In the wake of testimony by General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker to both the Senate and the House regarding the state and future strategy of the Iraq War, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi posted an Iraq War cost breakdown on her blog (yes, she has a blog):
The Cost of Iraq War Broken Down
Second: $3,919
Minute: $235,160
Hour: $14.1 million
Day: $338.6 million
Week: $2.4 billion
Month: $10.3 billion
Year: $123.6 billion
There’s a little perspective for you.

And now so is Hilary.
No doubt Hilary and Barack have the best chances to win the nomination right now. The Hilary announcement was inevitable, but I fear that Barack did so out of a feeling of obligation due to all of the attention he is getting lately. I just hope this massive amount of support carries through to the end and people don’t give up on him when the opposition starts trotting out trivial facts.
And honestly, I don’t think any of the other potentials have much of a chance.
Obama like what!
