Plouffe comes across as just as inept as Obama - waffling, stumbling, avoiding answering the actual questions. Kids do that a lot when caught in lies.

lol Plouffe and Obama, what a pair...
This reminds me of that Elvis song.. "A Little Less conversation, a little more action please.
Obama once again, waffling and shucking and jiving on the Iraq issue.
Will the Real Barack Obama "Please Stand Up".

Plouffe is not great - but Obama is and he's the one running for office.

what?!? Did you read this article? Seems to me that both Ploffe and the Campaign are clear int heir committment to getting out of Iraq and that there was no 'meeting' as both Goolsbee and the Candian govt have stated. This is the clear and consistent message/action that the Obama campaign has been doing. HRC can throw the kitchen sink, at the end of the day, she is shown to be manipulative, and misleading.

I dunno Louis??
Maybe it's good she resigned..??

obama = waffling, waffling, waffling -
Sure take out the troops in Iraq within 16 months of taking office - and then what? Leave Iraq to the insurgents again? Watch Iran move in overnight and take over Iraq. Does obama even care enough about International, particularly Middle East affairs at all? He just throws around his ideology and expects the world to stop its axis because he is speaking. Obama knows $$$$ about leading a country, let alone the international sphere. This man had the ego of a self-indulgent spoiled little brat and he wants to run our country? I hope never, never, never.

If there was ever any clear evidence that Obama is not ready yet to be president then this is it. His campaign manager can't seem to figure out what he wants to say and his Senior Policy Advisors are making rookie gaffs. I for one wouldn't like to see them running the country...scary thought.

naw - bama misled us. he never emphasized the flexible approach in his speeches. great lawyer though.

BKMC: You mean Madame President don't you..lol
I am in the music biz, and We call a "MONSTER" a huge hit, something or someone bigger than life, so monster in that context is a very respectable and accurate term for Mrs. Clinton.

What about Clinton insulting Mississippi? What about Clinton insulting all the US states that are not NY, Calif, Ohio and Texas? and insulting all the Caucus states? (They don;'t count) What about Clinton's Carl Rove politics of calling Obama Ken Starr? What about Clinton saying she would rather have McCain (aka George W. Bush) as president than Obama? This is the kind of certitude that will not get anything done in Washington due to her stridorous nature.

Well BKMC.... Obama sure is making it easy!

Wheels are coming off.

The government we installed in Iraq has been friendly with Iran since its inception. Which insurgents are you talkign about, there weren't any before we invaded. The ones there now are foriegn fighters which the Iraqis oppose and the disenfranchised Iraqis we have left out of the 'democratic' process we installed there. Whehter we leave next year or 50 years from now, the one thing you can count on is internal strife. Bush and Co have done NOTHING to actually address the taaliban and Al Queda resurgence in Afghanistan. that is where the battle against Al Queda can be won, deny them the source of their funding and a main source of recruitment. There is no difference between Clinton and McCain Iraq policies, only the way they state them. They both plan to follow the Generals that Bush has put in place.

Obama is a not ready for prime time playa! If Hillary didn't ahve so many skeletons in her closet, she would have won the nomination already.

Here's what it looks like to have the press looking into all your flowery, vague, you know, the sort of first moment, kinda, well, we'll sure, we will do that and um, you know, right from the start and keep going um, uh, yeah . . .

This is what Obama and his campaign look and sound like without two weeks of scripting and a fortnight of practice.

No teleprompter and notes - Nobama.

I love the part where Keane is not an advisor, he just gives advice.

Louis, looks like you really go back to school :). yes, I sent advice to clinton campaign as well, since when did i become an advisor?

I really don't know how long the american people are going to take Obama telling them one thing on the campaign trail then in the background with other persons he says something differently.

All these young college students that he has brain washed telling them that he will stop the war, he does not agree with dumb wars, he voted against the war and so on all this talk now to her his top adviser telling the press,

“He will, of course, not rely on some plan that he’s crafted as a presidential candidate or a U.S. Senator…. You can’t make a commitment in March 2008 about what circumstances will be like in January of 2009…”

This is so hypocritical to try and fool the voting public like that, it's unreal that he and his camp is being allowed to do stuff like this.

There is one thing being for a withdrawl which they are both for and giving a hard date (as Obama has) and then having staff/advisors saying that people should not expect him to stick to it. Either he has a hard and firm date for withdrawal or he does not.

Looks like he has no date for withdrawal as he is telling everyone, because she said quiet clearly that the press cant expect him to hold to anything or any promise he made as a presidential candidate.

So in their eyes its ok to lie to the people just to get their vote or as he would say "bamboozle" the people to get the nomination then to hell with them and what they want.

Who wants to accept that am happy for them I am not.
