One of these men is president. The other is not. There’s a good reason for that.

As we watch the media continue to ask advice from the same stumbling fools and heartless knaves who planned and executed the invasion of Iraq, it’s important to remember a couple of key facts:
1) Barack Obama defeated Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary in large part because he opposed the war from the beginning, while Clinton refused to apologize for her vote.
2) Barack Obama defeated John McCain in large part because McCain continued to celebrate the invasion of Iraq and seemed eager to bomb Iran.
Cue the latest poll:
More Americans agree with President Barack Obama’s views on Iraq than those of Sen. John McCain, a new poll says.
According to a Public Policy Polling survey released Tuesday, 54 percent of voters say they agree more with the president on Iraq, compared with 28 percent who said they agree more with McCain.
Why are we asking Republicans and hawks how to handle Iraq again?
