Obama pulled a Kerry

Looks like Barrack Obama pulled a John Kerry this past week while speaking about our troops in Iraq. If you remember a few months ago, John Kerry made a statement referencing the lack of intelligence of our brave troops. He since apologized, claiming he was the victim of a botched joke attempt.

A New Hampshire reporter asked Mr. Obama whether he regretted the remark, made at a rally on Sunday that “we ended up launching a war that should have never been authorized and should have never been waged, and to which we now have spent $400 billion and have seen over 3,000 lives of the bravest young Americans wasted.”

“Even as I said it,” Mr. Obama said Monday, “I realized I had misspoken.”

“What I would say — and meant to say — is that their service hasn’t been honored,” Mr. Obama told reporters in Nashua, N.H.

The NY Times reported the incident on 2/13/2007.

I thought B. Hussein Osama was the Democratic answer, and you're one of the biggest D's I know. Please don't tell me you're throwing your hat into the Billary bandwagon. Or are you still holding out hope that Al Bore will run again.

(Wondering if I could come up with any more derogatory play on words with candidate's names...)

Oh no. I'd vote for McCain before voting for Hillary. Hell, I'd write in Jesse Ventura before voting for her. As of now, I have no doubt I'd vote for Obama.
