"We are the change we have been waiting for" - what the heck does that even mean? "Yes we can!" - yes we can what? It doesn't referrence anything. His claim that he was the only one who got it right when he voted against giving the president the authority to go to war in Iraq. Unfortunately, based on the information that was available at the time, the information every country and intelligence agency in the <strong>entire world</strong> thought was correct, the Obamessiah got it terribly wrong. If the we had found the WMDs everyone, including most people in his own party, had expected to find, Obama would have been the tragically wrong odd man out. Even though we didn't find the WMDs, I still think it was the correct decision. Sadam was one of our two most implacable enemies on this planet (the other being Osama) and had already (as we found out later from the Russian intelligence services) given orders to his Special Forces to start planning terrorist attacks on the United states both at overseas targets and on the mainland. Sadam had to go and it was better we did then, when he was weak, before his buddies that he was paying off in France, Germany, and Russia got the UN sanctions lifted and allowed him to rebuild his military.
