Even Obama admitted he was wrong on Iraq and he has been schooled by Michael Moore for 20 months now.
How damn long is it going to take for Obama to learn at least something?
Say what? Obama hasn't been wrong on every single issue. You might want to take time to look up his actual record. Heck, even Bill O'Reilly gave him credit the other night for being right on Iraq. Now he was wrong on the surge (though the surge is something that will continue to be debated for a long time) but he was right on the bigger issue of Iraq to begin with - amongst other issues.

That is not a fact, it is an opinion. From where I sit as an independent who is looking at both sides shaking my head, the majority of Dems are laughing at her and McCain both. Panic? Not in the least despite what Reps like to tell themselves. In fact, if anything they aren't taking her seriously enough.

Hugin - Get thee away from CNN, Fox and the blogs that like to think of themselves as intellectual webzine psuedo news men. I still don't feel like I know who Obama is but the man has done the circuit of shows for years now sans cherry picking questions. George Stephanopoulus is a good example of that. George is quite obviously not a fan of Obama and every time Obama's been on George has asked him hard hitting questions and questioned the majority of his answers.

She is in special training on how to lie without moving her lips, this is hard to do but most republicans do it all the time. She’ll learn ~ just give her a few days.

Thursday, May 01, 2003
KABUL, Afghanistan — In an announcement marking a major victory in America's ongoing war on terror, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld declared Thursday that "major combat activity" has ended in Afghanistan. Later in the day, from aboard an aircraft carrier in the Pacific Ocean, President Bush planned to announce that military combat is over in Iraq.

A Bush administration source told Fox News that Bush's "compact" address to the nation from aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln (search) will be "not too far short of a victory statement."
Rumsfeld, seeking to reassure allies jittery about reconstruction and humanitarian efforts, made his announcement in a joint news conference with Afghan President Hamid Karzai (search) in Kabul.


He opened the news conference with the good news: "We're at a point where we clearly have moved from major combat activity to a period of stability and stabilization and reconstruction activities."

She's not talking because she is NOT READY to take questions about things. She's GREEN and the campaign probably doesn't trust her to talk off the cuff
