Why are conservatives so bad at capitalizing on liberal gaffs? The fact that Obama opposed the war in Iraq should by all logic indicate that Obama can’t make reasonable decisions. All intelligence organizations from around the world believed that Saddam had WMDs. Republicans and Democrats alike believed he had WMDs. Saddam had refused to allow inspections indicating he had something to hide. At one time, he had WMDs and had used them. It was a fact that Saddam wanted WMDs. There was no rush to war; the United States waited for years for Saddam to allow inspections. So based on all the info we had at the time, no reasonable person would have concluded that there were no WMDs. So what do you say about a person who ignores all evidence when making decisions. If you are accidentally right because you totally misunderstand the available data, that doesn’t mean you have superior logic or insight. It’s called dumb luck–a broken clock. In this case, you can tell it’s dumb luck because of the fact that he has been wrong about everything else (the surge). So do you want to elect a president whose only claim to fame is dumb luck?
What’s more amazing is that, as far as I know, up to the beginning of the war, Obama never claimed that he believed that Saddam didn’t have WMDs, so there’s every reason to believe that he did believe it. So why exactly did he oppose the war? Dumb luck.
So why can’t conservatives make that stick. Why can’t they present Obama for what he is, a broken clock, a guy who relies on dumb luck. Do you really want the security of the country based on the decisions of a person who can’t comprehend the evidence?

Our own Emily Litella, Editor-in-Chief of the latest edition of “Encylopedia of Liberal False Knowledge”, told us, sweetly:

There’s the intelligence “failures”, firing the general who said how many troops we would need, . . .

Errr.ummm… John McCain didn’t gather the intelligence. He (like Bush) relied upon intelligence from a CIA run by a Clinton hold-over.

wikipedia says this about lgm’s latter claim:

“Contrary to Democratic candidate John Kerry’s claim, in the first debate of the 2004 presidential election, Shinseki was not “retired” for his testimony before Congress. His official term as Chief of the Army ended four months later and he retired as scheduled.”

Nevermind……

One thing I can say about the anointed ones for POTUS they are both flipping faster they a team of acrobats. The Obamessiah makes the “grumpy old man” look fairly consistent and stable considering how much he has flipped and flopped and misstated himself in the past couple of weeks.

If you’re looking for judgement, Obama’s track record is way better than Bush/McCain.

Ah yes, getting ready to (pardon me) whitewash his presidential activities with the aid of the media.

As for judgment, are you really defending his “sound” judgement on advisors, both religious and political? Or are you just going on his ability to read from notes and teleprompters? I guess you would have to, since his track record is really nonexistent. A community activist for ACORN? Gee, I guess a track record of helping voter fraud is a qualification for the Democrat candidacy anyway.

I know, you will vote for him for the reason the press keeps repeating: the first black president. That and black group identification and the ridiculous “white guilt.”

That would really make him the first “affirmative” action president.

Actually, Obama has voted much more often than McCain during the campaign. If you choose the more frequent voter, that would be Obama.

Hey, lgm! Summer’s Eve called. They don’t like the bad image you’re giving their product.

So you admit the “infallible” B Hussein Obama is capable of deletes?

I guess I should mention that adage that some adhere to; ‘A Conservative is a Liberal that’s been mugged’.
I perceive a sea change beginning in Rusty’s rap.

I and my family are so proud. I have finally realized that lgm is my Brother. He has improved to such a degree I first thought he had been released and we weren’t notified, but understanding modern technology it would seem he’s able to communicate via the internet sometimes in the morning before his meds are forced down his throat.
This is an astounding, unexpected sign of progress. Years ago we were forced to accept the ‘loss’ of our dear brother and the prognosis of ‘total disassociation’ from any relevant social reality.
It’s obvious that lgm has progressed at least to an awareness of the 19th Century Progressive movement. We can only hope for more progress.

It’s called consensus & bipartisanship.

You may choose to call that stuff apple butter if wish, in which case, all I can say is bon appetit; but pardon me if I choose not to partake.

The new Messiah is not the King in his new clothes. The Robes the anointed sports are TAPIOCA, not white, not brown, more the color of a Chameleon (species Changerson), on a road apple. I certainly hope I can keep some pocket change.

Our future, with a President Obama:

My God, you had the same nightmare/dream that I did! The nightmare is the first part. The dreamy part was all that stuff about impeachment.

The real scary part? None of your prognostications are implausible.

You know, lgm, I think the point of this post was to illustrate that BO realized he made an arrogant assumption some time ago, and is now trying to cover his tracks.

By simply removing his original comments about the surge, which were in fact made quite prematurely, and not even addressing the fact that he was wrong, hasn’t BO acted just like a typical liberal politican of the past?

Where’s the hope and change?

BTW, attempting to change the subject and deflect criticism toward Booooosh is getting kind of old. Can’t you address the core issue?
