General ...
I see Senator Obama falling apart a little bit, and to me it started when he fell in with various media interests on the issue of Senator McCain saying he didn't understand economics. Senator McCain's words are part of public record, one trip to youTube will get you all you need to hear. What he actually said was he knew less about the economy than he did about the military and foreign policy, and still needed to be educated ... and in another instance admitted that he wasn't an expert on Wall Street. Both are considerably different than a general lack of understanding about the economy.
Of course, Senator McCain's sorry defense of himself on this matter, had him falling apart right from the start. Why not just show the clips and say ... "Knowing less about something, doesn't mean you know nothing at all ... and we ALL need more education ... and there is more to the economy than Wall Street!" Sort of makes you wonder how he will do in discussions with other world leaders.
On topic, much of what we hear about the situation today, backs up the thoughts of someone very close to me, that insisted the surge would decrease violence substantually, given time ... and that if the powers that be would have listened to their generals and sent enough troops early on to secure the Iranian border, this would all be over by now. That of course isn't justification for the war ... there is no justification for the war ... but it is, what it is.
Senator Obama spinning like a top on his position as it relates to the surge, also is what it is .. .sadly.
Still not voting for McCain. [;)]
