What Did Obama Say About This?

Gee, Gates singing from Obama's playlist. Ya think? Politics in war? Dare they gamble our national reputation and peoples lives to stay in power? Believe it folks, these guys and gals need to go, right now. And McCain is one of them. 26 years and I won't take any blame for the bad, but I will claim credit for the good. Go home and enjoy your retirement. Have Byrd, Pelosi, Kennedy, Stevens, and Reid over for a BBQ. Wait, Stevens may already be getting free food by the time the election is over.
