Obama will find he hit a "Kerry" moment that no explanations will ever undo.

Be careful. You're starting to think for yourself.

Obama told a campaign trail crowd in Iowa on Sunday that the nation’s Iraq war dead were lives “wasted” but immediately claimed a “slip of the tongue.”

I hate when that happens. I remember during my first marriage when I wanted my exwife to pass the salt. I said "You GD b----, you've destroyed my life" when all I wanted was the salt. I hate it when that happens.

"If he truly believes that the campaign in Iraq is wrong and harmful to the US, then "wasted" would be the correct term in the sense that they died for no good reason (in Obama's opinion) and deserved better."



Valid point, my friend. This needs broadcasting.

"They (the Dems that oppose)all are saying the "wasted" word
It is usually said, "They (our troops) have died for nothing." Think of that when they claim to want them all to come home."

I wonder what the number of Democratic voters would be among the 3,000 soldiers who have died? Every soldier that dies over there improves their odds.

That photo of Obama-Lincoln isn't funny. Lincoln was a respectable Republican.

Q for Senator Obama:

Wouldn't prematurely withdrawing from Iraq as you propose turn our soldiers' sacrifices into waste?

These slips are a window into Obama's true feelings.
