6. obama laughed and basically said he wasn't the first to ask that question

7. This was the plan. The corporate media was instructed to push this.

And it was expected. Was Obama prepared to answer it? I'm sure he was.

8. I was cracking up today when Brian WIlliams tried to steal

Obama's thunder by walking off with him as if he were part of the Obama camp. These hacks think they are the news. Poor GEM$NBC - they've spent gazillions on this trip looking for an Obama gaffe and it's not happening.

9. Saying the 'surge worked' is the same as saying Ethnic Cleansing worked

As best I can piece it together, what actually seems to have happened was that the escalation troops began by disarming the Sunni Arabs in Baghdad. Once these Sunnis were left helpless, the Shiite militias came in at night and ethnically cleansed them.

[DogPoundPup]

11. Cause McNBC and McABC and McCNN and McSoOnAndSoOn in the McMedia
