I now know why Obama is getting more media coverage going to Iraq then McCain.

McCain goes to Iraq and Afghanistan to see what  progress is being made and Obama is campaigning for world leader, at least thats the way it looks, but when confronted with a simple question and after seeing the progress in Iraq he is left stuttering words and dodging questions.

Terry Moran asks, If you had to do it over again, knowing what you know now, would you support the surge? Obama  first says no, then stutters and says hindsight is 20/20, this is a common answer when you are backed into a corner, Obama also said that at the time of the surge he didn't like President Bush and that they needed to take a political stand, this war and the choices that are made should be made by evaluating what is going on, on the ground and not because you don't like your leader.

ABC's George Stephanopoulos say's Obama is droping in the polls among young voters, maybe they are waking up from the dream world they were put in and are now seeing the true Obama and that he is still the same type of Democratic politician thay have always seen, I guess he should stick to the staged setting and written speeches and never come underfire.

OBAMA:........what I consider two false choices, which is either I have a rigid time line of such and such a date, come hell or high water, we've gotten our combat troops out, and I am blind to anything that happens in the intervening six months or 16 months. Or, alternatively, I am completely deferring to whatever the commanders on the ground says, which is what George Bush says he's doing, in which case I'm not doing my job as Commander-in-Chief.

   Who says there's no comedy in the obama campaign.  The poor guy has himself in a bind.  He either sticks with his long time stated position of "I will end this war and bring the troops home in 16 months" which is now shown to be a bad decision because we and the Iraqi's are winning or he has to do the same thing that George Bush is doing , let the military make military decisions on when to remove troops.  The reason he has a dilema is because he is no longer running as a far lefty and as he moves to the right he's finding George Bush and John McCain already working that street corner.

 This was Obama's first ever trip to Afghanistan and is Obama's second trip to Iraq. His first was in January 2006 when the country was plunged into horrific violence. But the surge of U.S. troops, combined with ordinary Iraqis' rejection of both al-Qaeda and Shiite extremists, has transformed the country. Attacks are down by more than 80 percent nationwide. U.S. combat casualties have plummeted -- five this month so far, compared with 78 last July. And Baghdad has a pulse again.

The way I see it If Obama wins the election we will have the same type of Government we have now, Democrats and Republicans fighting for power.

McCain would pull both parties together, he has crossed the line on some issues and voted with Dems.

As for Katie Courics interview, she may as well been changing diapers on babies, she didn't ask hard questions and it looked staged, like Obama knew what she was going to ask.

Terry stumped Obama and left him with the "Deer in the headlight" look

BTW, Obama did make enemies with the Palestinians, he made a comment that he now has to live with and can't back out of, but it doesn't really matter other Countries don't vote for the American President
