Hey Obama, if it’s not important, then why did you say it in the first place?

Here’s Obama’s strategy.

1. Make whatever statement he wants.
2. When challenged, change story.
3. When cornered about the change, claim that the whole thing is a distraction.

I can picture one of those cartoon thought balloons hovering over Obama’s head reading: “I hope they change the subject…”

WTF does “sufficient preparation” mean???

Yeah, why the obsession over Ahmadinejad? It’s not like he’s the guy who represents Iran at the UN and in every other diplomatic capacity around the world or anything….

It was Khameini who met with Chavez, right? Oh wait, no that was Ahmadinejad… Tough cookie, this one.

By the way, speaking of background, isn’t that an incandescent bulb in the lamp behind him?

Someone needs to photoshop that screen cap photo on the front page.

The Change sign in the background should “The Channel” under it every time it’s used.

If I was in Obama’s shoes, I certainly wouldn’t talk to him. Especially since it’s now been revealed that the little Iran dictator was actually the one who farted in Chavez’ face. And Chavez blamed Bush.

…no matter what Obama says he probably still won’t be making as many concessions as ~~Bush~~ Rice was prepared to make?

AP

First, it’s not a fact. It’s an assertion drenched in frustration and phrased in hyperbole. The truth: there is no question that Obama would give up anything they asked for. He’s a wimp, a pacifist, and a lightweight.

Sorry to be repetitive, since many on this thread have already expressed it so well, but I’m tired of this guy getting one big free pass. Anything pointed out to or asked of him is a “distraction”. So now questioning him on how he’d deal with Iran is a distraction. So we should just ignore them, then?
The only thing more lame than this clown is the republican party, which can’t seem to find enough guts to go after him.

Nope, don’t be sorry. This is how it is, exactly the same as when Clinton was president, he could do no wrong, ever. The Messiah is a fabulous name for Barrack Obama, because that’s exactly how the MSM is treating him. It’s bloody appalling. And I hope McCain and the Republican party drops the gloves and pounds him into the ground, but good Christ they’d better start it soon before it’s too late!

Wasn’t the Obama camp the first to bring up “preparations?” If so, he’s simply trying to ~~twist~~ re-frame what’s being discussed.

And is he saying that as POTUS he would meet face to face with the mullahs if they are the ones who are the decision makers?

Can’t you monsters let the man finish his waffle?

Which reminds me – how stupid do you have to be as a Presidential candidate to ask someone to “let me finish my waffle”?!

Oh wait, it was a news “reporter”. Obama was feeling charitable actually, since he could have just told the reporter to f-off, and we would have never read a word about about it.

If it works why would he not use it. anything BHO says is a distraction the GOP should make a campaign issue. We should not let the dems frame the debate.

“I think this obsession with Ahmadinejad is an example of us losing track of what’s important.”

How many more times is he going to get away with this?

Pathetic.

Everything is a distraction, these sound bites are going to make one heck of a commercial later. What pray tell is not a distraction? I have to believe that Mark Salter is coming up with some hardcore ammunition for a debate.
