USA Today: Why Can’t Obama Just Admit That The Surge Worked?

A good question:
Why then can’t Obama bring himself to acknowledge the surge worked better than he and other skeptics, including this page, thought it would? What does that stubbornness say about the kind of president he’d be?
Read the whole thing.
I’d suggest that the answer is because Obama doesn’t think it’s politically expedient for him to admit that the surge worked. He was driven to the nomination by the far-left hordes that have taken over the Democrat party, and while Obama does need to nab the middle and as much of the right as he can if he wants to win the election he can’t just turn tail on those hordes who nominated him.
So he’s stuck between a rock and the hard place. Does he ‘fess up to reality to please the vast majority of reasonable, logical Americans? Or does he continue to pander to the anti-war base that got him this far which cares little for things like reason and logic?
His choice to this point is clear.
