Obama on Visting Iraq

Talk about a red herring:

"John McCain has spent a lot of time talking about trips to Iraq in the last few weeks, but maybe if he spent some time taking trips to the cities and towns that have been hardest hit by this economy-cities in Michigan, and Ohio, and right here in Minnesota-he'd understand the kind of change that people are looking for."
Only McCain has visited American cities, but he's also visited Iraq to base his decisions on developments on the ground, rather than on his commitment to ideology and lofty rhetoric.

John McCain, Iraq
