Obama took such a hit for us last night. Going up against... ummm... us... to announce more war. And then we shit all over him.
Luckily, we know he made the right decision because.
Karl Rove:
President Barack Obama's speech on Tuesday night deserves to be cheered. Over the objections of his vice president and despite opposition from his political base, the president is sending an additional 30,000 troops to Afghanistan to fight terrorists.
And you know how Karl is always right. So I feel comfort in knowing that the decision for more war gets the Turd Blossom stamp of approval.
And then there is the lovely and talented
Liz Cheney:
"I support President Obama's decision to send additional troops to Afghanistan to defeat the enemy. (I took out the part where she gripes about how long the decision took and a timeline being wrong. Liz is never happy.) Afghanistan is a necessary war that must be won. America's military men and women are the best the world has ever known and I have no doubt they can do what is necessary to take this fight to the enemy and win."
And you know how Liz is always right. So I feel comfort in knowing that our President did right by her.
Next we come to
Newt Gingrich:
"For a left-wing Democratic president, supported by the most liberal people in America, to go to West Point and stand before the cadets and commit to what needs to be done in Afghanistan - that showed some courage," Gingrich said. "He put the country ahead of the interests of his political allies and did what was right."
Well, we all know that Gingrich = Genius. So I'm really happy Obama's decision to add more troops to Afghanistan is approved by such a smart politician. Gingrich is really sharp to see that Obama put the country first -- ahead of all those worry-wart Democrats and wanna-lose Progressives.
Plus, I'm reassured to know after reading so many comments here today, that I'm on the right side if I just have Obama's back. It is so nice to not have to think about anything after 8 years of all that reading and thinking I had to do with that idiot Bush in office. Nice to be able to just sit back and know that it's all taken care of by one smart man... and his staff... and some generals...and lobbyist... anyways, I regress.
Lastly, you know that you are on the right side when people like Jim Hightower, Robert Borosage and Michael Brenner are in disagreement with you. Those guys just like to throw cold water on a hot war. What's wrong with them! They don't love America like Karl Rove does... that's for sure. Purity Trolls, the lot of em. And Rachel Maddow. She just goes back and forth being all ambivilanty and what not. How are we supposed to know we can trust her judgement if she doesn't tell us Obama made the right decision?
I'm sorry to see the split here at DKos today. Seems like some people just want to be mean and stab Obama in the back and give the terrorists the upper hand and shit on everything.
Luckily, I was blessed with a good nature. And I say we should all get along, "Live and let live."
Now lets go kill us some evil doers.
