It’s a Tough Time for Obama

Today’s New York Daily News has an interesting article about Obama’s foreign policy. In particular, it discusses how Obama has refused to factor in the fact that the Surge is working into his 16-month plan for withdrawal.
This seems interesting considering that Obama has received enormous criticism for his recent “flip-flopping” or as we like to think of it – a series of steps to appear more moderate to the average American.
The Iraq War has always been an issue that Obama felt strongly about – and it’s an issue where Obama has a vastly different stance than McCain. Even though his economic policies are becoming much more conservative, his determination to stick to his Iraq plan shows that he is still very much Barack Obama.
But for the rest of the campaign, he’s going to get criticized no matter what he does.
