Yup, lots of people voted for Obama because they MISTAKENLY misunderstood what he said. The thought he said he would reduce troops and pull them out.

What he actually said was that we would pull out troops out when we can, but we were committed to finishing the job. He said the same thing that McCain said, but just used different words and different emphasis. Basically he confused the simple people by delivering a obscured message, those of us who cut through the bull heard his message loud and clear.

Well we are now increasing troop strength. Something I expected.

Remember this (one of many) broken promises?

BTW we are up to 190 soldiers killed since the 'chosen one' Barrack Hussein Obama has taken office on 1-20-2009. The list climbs every day.

Not defending BO, but how many politicians have ever kept even a 1/4 of their campaign promises. I've always reminded myself they're all like car salesmen, the only time they aren't lieing is when their lips aren't moving.

Mike, I agree with you, but one thing that I hear (still hear it) from Obama supporters is how he said he was going to pull out and bring the troops home. Many seemingly voted for him largely on that one issue.

Bob, the only time Obama is really going to make "the news", is when he decides to actually do the things he's promised and tell the truth.. for a change.
