Last November, Obama said the U.S. must make sure “we are not just willy-nilly removing troops” and that it may “take a little bit longer” in some areas where there is less stability.
Last March, Obama said he would listen to military commanders and give their opinions on Iraq great weight.
So now, when he says those things again, why are the presstitutes yammering that he's changed his position?
Obama suspects that the McCain people are behind it:
Democrat Barack Obama says he’s always been open to refining his Iraq policy but blamed Republican John McCain’s campaign for suggesting “we were changing our policy when we haven’t.”
And the esteemed members of the press wonder why we hate them.

Happy Independence Day!
We hate them because they suck.
Evenin’, everyone! The hamsters running our servers took the day off, so there was a slight change in plans.
Democracy marches forward! Or something….
Indeed. They ignore the real scandals and instead focus on ginned-up nonsense.
i heard they were holding out for more lettuce
So now, when he says those things again, why are the presstitutes yammering that he’s changed his position?—————–

why cause they would love to slobber McSames nob for 8 years,and KEEP THEIR EFFING TAX BREAKS on their multi million dollar salaries
Should we feed them?
To what? ;-)
Obama is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. So he should.
Yeah, and carrots. They like their carrots. Very very muchly.
Twisty… I like!
1776 on TCM now. If you’ve never seen it, it’s a gem. William Daniels playing Adams is priceless.
PW, I love the graphic.
The founding fathers realized that a free and independent press was the foundation of any democracy. Our modern corporate media have committed moral treason. There will be an accounting.
lots remember the stick but forget the carrots
oh, for a minute there I thought you were talking lime twists, you know to go with the Dos XX bber.
im watching
I watched 7 hours of Adams on HBO today. Abigail stole my heart.
I fucking hope so!
(((Hugs for you Dr.)))
Hey Suz, I napped today so I actually get to play tonight. I sooo miss hanging around Late Nites and 2x Late Nites
from 1776
“One useless man is called a disgrace, two are called a law firm and that three or more become a Congress.”
yup, that’s about right.
comfort the afflicted and AFFLICT the comfortable
nature is indiscriminate
hey ellie.. nice to see ya here in the dark
DrDick,
Yes, there damn well better be.
this one is considerably more fun. May not be as historically accurate, but still more fun. The music helps.
today was a washout. bummer.
Did get to listen to the neighbors set off firecrackers. Hope you -and everyone- had a tasty supper.
and I do look so much better there lol!!
I’m feeling extra large tonight! Could have been the bronto-ribeyes…
me too!
I really want Obama to call Charlie Gibson or Wolf Blitzer or Anderson Cooper on this very topic: “I won’t raise most people’s taxes, in fact I’ll lower them. But yours [insert celebrity media gasbag name here] I’ll raise, no doubt about it.” Right now, everyone hates the media gasbags, and he could score some authenticity points right there.
with teeth
TCM is always more fun, and gay. (This is a good thing!)
Stella?
We went to a couple of local vinyards for tastings and BBQ. The rain didn’t start until later. Somehow over the past week or two all of the storm fronts have floated by to the north or south of us. We’ve missed most of the rain.
Not celebrating anything today. Nothing to celebrate.
Obama really is getting screwed on this one (as opposed to his other “refinements”). Is it possible his campaign is setting up the “flip-flop” charge so that he can charge McSame (correctly) with the identical charge and get away with it as a response and not an attack?
Go Teddy!
and ole anal Rushbo will make nearly a cool 1/2 BILLION smakeroos for hate speach
PW, who is being a wooly baa-lamb about all this, was nice enough to take my slot because I got sucked in to doing research on my post for tonight.
Which will be up tomorrow, I think. Suffice it to say that Sen. Helms has a _lot_ of legacy in the McCain campaign…
A bit off topic, but hey this is late night. This is where I spent the morning. Helps renew my love of this country. Saw hardly a soul until afternoon.
hey julia…. looking forward to reading it tomorrrow.
And put sand in the vaseline.
Waiting with baited breath. ;)
Doh… the suspense, Julia.. the suspense! *g
agreed, altho I sure did appreciate Scarecrow and Christy’s post this morning. Went to bed last night depressed.
and super glue in the lube
Heavy sigh. Aaaahhhhh….
wow!
Hey, yeah, great graphic at the top. Thanks for calling my attention to it. I looked right over it.
They may as well go ahead and name 99.9% of the TV and radio stations WGOP or KGOP. It’s not like the FCC is gonna give a f**k.
Iraq is going to be a mess whether we stay or leave. So we should leave. That pottery barn rule really doesn’t work. The truth is no matter who broke it, it will be up to the people of Iraq because they live there and will still be living there long after we are gone to fix or break it further. The same thing could be said of us and our country.
never going to happen. I think his days of “authenticity” are behind him. He’s got the nomination sewn up and assumes our support so he’s telling us to STFU so he can try to woo people who are never going to vote for him anyway.
