"The President is following in the footsteps of his predecessor by sneaking into Iraq...

[jenmito]

but also by trying to rally the troops. He's not an anti-war candidate anymore. Now, he's the Commander in Chief."-Ed Henry just now on CNN before showing video of Obama's visit to Baghdad and the troops. So, he's FOLLOWING BUSH as if he wouldn't have visited the troops if Bush hadn't done so? And since when was he an "anti-war candidate"? :eyes:

1. CNN, the best political team on television

bastards.

[Cha]

2. Fuck edhenry..slimey little

prick.

[JayMusgrove]

3. Thanks, I'm glad I missed Ed. Can we call him"special Ed" from

now on? Because he think's he is "special"

[jenmito]

5. I just wanted to hear what he'd say one time. I won't listen to him anymore since I

know what to expect. "Special Ed" was the name of a rapper about 20 years or so ago so it might make him seem too cool. :D

[Thrill]

4. The sad thing is it appears, FOX has the best WH correspondent. Major Garrett doesn't do this bs

Who would of thought Fox could claim that honor. But major is fair and doesn't have ridiculous questions. I can't believe NBC and CNN picked those two bozos.

[jenmito]

7. That may be true. Also,

they're the only network that covered Obama's entire speech LIVE in Prague.

[masuki bance]

6. He was anti-war during the campaign.

[Occam Bandage]

8. To the exact same extent he is now. nt

[jenmito]

11. Exactly. He said he is NOT against all wars-just against "dumb wars."

[jenmito]

9. No he wasn't. Kucinich was.

[Thrill]

12. No he never was. He made that clear several times

He was against the Iraq War.

[PolNewf]

14. He was never anti-war

FFS people need to listen to Obama, the man has been consistent on this for over 6 years. http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Barack_Obama's_Iraq_Speech

Good afternoon. Let me begin by saying that although this has been billed as an anti-war rally, I stand before you as someone who is not opposed to war in all circumstances.

I don’t oppose all wars.

I don’t oppose all wars. And I know that in this crowd today, there is no shortage of patriots, or of patriotism. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other arm-chair, weekend warriors in this Administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne.

What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks like Karl Rove to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in the poverty rate, a drop in the median income — to distract us from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression.

That’s what I’m opposed to. A dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics.

[Renew Deal]

16. That's just not true.

Sorry.

[babylonsister]

10. It's a live war zone, what does Henry expect? And he seems to

still be smarting from his ill-advised pushing of the prez during the last presser, who pushed back, making Henry the laughingstock he richly deserved.

[jenmito]

13. Exactly. If Bush hadn't "snuck in," I'm sure Obama would've announced the time

and place of his arrival. :eyes:

[NatBurner]

15. ed henry should think about quitting

every since he got cock-smacked by obama on national tv (and 100,000 hits on youtube), he can't say anything without seeming like a bitter, stalkery ex-girlfriend

poor, dumb bastard

[Renew Deal]

17. Yes, because Bush announced it and came in on an airplane with red, white, blue streams trailing

:dunce:
