Think Obama can wait til 2012 to dump Biden?
The Hill reports that Vice President Joe “Gaffetastic” Biden had some kind words for President Bush on Stephen Colbert’s show last night on the issue of Iraq:
Dear Mr. President: I appreciate your concerns for troop welfare, but …
In an interview this morning that aired on ABC’s Good Morning America, President Obama weighed in on the controversy surrounding the Florida church that plans to burn the Koran on 9/11:
Reid: My “Iraq war is lost” comments are what helped turn Iraq around
Stop the spinsanity – please!
He speaks for me
At Power Line, Paul Mirengoff quotes a letter from a reader about President Obama’s refusal to give President Bush the credit he deserves for the Iraq surge, which turned a deteriorating war effort there into victory. I want to republish a portion below, because it nearly perfectly summarizes my contempt for the national Democrats and their leftist allies for their conduct during the Iraq campaign:
Don’t ever complain to me about the money spent on Iraq, again
For years –years!– under George W. Bush, the Democrats and their Leftist allies cried rivers of crocodile tears over the money being spent to first liberate, then stabilize that land. They claimed so often and so loudly to be worried about the debts incurred and the deficits run, that they convinced the electorate that they would actually be better stewards of the public’s money, and partly for that were given control of Congress in 2006.
Obama’s Iraq address: Will you watch it?
I’m still deciding as to whether or not to watch the President’s scheduled address to the nation tonight on the issue of the end to combat operations in Iraq. My hesitation revolves around the fact that I just can’t get over/move beyond how this President – both as a Senator and as a candidate for President, and our Vice President – both as a Senator and as a candidate for President, repeatedly denigrated the mission in Iraq, declared the war “lost,” adamantly opposed the surge even after knowing about its successes, essentially said our troops lives had been “wasted” for a lie, and insinuated time and time again that the Commander in Chief was “opposed to the rule of law” when it came to aggressive interrogation techniques.
