How many flip-flops can he get a free pass on? He flipped on FISA, the second amendment, gay marriage, Iran, Iraq, welfare reform, NAFTA, and the list goes on.
Obama has a list of flip-flops that would destroy most candidates. The media would be all…

Stole my thunder.

Don’t tell us what you ain’t, Bambi, tell us what you are.

“I am not a defender of the status quo with respect to welfare,” Obama said on the floor of the Illinois state Senate on May 31, 1997. “Having said that, I probably would not have supported the federal legislation, because I think it had some problems.”

Wow. You mean he’s been doing this same stuff for over 10 years now? “I don’t support A. I don’t support B either. Who am I? Who can say. I’m a good person. I don’t take positions — I transcend that. That’s the politics of the past.”

Obama’s claim is that he is some transcendent — and very centrist — political figure who is not the typical big-city liberal pol. He actually claims to have aided in the fight for welfare reform. But he actually opposed welfare……

Slide to the left
Slide to the right
Criss-cross!
Reverse!
Everybody clap your hands…

This is becoming comical. BO stands for everything and nothing at the same time.

Jeremiah Wright could not be reached for comment. (note: reaching under a bus can be hazardous to one’s health.)

How many news items need to begin “Obama Shifts on…” before the charge that he’s a flip-flopping opportunist really sticks?

ABC News’ Teddy Davis and Gregory Wallace Report: Barack Obama aligned himself with welfare reform on Monday, launching…

He opposed the death penalty; now he says he supports it.

He supported gun bans and said they were constitutional (in his expert opinion); now he says he always opposed gun bans, and of course there is an individual constitutional right to bear arms.

He strongly supported public financing of elections, said he would use it, and said the Republican nominee should use it too; now he won’t accept public financing (even though McCain has agreed to use it) because the public financing system is “broken.”

He thinks NAFTA was a bad deal and we should unilaterally re-negotiate it . . . . no wait, Canada, he didn’t really mean that, he was just pandering for votes . . . he really loves NAFTA and will keep it intact.

Gay marriage? He’s for it; no, he’s against it; no, he’s not sure what he thinks about it.

CHANGE . . . we can believe in!

We have a couple of these guys around, they come in, drop a bomb (usually a lie) and then run off.

ABC News  looks at Obama’s new ad, “Dignity”, and sees a flip flop from his stance against Bill Clinton’s welfare reform program:
Barack Obama aligned himself with welfare reform on Monday, launching a television ad which touts the way the ove…

Now tell me again what plan the Pelosi led congress enacted this past year that helped us with our energy crisis?

While endorsing waffles, Reid bans coal and oil from the menu.

Logic is beyond monkei. Even with his grip on Darwin, evolution left monkei behind.

“Adapt” according to nature at least begins with monkei see, monkei do. This tunnel vision monkei only sees monkei. Though at home in the jungle, he’s been seen participating in a zoo time-share vacation plan that is paid for by his participation in pharmaceutical research.

monkei is on dope hope

Yes we need to measure him in “petaflops”.
Thanks,
The next computer will be measured in “Barackaflops”.

Hopenchange ‘08!

Any engineers out there?

The system I’m currently working on is processing a little over 15,000 words every 50 milliseconds.

Not sure if that would do it.

We may need the RoadRunner.

Roadrunner is a supercomputer built by IBM at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, USA. Currently the world’s fastest computer, the US$133-million Roadrunner is designed for a peak performance of 1.7 petaflops,

BO, get a look at those sirens singing above the cliffs!

The Democrat “Centrists” began leaving the DNC when confronted directly by the progressive uber-reaching FDR over his attempt to recreate the SCOTUS vs. Constitution.

Since the seven Democrats who signed the report included seasoned veterans of party warfare, it seemed reasonable to suppose that they had deliberately chosen to express their views in a way that would provoke a clean break with the President. In attacking Roosevelt’s motives and in refusing to concede any merit whatsoever to the bill, they had chosen a brutally divisive tactic. Nobody expected the President to forgive them for their words, however much he might have excused their deeds. “No more harshly worded document was issued forth. . .within the memory of the present generation in Washington,” wrote the Boston Herald’s Washington correspondent. “There are no involved sentences–all are direct, hard and intentional blows… .If the so-called conservative wing of the Democratic party persists in bucking the President. on his every move from now on, the adverse committee report may well prove their document of secession.”[21]

The Supreme Court Historical Society

This point marks the 50 year exodus of “centrist” conservatives from the DNC that is now the Marxist Party.
DNC=MNC “menace”

LOL. After the 2004 loss, the Dems came to the inescapable conclusion that what they needed was, “More waffles!”

AMAZING.
When Obama changes his mind, it is a flip flop
When McCain changes his mind it is a an evolving policy correction.

Both are champions at flip flopping (or policy correctiong), but while the Captain was great at pointing these McCain flip flops back in the days of the CQ, well, not so much today.

What is amazing is that you can’t see the difference between pandering and actually evaluating a position and making a decision to change.
It is called discernment, something the Dems lack.
Oil goes up, we need to make a change, change our course because of events…Dems won’t change their course.
See the difference? It is called adaptation, being open minded, reacting to the changing course in history.
It is called leadership…
Now tell me again what plan the Pelosi led congress enacted this past year that helped us with our energy crisis?
