Last week the Democrats/Liberals went after Senator Obama on his decision on FISA, after realizing what the Obama strategy is, they have backed off somewhat.

Now the McCain camps goes after Obama because he hopes to ‘refine’ his policy on Iraq– determine withdrawal, should he become president, probably not in 16 months, but 20 months. What’s wrong with that? Does any of his critics really understand the difference between ‘refine’ and re-define?

On this presumed flip-flop– given what one needs to hear about stimulating the economy, ‘a tempest in a tea pot.’

    Keith, I know you hardly want to believe it but.. the bill passed and not for the reason you think.

    We are still at ‘war’ and in time there will be another president– who will do the right thing.

    Refine does not mean re-define.Senator OBama wants to show at least, that he has the guts to make changes if same are warranted after taking a hard look at the facts.It takes a upright person and one of integrity to make changes so with that said horrah for Senator OBama.
