Obama Press Conference
Michelle Malkin has done a superb job of summarizing Barack Obama's news conference in Jordan earlier today. She calls it the "Cliff Notes" version of the conference:
1. “Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh.”
2. As commander-in-chief, er, rather, when I’m commander-in-chief…
3. The surge I opposed is working.
4. The architect of the surge, Gen. David Petraeus, is going to waste money on electricity projects, so I must be there to stop him.
5. “Ummmmmm.”
6. Now, stop asking me questions and take pictures.
And 7. “Israel is a strong friend of Israel.” (I missed this one, but commenter Jim M. and other readers report that Obama actually said this. Gaffe-tastic!)
The Tour de Farce continues…
