Captain Bullshit:

If you had to do it over again, knowing what you know now, would you — would you support the surge?”

Obama: “No, because — keep in mind that -”\

Moran: “You wouldn’t?”

Obama: “Well, no, keep — these kinds of hypotheticals are very difficult . Hindsight is 20/20. I think what I am absolutely convinced of is that at that time, we had to change the political debate, because the view of the Bush administration at that time was one that I just disagreed with.”

Just to clarify, the statement "hindsight is 20/20" is generally describing the results of hindsight bias, which is the the inclination to see events that have occurred as more predictable than they in fact were before they took place. This allows a person looking back at an event to state with great confidence what the correct decision should have been even though they may not have had the resources to make that decision at the time

Unfortunately, Obama's refusal to reevaluate his decision on the surge calls this entire theory into jeopardy. It is obvious that the surge was, in fact, the correct decision at the time and remains so with hindsight thrown in. Millions of lives have been enriched and protected by the brave, unpopular decision of a lameduck president. A true leader would have the confidence and honesty to admit he was wrong but apparently the Messiah is incapable of admitting his mistakes.

Obviously, Obama's hindsight is closer to 20/1000. That's legally blind.

Update: Another one...

Let me be absolutely clear," Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, said today at a press conference in Amman, Jordan. "Israel is a strong friend of Israel's. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under a McCain...administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change.

I know that internal consistency isn't really the left's thing but how can they simultaneously hail Obama as a genius while using every Bush gaffe as proof of his idiocy? My head would explode from the contradictions.
