are you serious?

because someone actually wants to THINK about something instead of sticking to a simple speaking point, it makes him a "flip-flopper"? you're killing me, media. in general, the media kills me. they make such a point of every stupid thing that happens in the world that it makes it difficult to tell when something that is actually significant does happen. especially if you're dumb. stupid people have a much harder time deciphering the messages that the media sends to them and so they get stuck thinking that Iraq had something to do with 9-11 and that Obama is a Muslim (as if that's a bad thing...don't get me started). For those with a brain, it's just simply frustrating and annoying to hear urgent news reports about insignificant crap -Oh, Hillary and Obama are taking off the gloves...McCain accuses Obama of Flip-Flopping...Cheney almost kills some guy with a shotgun- wait, OK that last one was significant, but you get the point. i just heard the little grab-line on the news last night about Obama being accused of Flip-flopping, but i couldn't wait the 2 hours for them to get to that story because i wanted to watch the Olympic trials (which are actually significant and inspiring and positive), so i opened the paper this morning and looked for that article- thinking that it might be something significant. SURPRISE!! i was wrong. and this is one of the things i love about Obama- he seems to be as annoyed as anyone about how the media portrays things like this. he logically breaks things down and shows you how ridiculous it is instead of playing into the political game like every other politician i have ever seen (including the ones i have liked). he simply states that he has not changed the withdrawal timeline and that when he gets into the oval office, he will give the Joint Chiefs of Staff a new mission- and that will be a deliberate, decisive withdrawal from Iraq along a timeline in the best manner possible to keep our troops still save. the guy is brilliant- especially in his foresight of the talking points that the republicans will likely use against him. but he is clear that he is maintaining his position and he's clear that he is concerned with the troop safety and a stable Iraq. How can anyone be in favor of staying in Iraq for 100 years over that idea?
