Iraq will probably go down in the books as one of the worst errors America ever made.

This is one of the few promises that the President decided to keep. Where's that rescue plan for the middle class, the era of transparency, no jobs for lobbyists,the elimination of ear marks, the jumpstart for jobs etc.,etc.,etc? And the economy? Matt Taibbi has an interesting analysis of that here: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/31234647/obamas_big_sellout/print But escalating the war in Afghanistan? Absolutely. He kept his promise. Good for him! You’re absolutely right, Pablo. This is one of the few promises that the President decided to keep.

And the same people didn't pay attention when Obama voted for FISA after the primaries, started supporting NAFTA after having demonized Hillary for it, and even said that "having the blues" shouldn't qualify as a health reason for women to terminate their pregnancies. In conclusion, people did not want to hear anything that would stain their image of the great Obama. And his wife is his partner in crime. She is an envious, sour grapes, narcissistic, resentful woman whose only passion in life has been to make money and use her husband's political offices, now and in the past, for personal gain.

His arrogance and inflated sense of importance is staggering. I only hope that the American people keep his labors to a 4-year term. He can then feel free to go labor elsewhere. Hopefully, 53% won't be fooled again. I totally reacted to that “labors on the world stage” remark. His arrogance and inflated sense of importance is staggering.

Troop levels there have already been doubled since January and will be tripled in 8 months. Anyone who paid attention to what he was saying shouldn't be surprised. Further, however much I disagreed with the unnecessary invasion and occupation of Iraq, and however much I dislike sending American troops into foreign conflicts in general, I was appalled by our inattention to the war that really matters. If our attention slips again there <strong>will</strong> be hell to pay. We've been lucky so far not to have witnessed another demonstration. Sorry if that opinion doesn't fit anyone's generally accepted presumptions about liberal thinking.

Interesting like in the way they are now acting like the North Koreans. Obama didn't say anything to North Korea, and didn't mention this test fire by Russia. Interesting all the way around... that they would pick that time and place to do it, and the non reaction part. If this was a test not of the missile, but of the reaction to it... then the message we are sending is pretty clear. Welcome back Carter. Now, where did we put that "paper tiger" costume?
