Obama the Eloquent
see


Last night Obama had to field an off-the-cuff question from ABC News: "If you had it to do over again, knowing what you know now, would you support the surge?"

Quote:
"No, because keep in mind that question, you wouldn't ... but keep in mind that kind of hypothetical is very difficult to know hindsight is 20-20 ... later ... but I think that what I'm absolutely convinced of is that at that time we had to change the political debate because the view of the Bush administration at that time was one that I just disagreed with."

The guess the old argument that people are just mesmerized by his eloquence is false, huh?

Re: Obama the Eloquent
Sooo in other words he didn't support the surge because Bush asked for it...I believe they call that towing the party line..not what a leader is supposed to do.
