Wow, has everyone pretty much stopped hyperventilating over the Afghan "surge" already?
Damn I expected this drama to go on for several days at least. Less than 24 hours after the announcement and we are back to discussing Log Cabin Republicans and other nonsense. I can't believe it.

You got to hand to President Obama. He can do this stuff with the minimum amount of uproar. I can't figure out how he does it. But he does it.

Magic Man.

2. Some still have pitchers of reserved Kool-Aid but thankfully it is drying up.

3. It's obvious we have NO POWER to make him "change" his mind, unless...
unless his approval ratings end down nearing bu$h's marks because of it, and then make him reconsider this momentary blunder.

Not something I would have had ever wish to happen but, since he said he would "listen" to what we think, what other option do we have.

If 65% (or more) were to say the country is on the wrong track, unfortunately, that may be all that's necessary.

But then, it will be too late for how many more un-necessary dead bodies??

4. If you think the uproar is minimal....
Wait until his base deserts him and his approval rantings tank. Don't underestimate the depth of the 'uproar'.
