In a post critical of Senator McCain for making a campaign issue out of the canceled troop visit, Tapper adds:
(Why wasn’t the Obama campaign more than forthcoming? Because clearly some top advisers believed it was OK to spin half-truths to the media simply because they are physiologically able to do so, the candidate’s rhetoric about transparency and serving “the people” notwithstanding.)
It may not have been until Obama addressed the matter at 10 Downing Street that we got an answer seemingly close to the truth on this all.
Seemingly close? Why would Senator McCain stop talking about this if even those attacking McCain on it are not quite satisfied with Team Obama’s explanation?
