I’ve remarked before how the Republican nominee John McCain has made several serious mistakes and error-of-facts when talking about foreign policy (which is something he claims he is an expert at). Usually, he is corrected by a journalist or an aid when he makes factual mistakes in his speeches, but his latest mistake is something he isn’t even acknowledging is wrong! Just over about 48 hours ago he gave a speech in Wisconsin, and remarked how the number of US troops in Iraq is down to pre-surge levels, in an attempt to reassure voters that violence in Iraq has been quelled by the surge. However, he is very very wrong. There are currently about  155,000 troops in Iraq, and pre-surge troop levels would be at 130,000. You would think that once corrected and confronted with his mistake, he would apologize and correct himself. But no! McCain just restated and reworded himself, all the while insisting that he was correct! Wtf! This man… How can anyone think that he’s fit to get anything done, or fit to lead anyone anywhere?

Also… I’ve come to the personal conclusion that if Obama does get elected and then assassinated, as I’ve heard some people foresee, it won’t be by racists. It will be by multi-billionaire businessmen who are pissed because Obama cares more about people than the market.
