Karl Rove's Job Getting Easier by the Word.

Posted July 4th, 2008 by Jailhouse Author

FARGO, N.D. -- Barack Obama struggled Thursday to explain his plan to end the war in Iraq, calling a rare do-over news conference to insist that he was not softening his campaign pledge to withdraw all combat troops within 16 months of becoming president.

"That position has not changed. I have not equivocated on that position. I have not searched for maneuvering room with respect to that position," he said. – LAT

It's amazing how Democratic presidential candidates keep making the same mistake over and over again of trying to be all things to all people. These fence-walking, see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil tactics cost both Gore and Kerry the elections. Obama started out saying he'd bring the troops home and end the war. Now that the slaughtering has stopped for a few days, he's trying to create some wiggle room only to make himself look weak. That's like manna from heaven to the McCain campaign now in the hands of ruthless Karl Rove.

Instead of embracing the absolute truth about the impostor, John McCain, as told by one who knows him well, Gen Wesley Clark, Obama ran from the truth and left a real hero to stand alone. Karl Rove was right in his comparison of Obama to Jimmy Carter. The Fundamentalist Carter wanted to be everyone's friend and ended up getting crucified.

I had high hopes for Obama, but he's looking weaker and weaker as the days goes by. This chance of having a Democratic-controlled Congress and Oval Office was not earned by anything the Democrats have done, but by what the habitual lying, mass murderer George W. Bush has done. It'll not be an easy election to lose, Obama, but you can do it if you keep giving Karl Rove nails to hang his picture of you as being an all-talk and no substance candidate. Karl Rove's job is getting easier by the word.
