Popcorn sales are soaring across the nation because Obama will give a live Oval Office speech tonight on the U.S. victory in Iraq.
I’m disappointed that Obama will not be giving the speech after climbing out of a jet wearing a flight suit, like George W. did with his “Mission Accomplished” speech in 2003.
I expect that Obama will have at least half a dozen Montana-sized howlers in his speech tonight.
But will he out-BS Bush on Iraq?
Has anyone seen betting odds on this proposition? It will not be easy, considering that Bush spent 6 years shoveling hokum on Iraq.
On the other hand, Obama has embraced most of Bush’s follies. Perhaps he can rise to this challenge as well.

I’d be willing to bet Obama learned that exact lesson mentioned about Georgie’s flight suit “Mission Accomplished” fandango. I.e., be damned careful about overstating your accomplishments because if wrong your only options thereafter are to be seen as either a fool, or a liar.
