How much further to the left can you get than Frank Rich and even he says Obama misquoted McCain:

REALLY, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton should be ashamed of themselves for libeling John McCain. As a growing chorus reiterates, their refrains that Mr. McCain is “willing to send our troops into another 100 years of war in Iraq” (as Mr. Obama said) or “willing to keep this war going for 100 years” (per Mrs. Clinton) are flat-out wrong.What Mr. McCain actually said in a New Hampshire town-hall meeting was that he could imagine a 100-year-long American role in Iraq like our long-term presence in South Korea and Japan, where “Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed.” See for yourself on YouTube.

. It couldn’t be clearer if even Frank Rich gets it. And the clip that I posted yesterday makes it clear that Obama says that what Rich said was inaccurate and yet there are YouTube clips that show him saying exactly what Rich says he said.So, I’m sorry you lefties are having a hard time comprehending what your messiah said and how he libeled McCain and then lied about it. I know you might find it hard to believe that your messiah is not sinless and has feet of clay but it’s better to get used to it now than waiting until the fall to found out about all the wonderful things the Republicans’ opposition research has dug up :-)Here’s the video of McCain in context.
