Barack on Iraq War: ‘Not Much of a Difference Between My Position and George Bush's Position’ — July 2004 (Lanny Davis)
@ 11:43 am
Addendum to last messages —

Is there a reason why the media has not asked Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) how he can base his campaign on attacking Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) on her war vote while saying his position on the war was no different than President Bush's as of July 2004? To wit:

In a meeting with Chicago Tribune reporters at the Democratic National Convention, Obama said,

“On Iraq, on paper, there's not as much difference, I think, between the Bush administration and a Kerry administration as there would have been a year ago. […] There's not much of a difference between my position and George Bush's position at this stage. The difference, in my mind, is who's in a position to execute.”

— Chicago Tribune, 07/27/04

How could the media have missed reporting this?

Three Obamas on war —

1) Critic of Hillary Clinton on war authorization vote — a core message of his campaign

2) Obama: "No difference" between Bush position on war and his own (Chicago Tribune, 07/04)

3) Obama: "Doesn't know" how he would have voted on war vote (Chicago Tribune, 10/04)

Why have any parties at all? Do away with the Dems and Reps and vote who you feel best qualified for that position. Personally I think Codaliza Rice for prez and John Edwards for vp would be a good combo for the country. Both are very smart and energitice and know what has to be done.

Has Obama picked Edwards as his running mate then? I have nto kept up lately, so am not sure.
As long as He does not pick Hilary as his running mate, I have no problems with him being in office. Whereas I DO have problems with Mcain no matter WHO his running mate is.

LOL that's rich.
Most of what you regurgitate is exactly that. Broad unbased speculation. Just because you get your info from left leaning sources doesn't make it correct.
