Quote:
On June 2, Obama declared the U.S. economy was “moving in the right direction.” The same day, Vice President Biden predicted 100,000 to 200,000 jobs would be created each month through 2010. That prediction,if it came true, would fall 5.2 million jobs short of Obama’s promise that the stimulus package would create more than 4 million jobs by the end of 2010.

For the month of June, at least, Biden's prediction is off by 275,000 jobs.

As of July 2, adding June job losses puts Obama more than 5.3 million jobs away from his promise.
His promise to create jobs has resulted in more lost jobs, and not just now, but for generations to come.

Just a fraction of McCain's (past) lifetime, right?

Actually, I would hope we can remove the non-combat troops on an expedited basis as well. However, it seems the State Department has plans for big presence in Iraq.

Can someone dig up the base pictures?

It's like they are setting up to be the new royalty over there, they are not bases they are palaces.
