Stephanopoulos: Obama Agrees Now with McCain on Afghanistan

[bornkool]

Nice

[jshooper]

ARE U FUCKING SERIOUS....they are following his lead....i can't believe these fools are allowed to be on tv telling in your face lies...the sad thing is many people will believe them because they watch shows like this to make themselves feel smart

[gruppy1]

He's right that Obama is trying to take credit for just about every foreign policy move:

He refuses to acknowledge the surge worked.

He blurs the line between diplomats meeting with Iran and the President meeting with Ahmadinejad.

The Pentagon has been planning for more troops in Afghanistan all along but he just wants his name attached to calling for more troops. Aha see I told you. George is comparing that to how left this guy ran in the primary. George has a good point.

[anima715]

WHAT! OBAMA HAS BEEN TELLING EVERONE FOR A YEAR OR SO NOW THAT WE NEED MORE TROOPS IN AFGANASTAN!

Everyone (including Patreaus and McCain) NOW agree with HIM!

[beckpod1]

George is up there with Limbaugh and O'Rielly.

Got his cocksucker flapping both ways...

he's still sucking Clinton's dick!

[cowboys837]

McCain now agrees with Obama on more troops for Afghanistan, Obama has been saying all along that we attacked the wrong country, the right one he has said was Afghanistan. We need to finish what we started in Afghanistan and kill Osama Bin Laden.

[treebeard6969]

George Snaffalopocus(sesame street)is a ass wipe main stream media whore.Who cares what he thinks.McCain,Obama...doesnt make a difference...just a side show..We must get rid of the Federal Reserve and IRS...They are crashing our dollar on purpose.This piece of shit was part of the Clinton regime and NAFTA..Who gives a shit about what he thinks

[sol3dg3]

McCain has shifted his stance on Afghanistan.

[fieryman1]

Even a "smooth talker" in the White House is preferable to the handicapped Bush who can not express himself at all. We are literally "starved" for someone high up to TALK TO US. I think Obama is whiley, but I trust McCain far less. He's like Bush... just wants to be President. If he does a good job in the office, who cares. It's the legacy thing.

[lljb99]

George wants Obama to go down so Hillary gets her chance at 66 to be president in 2012. I've never forget or forgive 45 minutes of asinine questions at the Obama/Hillary debate - and the 30 minute free infomercial for Hillary just before the Pennsylvania primary. He'd rather burn the country with 4 years of wars - probably 3 of them because McCain can't wait to light up Iran and keep filling the pockets of Halliburton and KBR, watch the $ drop another 40%, and see employer-pd ins. ended.

[JohnR22926]

I've got a real problem with George (and others) who cross the line from political employee (working on Clinton's campaign and staff) to "journalist". I don't see how these people can possibly be non-partisan...or even have the perception of being non-partisan...when they were paid employees of a pol.

Transitioning to punditry is OK. But not posing as a journalist.

[dafttool]

Stephanopoulos is right about there being a "blurring of the lines" because that is exactly what he is doing here by misrepresenting & coloring the facts. Obama's stance on Afghanistan needing more troops has been consistent, & it is our military that has moved toward him by acknowledging that is what is needed now. Maliki & Bush's time horizons have moved toward Obama's idea of troop withdrawal in Iraq. The Bushies have also moved toward Obama by opening up belated diplomatic relations w/Iran.

[iLuvAkeys4ever]

WOW these guys are mad. Since when did John McCain even think there was an issue in Afghanistan. Geoge steph is misleading the people, he is blatantly lying I can't believe what he just said. Obama was the one that said there was an issue in Afghanistan and now McCain is following him and not the other way around!!!!

[cem404]

Stephanopoulis has lost all credibility. ABC had better ditch him or their news operation is going down the drain.

[vallejoelgrande]

Yeah, I think his phrasing was inverted. Everyone knows McCain, Bush and the Iraqi leaders are all doing the things Obama suggested. Heck, it almost seems like everyone's treating Obama like he's already the president.

[HaloedG]

The Republicans have had this clown in their pocket since day one.  I like how he thinks of himself as distinguished when he is in fact a fucking tool.

[socksnogger]

They must have sewn his toupee too deep.

[asdffd]

Fuck me! What a fucking idiot.

[pntognnss1759]

Then there's also the very interesting blurring of the lines between

Fact and spin...

Government talking points and the media...

[Cotoia]

Yeah, yeah. He just misspoke. And, you know, Gibson didn't correct him because he must've uh, misheard.

Total bullshit.

[louis4louis]

He just misspoke. no big deal.

[darkally]

lame

[osiris33]

Doesn't he have it backwards????? I think he just misspoke, ahh georgie

[clevomon]

*sigh* You've got it backwards George. Wanna try again?

[lmn8bush]

george snuffleupaguss is just another enabler of the bush/mccain propaganda machine .

[UGOTDAJACK]

WTF!!?? Do these people really think that their viewers are that stupid? Where is the accountability from the host? He should have corrected Stephanopooulos immediatly but instead he goes on as if he never heard what he said. Personally, I don't mind them doing stupid shit like this because now that can't say shit like Obama's getting help from the "liberal media"

[cjbrix]

The unfortunate thing is, a lot of ABC viewers really are that stupid.

[UGOTDAJACK]

Since yall are on YouTube observing these presidential elections there is something of utter importance that I think yall need to see. If yall value your rights and freedoms then I advise yall to watch wath (Alex Jones vs Neocon) I don't know how to fix this problem but it must be publicly revelead that there definetly IS a problem. People like Rosenburg, Glenn Beck, Michelle Malkin, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter,etc... all jokes aside, their commiting treason. The MSM is controlled by zionists...

[clevomon]

Oh boy. Here we go with the paranoid Jews-Control-The-Media! rants...

[UGOTDAJACK]

People like you are the reasons why they can do what they do and people like me and a few other rational people that can recognize bullshit when they see get dragged down regardless because there ain't enough of us. Wath (alex jones vs neocon) just so you can get a sense that the next video I tell you to watch isn't fake. When you done with that series watch (end game)

[bodah44]

lying scumbag way to spin it stephanopoulos

[BJBlitzstein]

What a Dick!

[SinjiOnO]

WTF? isn't it the other way around?!

[foodope]

Disgusting distortion of the facts.
