Barack Obama was yesterday fending off charges from right and left that he had abandoned the core premise of his candidacy - the withdrawal of all US combat forces from Iraq within 16 months of taking office - in an attempt to attract voters from the political centre.

See? Even the now-senile “grey lady” is weighing in on what a loser Barack Hussein Obama really is.

He blames ANYBODY but himself for everything.

Cowards like Obama make me sick. He’s one of those moronic dumbasses who thinks that freedom just happens. Poof!* Freedom.

Obama is a charlatan, an abject, probably pathological liar, a militant anti-American and an abject marxist.

"I have said throughout this campaign that this war . . .needs to come to an end."

Yup. Same as McCain. Except that McCain thinks we should WIN and Hopey Changey thinks we should run away. Or he did, until he started flip-flopping so fast even his most devout followers can't keep up.

Like Rush said, if you are in the center you have no core principle.

Another classic case of trying to run with the rabbits and hunt with the hounds, imo. (on many issues lately). Even his cheerleaders in the press seem to be confused.

Although this could come back to bite him in the ‘ear later, I fear his supporters don’t listen to the true message and will vote for him anyway.

Obama is a racist loser whore and the majority of the American people will teach him a lesson.

He is the symbol for defeat in Iraq.

"There appears to be no issue that Barack Obama is not willing to reverse himself on for the sake of political expedience. This is the change he promised , This reality of his so called change, shows him to be a typical lying liberal politician."

"You can be sure there will never be any clear answers from Obama on any critical issue. He is quite comfortable taking positions that contradict each other. Sadly, his inconsistent and dishonest positions are perfectly acceptable to his Obamabot cult members, who blindly follow him."

Instead of the change candidate, Hussein ObamaMessiaHamas, will be known as the Ooops Uh Flip-Flop Candidate, who couldn't tell the truth!

Quit your whining about my Flip Flops, Waffling and Lies, you God Loving, Gun owning and Bitter White Racist Patriots!

Damn Pajama Media. They won’t let me get by with my lies and flip flopping.

Was this one a flip or a flop? He is doing so many that I have lost track. BTW, didn’t some liberal news lady defend him when he flipped last time on the war and claim he never said he would have the troops out in 16 months? Wonder what she will say now?

Thanks, but it’s not original with me. I read it on a thread here a few weeks ago and thought it was great.
