The Highlight Reel

So lets get this straight:(1) Obama refuses to acknowledge the success of the surge.(2) Obama is a dumbass for saying the surge of U.S. troops has “succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.”FACT CHECK: He has repeatedly clarified that the surge succeeded in reducing VIOLENCE “beyond our wildest dreams”, but it has not led to the political reconciliation among quarreling factions that was its larger goal.I’m waiting to see a real fact check regarding the debates.

When Obama gets on a roll (the “bombbomb bomb”–h/t Jane) the meter soars. When McBoring is at his best it only rises just above “alive” in dems and independents and often just the switch from Obama to McCreepy looks, on the meter, like someone’s Viagra has worn off.What do they use to gauge these reactions? Pulse? A do-it-yourself rating thing where the person is aware of pushing or pulling?
