Over a year ago while debating McCain, Obama mentioned Iraq's surplus

[Winterblues]

He mentioned it way back when as one of the very first things he would do to cut expenses. He said back then that it was costing the USA ten billion dollars a month and Iraq had a 79 billion dollar surplus. I just heard Obama say the exact same thing. Over a year gone by and he is still using this as an example of how he will cut costs...Am I missing something here? :shrug:
