SIR, THE CAMPAIGN IS OVER.  YOU HAVE THE JOB - AT 3:32 P.M. ET:  From Fox News:

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. presence in Afghanistan will not "be an open-ended commitment of infinite resources, President Obama said in an interview aired Sunday.

Obama said security is tenuous in that nation in part because of neglect in the last U.S. administration. He said he inherited the war and tried to suggest that it was not his war now that he has announce a new strategy for bringing stability to Afghanistan.

"I think it's America's war. And it's the same war that we initiated after 9/11 as a consequence of those attacks," Obama told CBS' "Face the Nation" on Friday, the day he announced his new plan. "The focus over the last seven years I think has been lost. ... Unless we get a handle on it now, we're gonna be in trouble."

COMMENT:  So needlessly tacky.  So, what is he saying?  It was Bush's war, but, now that Obama is president, it's America's war? 

Why wouldn't I trust this man to write a dictionary?
