Obama was for the Bridge to Nowhere before he was for it.

Like I was sayin… people in glass houses…

The Obama campaign has been making a lot of noise recently about Gov. Palin’s support for the infamous bridge to nowhere before seeing the light and taking a stand against it.

The interesting thing is that both Senators Obama and Biden were for it even when given a chance to shift the funds from the bridge to Katrina relief.  Why on earth would the Obama campaign be pushing this story when they can be tied to being for it and even voted to keep it when given the chance to move the funds to help the victims of hurricane Katrina?

Given that most of the media won’t put this information out there, I believe that the Obama campaign believes that they won’t be called on it.  It will be interesting to see what the discussion happens in all the blogs.

Democrats Start New PR Campaign Ahead of Iraq Report

(April 5, 2008) – Like I was saying… some people are very predictable.  With Gen. Petraeus due to deliver a report next week, the dems are ratcheting up the “all is lost message” again.

Just like last year, the dems are starting their PR campaign ahead of a report from the commanding general in Iraq.  Last year, the message was that regardless of what the general says, things aren’t getting any better and the “surge” has failed.

This year, the message is that even though security has dramatically improved the surge is still a failure since the objective was to stabalize security so that the political process can have a chance.  So the new message is that the surge has failed since they way dems define the objective was to provide security AND have everything resolved on the political front.

This week, Sen Joe Biden started to rebutt next weeks testimony by Petraeus.

“The purpose of the surge was to bring violence in Iraq down so that its leaders could come together politically,” said Biden, D-Del., in this week’s Democratic radio address. “Violence has come down, but the Iraqis have not come together.”

As I have posted before, the dems need things to fail in Iraq to improve their quest to gain the whitehouse and increase their numbers in congress.

It is one thing to oppose the war, but it is another to hope for American failure to score political points.  I imagine that we will see more headlines about the dems pushing the failure message in an attempt to counter any positive results the general might highlight.
