Being Barack Obama

First, McCain adopted Obama's longstanding notion of sending at least three additional combat brigades to Afghanistan, even after McCain said for years that Iraq was the central battleground in the war on terror.

Now, McCain says that he thinks Obama's 16-month timetable for withdrawing troops from Iraq is a "pretty good timetable."

Coming next week: McCain changes his position on the gas-tax holiday, calling it a "political gimmick."

Foreign policy and wars are supposed to be John McCain's strong point and Barack Obama's weak point, yet McCain is moving to Obama on these issues.

And don't forget the ridicule the GOP heaped on Obama for saying the US should meet with Iran without preconditions, and then Bush sent his #3 State Department Executive to meet with Iran without preconditions.

And also remember the scorn the GOP spewed at Obama for saying tha the US should bomb inside Pakistani borders if they have actionable intelligence of al Qaeda there, and then McCain and Bush has since said they would do the same not only in Pakistan but also Iran.

absurd anology
