MCCAIN WILL BE THE PRESIDENT MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY I BELEIVE THIS MORE. NOT BECAUSE I WANT HIM TO BUT ON POLICIES. I CANT WAIT TO HEAR WHAT OBAMA HAS TO SAY WHEN HE GETS BACK FROM IRAQ



Barack Obama told reporters Thursday that he could “refine” his plan for a 16-month withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

“When I go to Iraq and have a chance to talk to some of the commanders on the ground, I am sure I’ll have more information and will continue to refine my policies,” he said before heading to an event with veterans at a local children’s museum.

The statement comes as critics heighten attacks on the Democrat for backing off his hardline stance on withdrawing troops within his first 16 months in office. Obama hasn’t mentioned the timeline as frequently in speeches lately, a fact he says is due to his greater emphasis on economic issues.
