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.
