It has taken me a long time. And for a while, I thought I got it. But now I know, without ANY doubt, why Democrats like Senator Barack Obama so much.
I thought for a while it was because he was a different kind of politician. But, I was wrong. And for those who disagree, welcome to this blog. I highly recommend the archives.
But here is an example of why Democrats like this guy. Yesterday, Senator Obama had this exchange with ABC News' Terry Moran.
Q: If you had to do it over again, knowing what you know now, would you support the surge?
Obama: No. Because, keep in mind that —
Q: You wouldn’t?
Obama: Keep in mind, these kind of hypotheticals are very difficult. You know hindsight is 20/20. But I think that what I am absolutely convinced of is at that time we had to change the political debate because the view of the Bush administration at that time was one I just disagreed with.
Charles Krauthammer, syndicated columnist, put it best. A fine piece of jibberish.
That is a very nice way to not only say nothing, but also deny making a mistake along the way. When the mistake is all too obvious.
Of course, hindsight is 20/20, but Moran's question was set up with the "knowing what you now know" phrase.
So, this gets me to my point. And I wanted to present my evidence, this latest round of evidence at least, to back up my point.
The reason why Democrats like Barack Obama so much? He is THEIR George W. Bush.
OK, so he may be a little more articulate. But like W., he says nothing.
And like W., he doesn't make mistakes. Just ask him. Terry Moran did.

The New York Times.
The standard bearer of news. You know, all the news that is fit to print.
Unless, of course, it is an Op-Ed piece by a Republican Presidential candidate apparently.

Ignorant fool with all of the sincerity of Bill Clinton.
Over diagnosed? It is possible, but his initial statements were simply stupid.

Have a GREAT Tuesday.
