I would just like to remind people

[bluestateguy]

that John "McHundred" would have had us in Iraq for another 100 years.

There are plenty of reasons to criticize Obama, but to say he is no different than Bush or McCain lacks the facts.

1. I hate it when....

People call our president "Bush Lite"! :grr:

[calimary]

2. "John McHundred"!!!!!! ROFL!!!

OMG that is fantastic!!!!

:patriot:

[Skittles]

3. you know we are not completely leaving Iraq, right?

you do know that I hope

[TheKentuckian]

4. Yup, nothing till the last merc and ice cube tray is out

[Skittles]

7. it's worse than that

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

5. Yeah, we're leaving 50,000 support troops.

Just like we have in Germany.

You remember Germany, you served there back in the 80s, right?

Oh, the war stories you must have. Welcome home, soldier.

9. Several of my BR's are remaining. They ain't support troops by the way.

They are major league doorkickers.

10. the naivete of some DUers astounds me

[VMI Dem]

12. No military experience for most. Knowledge from TV and the interwebs.

Its pretty common.

[Skittles]

15. true

I'm a veteran, and I communicate via email with troops in Iraq and Afghanistan

[valerief]

13. The killing is supposed to end (for the most part) but the spending spree is going strong. nt

[lunatica]

6. We'd all be dancing the bomb,bomb,bomb Iraq dance right now

and VP Palin would be dancing the drill baby drill conga line.

Nope. Nothing similar to Obama. Nothing.

[patrice]

8. Agreed.

[elocs]

11. To say that Obama is not Bush or that he is simply better than Bush is not good enough for me.

That's a pretty low bar and I expected and expect far, far more from Obama than that. I want a bold and fearless leader who stands fast for the principles of the Democratic Party and not continually finding ways to make nice with Republicans who will take every concession given them, return nothing, and in the end say "no".
