Obviously, it will now be McSame's idea and how dare Obama try to claim credit.

And once again, Obama was clairvoyant. He called for additional troops to Afghanistan, months ago! Now that's real leadership!

The media will do nothing about it. McCain always get a pass. Just think if Obama told that horrible joke about rape, the media would have a field day.
What's so crazy though, the GOP now talking point is that Obama is Bush. These people are, well, crazy.

I love how we have more troups serving now then before - but the "official" word is that "the surge is over". To me, more troups = the surge is still on.

I suppose it shows he's finally learning about military policy.
Too bad Obama doesn't have time to tutor him on the economy too.
Obama has been saying this needed to happen for quite awhile now. It looks like McBush is copying Obama's tactics. What is interesting is that McBush continues to say that Obama doesn't have the experience that he has for war yet Obama's been correct all along and it has taken McBush all this time to see it the way Obama does. I think this blows McBush's blather about Obama away.

John McCain, overheard the other day, "I just love early Altzeimer's! I meet new friends every day!!!"

Is it me or did I read Obama actually said "3 Brigades" a few days ago?
it would seem the adnministration wants to begin doing what Obama has called for more than a year ago, gee, why could that be?

The guy flip-flops more than the ones I walk in. As to his supposed military experience that would make him a great "commander-in-chief," keep in mind that a goodly part of his military career was as a PRISONER OF WAR. Isn't that what the entire United States is today? Will he take us even deeper into the muck and mire? You betcha. I don't want yet another "commander--in-chief" -- I want a President!

Does he know where Afghanistan is? If he asks, tell him it's near Persia.
and why do all of McCain's flip flops or "ideas" sound like the same position Obama took the previous week. it is like they are watching the news and see him say "We cannot ignore Afghanistan......." and suddenly, McCain's advisors go, "Yeah, we oughta do what he did....."
I'm waiting for McCain to make the speech about black fathers and responsibility and Jesse Jackson threaten to cut his nutz off.

I’ve said this more than once; if the opposite of pro is con then the opposite of progress is congress!
