The guy is almost as much of a media whore as McCain!

Aren’t they all, Doug? Certainly Mac doesn’t have the media attention and devotion he had years ago. So I’d have to say that JSM’s media whore status has been usurped by a younger whore…. ain’t it always the way? LOL

I would expect campaign sites to keep up with current events. That, however, is not the point here. BHO presents himself as fit for the CIC/POTUS because of “judgment”.

His judgment on the Surge in 2007 was “the surge is not working”. His judgment turns out to be wrong.

In NH, he continued that poor judgment. July 2007:

“Here’s what we know. The surge has not worked. And they said today, ‘Well, even in September, we’re going to need more time.’ So we’re going to kick this can all the way down to the next president, under the president’s plan.”

Again, his judgment is wrong. And he is too proud to admit his mistakes… a flaw they accuse GWB of daily.

Today BHO seeks not to update for current events, but to mask proof of his erroneous judgment of the military strategy. Why? Because the most important task of a POTUS is as a Commander in Chief, and this is BHO’s Achilles Heel. Here’s a guy, regurgitating his slightly morphed plan in an Iraq speech *before* he goes to Iraq. That’s a guy who has no intention of changing his plan, despite what commanders on the ground or the Iraqis say. Otherwise he would not have set himself up to deliberately be the fool.

One can only conclude that the arrogance the libs accuse GWB of is dwarfed by audacity and arrogance of the Jr. Sen from IL.

I’m no JSM fan, lord knows. And it’s genuinely hard for me to defend him and his flaws. But, all total, he stinks far less than the alternative.

Perhaps, Wendy Morigi, an aide to the Obama campaign can help with the “smoke”: she explained to the Daily News Obama was “not softening his criticism of the surge. We regularly update the Web site to reflect changes in current events.”

Which is true, as I peruse it almost daily, as well as McCain’s. Both appear, from my understanding of them, to react to the MSM currents. Which is understandable, and reasonable. One would expect that to be the case.

For example, You don’t see McCain’s site talking about this plan to privatize social security. But you can bet, when the MSM pushes this issue, their site will respond in some defensive fashion. And so it goes…

Obama’s going to Iraq– it’s big news –one would expect the site to do a revamp; so aides updated the site with the newest content on national security and foreign policy.

As I read the site on Iraq, it’s remained the same–albeit, it’s rhetoric is less strident and more centrist, but Obama’s policy, it’s themes remained largely the same.

For all purposes, the “surge” is over, Obama is now moving on and giving a more updated assessment of what he wants to do next. Obama has acknowledged, online and off, what went right with the surge, and what went wrong— We’ve all had an earful of it; he’s on record enough for most to know where he stands… not to mention his NYT piece and yesterdays speech on Iraq.

His poll bump, if he has one, won’t be from his site anyway, it’ll be from the MSM horde that’s going with him to Iraq.

The guy is almost as much of a media whore as McCain!

What is more important is that Mr. Obama is going to Iraq only to get a grilling from generals and the military who have already stated in no unclear terms that the best course of action is to stay in Iraq until we achieve success.

It will be interesting to see what ‘refinements’ Obama will make to his Iraq policy once he returns from his visit to Iraq. He may return only to become a firm believer in John McCain’s stance and we would welcome Obama’s vote for John McCain for President of the United States.

I totally understand modifying one’s position from time to time or even fully changing it, but Obama’s position on Iraq-the issue that is the CORE issue for Dems…is all over the place, and extreeeeeeeeeeeeeemly close to being the same as Pres Bush’s policy.
