Sen. Barack Obama gave a press conference this morning and stumbled around and made absolutely no sense. But that's not what I found interesting today.
This morning, in a background briefing, reporters jousted with the campaign's senior advisers on the characterization of Obama’s Victory Column speech in Berlin Thursday as a campaign rally. They quibbled on what is and what isn't a political speech. (Since Obama is running for president, what else could it be since they expect thousands of people to attend?)
“It is not going to be a political speech,” said an Obama foreign policy adviser, who spoke to reporters on background. “When the president of the United States goes and gives a speech, it is not a political speech or a political rally.
A reporter had to remind the Obama advisor, “But he is not president of the United States.”
The last time I checked, George W. Bush is president of the United States until January 20, 2009.
Now the campaign and surrogates are saying that the surge in Iraq "isn't important." They refuse to concede that the surge worked and it was due to its success that Obama was able to travel safely through Iraq. Obama opposed the surge from the beginning and resuses to admit he was wrong.
He credited everything else except for the successful efforts of the military.
"I have no doubts about my ability to apply sound judgment," Obama said. That's not very comforting.
