Sheehan returns to rebuke Obama

After spending weeks dogging George W. Bush’s presidential vacations, anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan is now trying to make life uncomfortable for President Barack Obama.

Sheehan used to pitch a peace camp near Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, becoming a symbol of the anti-war movement after her son Casey died in action in Iraq.

On Thursday, she and a band of anti-war protesters turned up outside the media center used by journalists covering Obama’s vacation on the well-heeled east coast resort island of Martha’s Vineyard.

“The reason I am here is because … even though the facade has changed in Washington DC, the policies are still the same,” Sheehan told a handful of journalists, against a backdrop of her “Camp Casey” banner.

Credit where credit is due… Cindy Sheehan sticks to her convictions regardless of who’s in charge and is consistent. Most of the anti-war movement during the Bush years was totally bogus. Put a Democrat in office and — voilĂ ! — the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are a-OK with lefties. A paltry eight percent of them consider the wars a policy priority.
