Obama Flip Flops, Media Covers for Obama AGAIN

Clear, concise, and firm stand on the War

Hey folks,

Here we go again. Obama opens mouth and inserts foot, then CALLS reporters back to "Clarify" his statements. {Laughing} Could anyone else get away with this?

Turns out that Obama, the Liberal Messiah, said that he might "refine" his promise to the LWL to end the war and pull all troops out within 16 months of taking office. Oops! No, no, no WAIT! Did I say that? No, get them back on the phone. Obama told his staff. {Laughing}

Obama was forced to call reporters back for a second news conference in Fargo, North Dakota, after he initially left open the possibility of revising his 16-month timetable for pulling U.S. combat forces from Iraq.

"Let me be as clear as I can be. I intend to end this war. My first day in office I will bring the joint chiefs of staff in and I will give them a new mission and that is to end this war," Obama told reporters in his second news conference.

Then he does it AGAIN!

But he added: "I would be a poor commander in chief if I didn't take facts on the ground into account."

At an earlier news conference, the Illinois senator had said he could "refine" his stance after he visits Iraq.

So which is it?

"I've always said I would listen to commanders on the ground. I've always said the pace of withdrawal would be dictated by the safety and security of our troops and the need to maintain stability," he told reporters on arrival in North Dakota.

"That assessment has not changed, and when I have a chance to meet with some of the commanders on the ground I'm sure I'll have more information and will continue to refine my policies."

So how can you say, I will be taking the LWL, far Left Loony Fringe, Anti-American stance, and end the war, "Make no mistake about it" in 16 months, then say "I would listen to commanders on the ground," and "will continue to refine my policies?" {Laughing] EVEN during the SECOND news conference? This guy is clueless.

I agree with Alex Conant, a Republican National Committee spokesman.

"There appears to be no issue that Barack Obama is not willing to reverse himself on for the sake of political expedience."

Is Barack Obama close to being shadowed by giant flip-flops and, worse, having the image stick with people all the way to the voting booth?

YES. Then she points out some flip flops of Obama.

On Iraq, Obama said Thursday that his upcoming trip there might lead him to refine his promise to quickly remove U.S. troops from the war.

He now supports broader authority for the government's eavesdropping program and legal immunity for telecommunications companies that participated in it, supporting the bill after some protections were added.

The handgun control proponent reacted to the Supreme Court overturning the District of Columbia's gun ban by saying he favors both an individual's right to own a gun as well as government's right to regulate ownership.

Obama became the first major-party candidate to reject public financing for the general election after earlier promises to accept it.

He not only embraced but promised to expand Bush's program to give more anti-poverty grants to religious groups, a split with Democratic orthodoxy.

He objected to the Supreme Court's decision outlawing the death penalty for child rapists, drawing attention to his support for the death penalty if used only for the "most egregious" crimes.

Obama also said "mental distress" should not count as a health exception that would permit a late-term abortion, saying "it has to be a serious physical issue," addressing a matter considered crucial to abortion rights activists.

Then, because it is so completely outrageous that NO ONE other than Obama would even come close to EVER getting away with it, she pointed out the REDO of the Press Conference.

After his remark at a news conference about refining policy exploded onto the political scene, he called a do-over four hours later to "try this again." He said the refining wouldn't be related to his promise to remove combat forces within 16 months of taking office, but to the number of troops needed to train Iraqis and fight al-Qaida. But then he acknowledged that the 16-month timeline could indeed slip if removing troops risked their safety or Iraqi stability.

Yes, and he will be forgiven. The Messiah can do no wrong. Can you even imagine what would have if President Bush ever did this? Say something stupid, wait four hours, then call the press back and say lets "try this again?"

But do not worry, the press will give him a free pass. Jefnnifer Loven will put it off on all politicians do this. Time will move on in the hopes you forget about it. Just remember, he is for "Change", and newness. He can do no wrong. He will save the country and bring peace to the world. OK?
