Obama loses his bearings…

Power Line

There is occasionally an improvised quality to Barack Obama’s critique of the conduct of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He sometimes seems to be making up his critique as he goes along. This improvised quality comes through clearly in…

Hey! You have to stop criticizing Obama.
You know what you get labeled as if you criticize
America’s first Arab (not black) candidate.
The R-word.
Feel guilty America. Feel very guilty. In all 57 states.
Maybe that will make the punk-kid get elected.

Obama Goofs On Iraq And Afghanistan…

Let me see if I have this right: Arabic translators deployed in Iraq are needed in Afghanistan, even though Afghans don’t speak Arabic and the only people speaking Arabic in Afghanistan are the people shooting at NATO troops; agricultural specialists …

Obama’s rhetoric calls into question whether he has any real knowledge of the issues in either Iraq or Afghanistan in any depth beyond that of the latest MoveOn talking points.

I don’t think so.
he’s out campaigning and not doing his job in the senate..

even so he has no real experience. all total what 3 years?

get serious.

The longer Hilldog stays in the race, the more gaffes from BO. He’s wearing down and she’s waiting to pounce. Bo is one major blunder away from blowing the nomination.

Obama’s rhetoric calls into question whether he has any real knowledge of the issues in either Iraq or Afghanistan in any depth beyond that of the latest MoveOn talking points.

What do you expect? Obama's only experience (outside his brief political career) is that of part-time constitutional law professor (where there is no such thing as "real knowledge") and associate attorney who only drafted briefs and worked on minor cases (from '93 to '02 - never even became a partner). Oh yeah, he also served as a board member of the Woods Fund with Billy Ayres during that same time period (tons of experience there).

My 11 year old daughter likes “plinking” on the piano. I told her that all she needs to do is to learn a few chords and she can fake anyone out. That seems to fit Obama to a T. Learn a few “chords, find out what tickles people’s ears, then, with slight variations, keep playing the same chords over and over. And before you know it the dummys are chanting, “WOW! That Obama shoooor knows his stuff!”
