Moveon.org has composed an excellent video highlighting the moving goal posts in the Iraq war. No matter what happens we hear that the surge is working and that they only need 6 more months from the Bush/McCain crew. Very nicely done but I would have liked to see them pay attention to all the times we have “turned the corner” in Iraq. Of course there is only so much time for a video like this and General Petraeus pretty much killed that catch phrase when he said “We haven’t turned any corners. We haven’t seen any lights at the end of the tunnel.” the other day.

You know the problem with buying anything on an installment plan is that you end up paying way more than its worth and by the time you own it the thing is broken and worthless. I say we return it and cut our losses while we still can.
Obama’s close connections to truly ugly people like Rev Wright and William Ayres make this post really hard to tale seriously.
Haha, how did all that change, honor, and dignity work out for you?
Insurance reform instead of health care reform, spiraling deficits for stimulus packages that didn’t work, a “jobless recovery”, Gitmo alive and well continuing to stain our honor, and having elected the first President in history to order the extrajudicial execution of a US citizen (while having his Justice Department block the family’s repeated entreaties to have the government make a case against him [al-Awlaki]).
Go ahead, blame it all on “that other party” and “the previous President”, but ask yourself this: given your experience with his leadership, are you planning to campaign as hard for him this time around? Going to donate like you did last time?
