Professor VD Hanson makes a good point today:
"The alterations in positions during Mr. Obama's pre-presidency were praised as "flexible" and "bipartisan."
Perhaps.
But Mr. Obama did not adjust on just an issue or two. Instead, he went whole hog.
It would be difficult to find a single major policy position that he hasn't backtracked somewhat on, especially on matters of foreign policy and the war against terror.
Yet throughout the campaign, Mr. Obama and the media argued that the manner in which Mr. Bush waged the war against terror was harmful to the republic.
So, were Mr. Bush's polices wrong then, but suddenly right now?
Have you ever seen anything like it? I haven't!
All of this comes on the heels of Admit It: The Surge Worked By Peter Beinart.
When will Pres. BO say: I was wrong about the surge!
