It has been nearly 80 days since General McChrystal's request for more troops landed on President Obama's desk. More than 100 U.S. soldiers have died in Afghanistan while they wait for some back-up.

In the meantime, Obama will be in New Jersey today campaigning and fundraising for Gov. Corzine.

Priorities, anyone?
