Keep in mind the grilling George Bush got at a press conference where he was pushed by reported to say what his biggest mistake. President Bush refused to answer the question because he knew it would be used as a political tool against him. Because he refused to admit any mistakes in a press conference, Bush was portrayed by the media as stubborn and arrogant.

Fast forward to now. “The Surge” has worked and even the press admits it. Barack Obame said that “The Surge” would not work and would make matters worse. Will he now admit he was wrong?

Here is the transcript of the shocking interview of Barack Obama by ABC’s Terry Moran (link):

TM: If you had to do it over again knowing what you know now.

BO:No, because keep in mind

TM: You Wouldn’t

BO: stuttering…these hypotheticals are very difficult. Hind sight is 20-20. But I think that..What I am absolutely convinced of is that at that time we had to change the political debate because view of the Bush administration is one that I just disagree with.

What he is saying is that “The Surge” worked in Iraq, but I oppose it now and would not repeat it even though it has been successful. He would however surge troops into Afghanistan…even though Al-Queda is in Pakistan.

It is more important to Barack Obama to defeat George Bush than it is to defeat Al-Queda in Iraq. It’s ALL about politics with this guy. What would a President Obama do without a George Bush policy to be against?
