I noticed the lack of self-reflection too, but didn't want to mention it apart from context. Obama is definitely not Bush III on policy, however. Obama has renounced his previous wise opposition to taking oil out of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. [1] [1] http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2008/08/know_pandering.asp NYkrinDC,

When I heard Pres. Bush's response I was taken aback at the fact that the man seemed unable to accept that he could make mistakes. Hearing Sen. Obama do the same is very troubling.