Feh.
How wonderful. This is why my son moved to Denver.
nice eye candy dr (pause) dick
Amen!
I can’t think of anything to add…
…’cept maybe razor blades.
word!
Always appreciate Scarecrow and Christy. Always.
gee, it sux to be you Dr *pause* Dick
hey, you.
It’s like watching gangrene crawl up your arm. You just can’t look away. Right now I’m reading an interview with the guy who made the Max Cleland/Osama ad, who talking about how Democrats resent him because he’s able to engage on the issues.
Happy Country, pups! We’re gonna need all the luck we can get.
Sweet dreams and happy pillows to all…
I kid you not, the other night I actually turned on my television and a Prime Time story,
was about the worlds smartest goldfish.
Kiss. My. Ass.
Yep. Nothing like getting a couple thousand feet above it all. The first picture does not really do justice to just how freaking vertical the trail is there (about a 45′ incline) - and for the two miles leading up to it.
or driving by that really bad accident and ya don’t wanna look but find yourself looking anyway
im thinking a lot today of the founding fathers,and doofus in cheif giving his speech at Monticello today,what a desecration of hallowed ground
I demand reparations from BushCo & CheneyCo. & ChalabiCo.
oh, hey, happy fourth.
Oh, damn, that’s too close. I’m causing rubbernecking delays on FDL.
you make it happier fer sure
Hey Wang! Happy 4th!
Anyone else having trouble with Digby’s site causing safari or Newsfire to hang? She’s got a video link that’s causing mayhem on my machine.
not at all julia :)
My son and his pals climbed a glacier last weekend, carrying all their skis, and then skied down the other side. Pics were so great!
And add in Dick Cheney in Boston on the USS Constitution, what a slap in the face that was.
link
It won’t load on Safari. Just OK and let it go, worked for me.
Happy Independence Day, everyone!
makes you kind of want to puke, huh?
Amazing the vessel did not spontaneously combust when he came aboard, given its name.
A second flood, a simple famine,
plagues of locusts everywhere,
or a cataclysmic earthquake,
I’d accept with some despair.
But no, You sent us Congress!
Good God, Sir, was that fair?
Loaded for me, and opened the video in QuickTime.
Dick Cheney always makes me want to puke.
aw. :D
Didn’t for me earlier. Different strokes… ;)
too bad his energizer keeps ticking
Wow! How did 80+ comments slip by…? Ooh, that’s right, my barbie was busy…! *g*
i think ill go catch the Zs…happy 4th all
So what’s on the barbie?
g’nite sadly
I give that bastard swimming lessons every day.
I only hope I live long enough to piss on his grave, if they bother marking it.
Night SY.
Hope you had a good time. Or are you still having it…?
Ipecac for dog-catcher!
My short ribs have finished and the burgers are sizzling, dawgs up next…! Nice to see the Lake up again…! *g*
At some point I am going to have to make a pilgrimage. Helms, Thurmond, Nixon, McCarthy, Cheney. The list just keeps growing.
There you are, where have you been?;)
yep, that or a lightening bolt to the bridge
Have a great feast! Don’t forget the veg and ice cream.
I found it mighty ironic that Mister ‘States Rights’ passed away on our B’day!
Wow. Thought I was the only person mean enough to piss on someone’s grave!
C!
Um, Ken?
I’ve been in the morning *g
But I napped this afternoon so I could play tonight!
Damn. Forgot Reagan. Suppose I should throw in Andy Jackson in honor of my son.
Pasta salad with Coleslaw…! ;-)
Get in line.
i’d wear red to that funeral
I am also an Okie.
Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on July 4th, 1826. Wow (I think).
Oh, Teddy, I’m sorry, I commented past you, and just got back - your Helms post is a thing of beauty.
Bet you’d look good! All ready for the big move?
Beautiful.
Yum, where is Betsy?
Yep. Saw it earlier. Within a few hours of each other. A sad day for America. Unlike today.
Adams’ last words were about Jefferson surviving - although (he had no way of knowing it) he’d died an hour before.
hell no… still gotta get through the contingencies period - had home and termite inspection yesterday- monday the septic system gets pumped and inspected - bet st joe is glad he is not there and still under the sign that now reads ’sale pending’
Didn’t John Quincy Adams also die on July 4 (different year, of course)?
dugg and thanks to eg for opening it
But all going well, no glitches (I hope)?
will find out if there are glitches when we get the inspection reports
Dugg! Thanks Suz & eg!
I have yet to visit Monticello, and feel pretty bad about how little of my country I’ve seen. I’ve been so fortunate to visit Europe all the time, due to business, but really need to see more of the United States of America. How about you?
buyer is bringing her relatives up tomorrow afternoon to see it so i gotta really clean it up tonight and make it shine and sparkle so they fall in love with it too
I don’t know.
