I was just reading some of the Tweets from various bloggers and pundits responding to President Obama's Afghanistan speech. Here are a few:
@PatrickRuffini: The volunteers who signed on to what they thought was an antiwar campaign must be so, so disappointed
@SenArlenSpecter: This venture is not worth so many American lives or the billions it will add to our deficit.
@benpolitico: "right makes might" conclusion a bit jarring after very pragmatic argument, no?
@openleft: Sound as technocratic as you like Mr. President, but this decision will kill far more people than it will save.
@waltisfrozen: If Obama was keeping all of his campaign promises, some of the 30,000 additional troops sent to Afghanistan would be gay.
@pourmecoffee: Merits aside, speech has unconvincing tone similar to "why Jurrasic Park will be just fine" at beginning of the movie.
I started posting on HowieinSeattle in 11/04, following progressive American politics in the spirit of Howard Dean's effort to "Take Our Country Back." I decided to follow my heart and posted on seattleforbarackobama from 2/07 to 11/08.--"Howie Martin is the Abe Linkin' of progressive Seattle."--Michael Hood.
