    nope, my middle name is martin, not amusing. genuine class. even if mine was amusing, it couldnt be as bad as hussein. there are only maybe four names in the world that terrible for an american politician to have.

    hussein is an absurd middle name that you deserve if you are a phony politician.

    if you have a name that previous president had, you are in good shape name-wise. george, john, theodore, william, martin, these are all great. my first and middle names are both presidential because i am just that classy.

    white trash names like tristan and colby or hillary arent gonna cut it. slightly ethnic names are ok, rudy is passable, so are anthony and even clarence. jose is pushing it. hussein and obama are so far out there that you are done before you start.

    That's why the majority of the country is in favor of Hillary vs (Rudy or John)?

    You are saying that Hillary<Rudy<John....yet the public differs....

    Quit trying to read a political message into my remarks. I purposely tried to avoid that. To answer your question, the poor choice of words is disrespectful to the troops at war. See?

    You're kidding, right? The fact that the Bush admin. thought that they could solve 1400 year-old conflicts is the reason for the American involvement in the current problems. Take our involvement out, and you and I are not having this conversation.
    Yep. Any other astounding insights, or are you just going to continue pointing out the petty mistakes of others? My guess is the latter.

    I would suggest you research the polling data before making statements like this. Most of the polls are too close to call. Several have Rudi beating Hillary and Hillary beating McCain. There is simply no foundation whatsoever for a statement like "the majority of the country is in favor of Hillary vs whoever". Its just not true.

    EDIT: Actually, aftering looking closer at the data, there isnt a single poll that shows Hillary with the "majority of the country" in favor of her when measured against McCain or Rudi.

    I actually agree with you. There is no way that Obama meant that the soldiers had wasted their lives by joining the military. There is only a very small minority in this country that think joining the military and Obama isn't one of them.

    However, I don't agree with Obama that the administration has wasted these soldiers lives by making them fight in an "unjust" war, as I don't think Iraq is unjust. But, that's a whole other discussion.

    Drc, the first poll on the page (newsweek) has Hillary at 50% and McCain at 46 or something.
