WASHINGTON (SR) - Just a day after committing an additional 30,000 troops to the war in Afghanistan, President Obama is moving to quell the resulting outrage from the anti-war left that helped put him into office.
"Look, I'm only sending 75% of the number of troops it'd take to actually win, and I told our enemies when we're leaving," Obama told reporters this morning, "This is hardly supporting a war."
From the Daily Kos to NBC, many left wing pundits claim Obama has gone back on his campaign promises to lose the war, and MSNBC's Chris Matthews even faulted the President for giving the address at what he called "the enemy camp," referring to West Point. Matthews later backtracked on the controversial comment, saying he misspoke and meant to call the famous institution "the enemy academy."
My comments: That's great; it only took Barry twelve months to go from messiah to universally despised douche - a new record! Let's toast his success with a delicious margarita!
