“The surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated,” Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee, said in a recorded interview broadcast tonight on Fox Newss “The O’Reilly Factor” program.

 

Actually Obama, what has happened after the surge is exactly what McCain said would happen.  It seems that somebody did anticipate this.  Your first shot at foreign policy and your 0 for 1. Well if you don’t believe me then how about this from Obama.

Obama today defended his opposition to the surge when pressed by O’Reilly to say he was “wrong.”

 

When pressed as to whether, if elected, he would prepare for possible use of military force against Iran, Obama, who has repeatedly called for greater diplomatic efforts with Iran, said it wouldn’t be “appropriate” for someone who might become president to start “tipping their hand in terms of what their plans might be with respect” to the country.

 

Correct me if I am wrong but didn’t McCain say that Obama should not be laying out his plans about hostile countries months ago?  It seems to me that if Obama really thought he needed a VP that has foreign policy experience he should have asked McCain to be his running mate since he is the one creating Obama’s policy.

 

Once again Obama has shown that his only talent is behind a teleprompter.  Left to his own devices he seems to fail every time in any situation that is even moderately tough.  This was proven at Saddleback and now with O’Reilly.  Well we have to give him credit, based on this interview I think he is really starting to understand who really has what it takes to be President.

 

Senator McCain now has a powerful, smart, and energetic running mate.  He has shown he has the experience to lead.  He has shown well laid out policies.  He has proven that he has everything it takes to be a solid and effective President of the United States.  McCain is the perfect guidance system and Palin is a hell of an engine.  It’s now a straight shot to the White House.

 

Obama and what’s his name in ’08?  I hardly think so.

In Saddleback, instead of being in a “cone of silence”, McCain was listening to Obama’s questioning on a Blackberry in his motorcade with his advisors present. He was able to answer the questions before they were even finished being asked.

Obama’s interview by O’Reilly looked pretty good to me.
