Here's the headline:
Obama aligns foreign policy with GOP
Wow. Does this mean that Barack has changed his mind and now supports the war in Iraq?
Nope. That's not the GOP AP writer Devlin Barrett is talking about. From the article:
Sen. Barack Obama said Friday he would return the country to the more "traditional" foreign policy efforts of past presidents, such as George H.W. Bush, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.At a town hall event at a local high school gymnasium, Obama praised George H.W. Bush — father of the president — for the way he handled the Persian Gulf War: with a large coalition and carefully defined objectives.
OK, now it makes sense. He agrees with the pre-9/11 GOP position. 9/11 didn't really happen, or to be more accurate, it happened, but it didn't really change anything. We should still be reactive to terrorists rather than proactive. We should only act when the majority of the world agrees with our actions.
I'll say one thing for Obama, he is accomplishing what I once thought was impossible; he's making it easier for me to pull the lever for McCain.
