Why didn't Klein ask about the anticipated international crises Biden let slip is coming 3:00 AM the day after Obama's in office? Why didn't he ask what incredibly unpopular response he's made a decision to pursue already? Biden let us know about that too. If he wasn't gonna ask those hard questions, why not simply ask who vetted Biden? ------------------------------ The interview was horseshit. Obama doesn't know or care anything about strategy. He is driven by domestic leftwing politics and to him a foreign defeat for the US is a GOOD thing. after he had presented an array of maps and charts and PowerPoint slides describing the current situation on the ground in great detail, Petraeus closed with a vigorous plea for "maximum flexibility" going forward. Obama had a choice at that moment. He could thank Petraeus for the briefing and promise to take his views "under advisement." Or he could tell Petraeus what he really thought, a potentially contentious course of action — especially with a general not used to being confronted. Obama chose to speak his mind. "You know, if I were in your shoes, I would be making the exact same argument," he began. "Your job is to succeed in Iraq on as favorable terms as we can get. But my job as a potential Commander in Chief is to view your counsel and interests through the prism of our overall national security." ... Obama's perspective was, necessarily, going to be more strategic. More horseshit: the financial crisis — it was Obama's gut steadiness Obama ignored the financial crisis, voting only because it would look bad not to. Considering his close associations with people who created the mess, that makes sense. And more : how to react when incendiary videos of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's black-nationalist sermons surfaced last spring. "The decision to make it big as opposed to make it small," Obama said of the landmark speech on race relations he delivered in Philadelphia. "My gut was telling me that this was a teachable moment He never addressed why he had been associated with an America hating fanatic like Wright for so long. He just lied about what he knew about Wright. In fact, it was Wright's radical views which ATTRACTED Obama to him.
