Well, well, another reader of Michael Steele’s Big Book of War is heard from!
Obama was still taking constituent calls about potholes when this war was started by hirabist barbarians driving more than a kiloton of combat power into office buildings in two of our cities. This isn’t Obama’s war, it’s America’s war, and it’s a long and global war. And it’s one we must win unless we want our descendants to be slaves to a moon god.
“Conservatives” trying to score points off of “Obama’s war” are Code Pink with more body hair and fewer venereal diseases.
He owns this war just as much as he owns our health system (though past Republicans contributed to its socialization. Obama has not only embraced this war (far more than Bush or McCain), he has escalated it, deployed more troops there, and appointed the last three commanders. HE IS THE FRIGGIN COMMANDER IN CHIEF AND IF YOU SUPPORT THIS WAR, YOU ARE BACKING HIM.
Are you willing to expand your "America's War" claim to other issues? For example, are you willing to argue that Obama is not responsible for the deficit because Bush also ran deficits thus they are "America's deficits?" Sorry, but that won't wash.
