Here is MSNBC's political analyst Chuck Todd reporting that the Republican Party is panicked over Maliki's endorsement of Obama's timetable. Todd also states that, while Obama's Iraq trip has been a huge boom for the Obama campaign this weekend, the presidential race will still shift back towards the economy. From YouTube:
Todd is right--there is a serious panic taking place within the GOP. Not only has Maliki pulled the rug out of the GOP's argument for continuing the Iraq war, but the deteriorating economy under George W. Bush's administration certainly doesn't help John McCain's campaign to continue with a third Bush term, especially since McCain's economic policy is a continuation of Bush's economic policy. Right now, the McCain campaign and the Bush administration are pushing this spin that the coming U.S. recession is "psychological," even as Americans are being hurt by job losses, high energy and food prices, and falling home values due to the mortgage mess. It is the perfect storm of disaster after disaster falling on to the GOP, disasters created by their own outright greed and incompetence.
Is it no wonder that they are in a panic?
