oh yea.. that’s just bad
The following from a google search “roosevelt houses” depression: “...Spurred by documentary photographs, the federal government stepped in in the 1930’s and made Gee’s Bend a model of the New Deal, reimagining the town and replacing skinned-pine log houses chinked with clay with ‘’Roosevelt houses,’’ as they are still called, equipped with leakless roofs, cast-iron stoves and other improvements. The program created a rarity: a whole community of independent African-American landowners in the impoverished rural South...”
So far that’s the most I could find about the Roosevelt Houses.
