I don't understand the problem the left and Democrats are having tonight. He SAID Afghanistan was the goal during his campaign. I don't like war but if it has to happen, it does.
I am against the Iraq war. In my opinion, we never should have been there.
I knew going in that he had a huge pile of elephant poo to clean up after, Afghanistan being one piece of the dung. That's what he told us he was doing tonight.
I have no problem with my vote, and still do not, especially when I look at who my alternative was. Additionally, Obama always supported the Afghanistan war, moreso that I do, so that has not changed from his campaign either.
Has there been things Obama has done that have been disappointing? Absolutely, but I sure as hell don't wish I could go back in time and vote for McCain/Palin instead.
I know it is popular for the right to ask 'don't you regret voting for Obama, don't you wish you could go back and change your vote?' the moment he does something disappointing. I can only assume it is because they have some collective delusion that those on the left will suddenly become rabid right-wingers the moment Obama does something they don't like. It is a delusion that I've never understood, and it is false.
I voted for Obama, but am not happy with his decisions thus far. I think he's in over his head, and what's more worrying, he doesn't seem to know what he doesn't know. That's frightening. And he has selected weak staff members. But I didn't want McCain. I just had higher hopes for Obama. He wasn't ready for this role yet, IMO.
