What does this mean? I assume you mean that you expect him to say one thing when he campaigns, but to say another thing when he's elected? You're OK with that? most people would be bothered by that kind of dishonesty, and at the very least, it's not the "change" we were promised.

"You're contorting his defense of our interests"

Spence, I posted a direct quote, I didn't contort anything. Please enlighten us, what did I contort? I'm all ears...


"Obama has not adopted the Bush Doctrine."

Really? Invading the sovereign space of Pajistan, just to kill Bin Laden? Spebce, PLEASE TELL US, how is Obama's foreign policy different from Bush's? Bush speculated that if we established democracy in Iraq, that "it will spread like pollen". Seems to me like Obama is saying the same exact thing, no? Again, you're saying Obama has not adopted the Bush doctrine, so please support that with actual differences?

"Obama has a responsibility to encourage the foreign behavior believed to be in our best interests"

Ahhh. But when Bush did tyhe same thing, did you give him credit for that?
