Unless he wanted this story out----it was not wise of him to let this memo in plain view of reporters.

Enough About Iraq -- Let's Talk About Me

Presidential politics are never far from the congressional debate on Iraq. As Gen. David Petraeus testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee yesterday, the two merged into a seamless whole.

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), a presidential contender, took his seat on the dais in the Hart Senate Office Building, popped a piece of Nicorette gum into his mouth, opened a green folder and began reading a memo, partially visible to reporters behind him. It said:


To: Barack

From: Ben & Denis

Date: September 11, 2007

Re: Iraq Speech -- Differences

As you get ready for press around your speech on Iraq, we wanted to make sure you have on one piece of paper the principle differences between your speech on Iraq and the most comprehensive on Iraq given by Senator Clinton.

It further reminded Obama that "you argue that by withdrawing 1-2 combat brigades a month you can get all those units out by the end of next year (2008)."

1. WTF do you see wrong with that?

Obaba is not allowed to carry a notebook?

Thanks for posting a media whore's attempt to make the Iraq hearings seem politically motivated.

2. And he is *such* a whore...

I hope it's the brass at NBC forcing Olbermann to have that toady on... I hope Keith's aware of how awful Dana is.
