"Just mentioned on CNN: Obama to keep US troops in Iraq until December, 2011, followed by a “peace-keeping force.” LOL! LOL!"

Once again CNN dumbs down their audience by not explaining that the UN mandate to be in Iraq expires this December and that a status of forces agreement had been in the works for the past year. So of course CNN says this is Obama's judgment and not explaining the facts that Obama can't do squat against this agreement that was engineered by the Bush Admin that Obama will not touch. That would make it look like Obama is following in Bush's footsteps.

Not sure Obama can depend on the left for votes again. Remember these are the most angry of people-not sure they will vote for a dem just to have one. Not to mention some blacks are die hard liberals, not sure how this is going to play out with them.

Obama is out for Obama, he doesn't want to be remembered as the black president in history that screwed everything up.

People on the left will find out that Obama is following Bush, not to mention anybody can figure that is two years down the road longer than Obama said.
