Obama's Bus Claims Another Victim, MoveOn.org......

Getting awfully crowded under there.......

Almost lost in the Wes Clark haze of Monday’s patriotism speech in Independence, Mo., was this line from Sen. Barack Obama:

“All too often our politics still seems trapped in these old, threadbare arguments -- a fact most evident during our recent debates about the war in Iraq, when those who opposed administration policy were tagged by some as unpatriotic, and a general providing his best counsel on how to move forward in Iraq was accused of betrayal.”

That last clause is a direct shot at the liberal group MoveOn.org, which greeted Gen. David Petraeus’ congressional testimony last fall with a full-page ad in The New York Times that asked the question: “General Petraeus or General Betray Us?"

Several journalists have noted that Obama rather conveniently skipped the Senate vote cooked up by Republicans to condemn MoveOn.org’s ad back in September, even though he cast other votes that day.

But perhaps more interesting is that this is the second time in a week that Obama is lining up in opposition to MoveOn.org, perhaps the most politically influential online liberal group -- whose members endorsed Obama’s candidacy back in February.

No one is safe from the Obama bus. LOL

The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round.

it is just a smokescreen, if he is elected, he will re-establish his ties with all those he seems to be trying to avoid for now..
