Engaging in a little political “policy cleansing,” Obama has executed a “Surge Purge” from his website. [At least it wasn't "ethnic cleansing." - ed. Perish the thought.] Oh, well – tempus fugit, as they say. What’s a candidate to do in the endless campaign? One thing, of course, is to keep the media on his side well brow-beating the electorate with self-serving nonsense. Obama seems particularly good at this. But time may be running out on him. What is on his side, however, is the continually tanking economy, which seems to be tied to our gas tanks, even as the prcie of oil bounces around like a Spaldeen’ from my childhood. No president may have in his power to grab hold of this endless bouncing ball, but this won’t stop Obama from exploiting the situation, at the same time intoning the pieties about the ills of drilling. Go figure.
“…at the same time intoning the pieties about the ills of drilling.”
The American public is no longer being conned by the radical environmentalists. God help the any Democratic Party politician who dares stand in the way. Election Day 2008 will be their day of reckoning. The next few weeks should be very interesting.

Is Bob Shrum running Obamarx’s campaign?
I found this quote attributed to Obama on Rush’s site (I don’t know where he got it, but the words sound like Obama)
we cannot impose a military solution on what has effectively become a civil war. And until we acknowledge that reality, uh, we can send 15,000 more troops; 20,000 more troops; 30,000 more troops. uh, I don’t know any, uh, expert on the region or any military officer that I’ve spoken to, uh, privately that believes that that is gonna make a substantial difference on the situation on the ground.
Obama can run and scrub his website, but he can’t hide.
Voters won’t have to go to Obama’s website to get his views on the surge — they already know he opposed it. (How many voters go to candidtates’ websites, in the first place?)
For me, the interesting news today is the $6+ drop in the price of crude oil. Unless I’m mistaken, it is due to President Bush rescinding the ban on off-shore drilling. The matter is now up to Pelosi and Reid. If they block rescission, the price of oil goes back up and they get the proper blame, but if enough House and Senate Democrats abandon them and vote for it, the price decline continues. If this happens we can expect to see Obama’s opposition to offshore drilling be purged from his website
This campaign does more airbrushing than Playboy.
liar liar pants on fire.
