An Agreeable Obama

It was pointed out that Obama had “agreed” a lot with McCain, but what it really was was candid (perhaps too candid) acknowledgement of agreement on some of the points he made.

But what I want you to pay attention to is future behavior: expect that the Pro-McCain camp will soundbite every instance of “I agree…” and spool it out as a series of agreements on major points.

Just watch the Dowding of Truth by the Right once again.

UPDATE: I really hate being right, sometimes. I always wish the comments I make on harsher things are wrong because I’m a man very much in favor of statemanship over gamesmanship and certainly anything in the world over chowderheaded brinkmanship.

Before McCain left the stage of the debate, his shallow, literalist campaign posted a video to YouTube:

The first time I watched this video, it was so quick to be posted that McCain didn’t even have a chance to approve of it. But obviously that grumpy, ugly man did, finally.

What a pig. Is it latent Stockholm Syndrome on his part?

Anyway, what to take away from this about McCain’s Campaign? That his campaign would claim “victory” for McCain no matter how he performed or fared.

Nice folks, huh?
