Timing is everything. Just as I changed my position on the direction the U.S. should take in the war in Afghanistan, President Obama decides to do the exact opposite and yet I find myself in agreement with him and support his decision. Not hard to do really, since a month earlier I had been of the same opinion. Which goes to show that the war in Afghanistan remains a conundrum to me, and others as well, so I will henceforth refrain from opining on it anymore. At least until July 2011.
Tuesday night's speech by President Obama may have upset many of his most ardent supporters, but I thought it was his most presidential to date. In fact, what was really strange about the speech was that most of it could have been delivered by President George W. Bush. Which, in turn, is exactly why many of Obama's most ardent supporters are upset.
