It must be difficult to be an Obama adviser. No, wait; Scratch that. It would be difficult to be an Obama adviser if the media actually cared to cover the candidate’s gaffes and inconsistencies.

Obama’s chief strategist, last seen attempting to claim Obama never accused McCain of wanting 100 more years of war, had this to say on MSNBC today.

David Axelrod said that Barack Obama “never disputed the fact that if you throw a surge of American soldiers in an area that you can make a difference.”

Too bad history disputes Axelrod’s claim. January 14, 2007:

“We can send 15,000 more troops, 20,000 more troops, 30,000 more troops: I don’t know any expert on the region or any military officer that I’ve spoken to privately that believes that that is going to make a substantial difference on the situation on the ground.”

Maybe one day the media will cover Team Obama’s inconsistencies with the same uumph it extends to Team McCain’s. And maybe I’ll sprout wings and fly.
