What Does It All Mean??

I received this in an email a short while ago from a Military Families organization...

President-Elect Barack Obama withdraws Iraq agenda from Change.gov website

Today President-Elect Barack Obama removed his Iraq and Afghanistan policy agenda from his transition website. We, as the Military Families and supporters of the brave troops fighting overseas are asking,

"Does this represent a shift in Mr. Obama's position on Iraq?"

We also want to know whether this means that, in light of the information he received during his national intelligence briefing last week, he will now be allowing our troops to finish the mission in Iraq?

Well, I couldn't find any information on any of his proposals on that website ("agenda" says they're working on it -- if I just missed the President-elect's proposals or agenda somewhere, let me know in the comments)... maybe they're just updating the website?

I did notice that you can APPLY FOR JOBS IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND FEDERAL DEPARTMENTS, AGENCIES & COMMISSIONS by using the website -- in fact, they recommend it... HERE. Wonder if they're giving Veterans Preference or hiring injured, wounded and disabled veterans?

Worst. Campaign. Team. Ever.

Part 6,000:

Joe Kenney, the Republican gubernatorial candidate for New Hampshire and a current state senator*, told me the McCain team refused to allow him to appear on stage at the rally. The official explanation was that he hadn't had a Secret Service background check, and it would not be possible to arrange one in time. Needless to say, this was not persuasive.

(*and a USMC Active Reserves officer who's done two tours in Iraq. Didn't have problems getting clearance for killing his country's enemies, but the McCain camp evidently has tougher entry qualifications.)

IT'S GETTING TO BE THAT TIME...
