Obama refuses to accept flip-flop description
Seoul News.Net
Tuesday 8th July, 2008
Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama has rejected charges that he has shifted positions on Iraq and other issues.
Recently, he softened an earlier vow to reopen the North American Free Trade Agreement, would not oppose a Supreme Court decision striking down Washington's gun ban and said he would support expanding the government's wiretap program.
Recently, he suggested he might leave some troops in Iraq, after starting his campaign with the promise to pull all troops out.
Asked about his Iraq policy, Obama rejected claims he was softening his insistence on a total withdrawal by saying: "You know, the people who say this apparently haven't been listening to me."
He also said he would counter the arguments of anyone who said he had been "shifting to the center or that I'm flip-flopping or this or that."
Political analysts believe Obama is attempting to position himself closer to the center in hopes of winning over independent voters, moderate Democrats and some Republican voters who have grown disenchanted with Bush politics.

Obama refuses to accept flip-flop description
Early on we heard an Obama looking to 'solve' the ills.
His statement of 'expanding the deterioration of the Constitution by taking away the Peoples Rights under the argument he is making life safer for them is at best a lie!
A lie means he knows the truth, but is bent on continuing the strip minning of the elites. That’s clear as to the side he is now choosing!
At worst, do we have a man with extensive education that cannot find the truth with all the resources he has at his command as a senator and a presumptive presidential candidate? Is he really that inept?
I believe he has flopped! And the previous flip was the decision to go for campaign bribes!

Iran just sent 9 missiles test warming to show off Obama's sour grapes -- "Shahab-3"
American people now can tell how silly and childish a negro Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s Iran policy is (and will be); the Iranian “Shahab-3” missile tested successfully with 0.005 error-bounding is NOT the 2008 US Presidential Hopeful Sen. JOHN McCAIN’s sour grapes, the hereafter McCAIN administration has never under-estimate Iranian military sciences and nuclear/missile development; however US defensive and offensive security under 2009 McCAIN administration in White House; the TMD system within Israel and Saudi Arabia and other US alliances are mature enough. GOD BLESS AMERICA !!

And the 'failed policies' of the military AWOLer...
... , will be continued under the crash corrigan wanabe should the 10:18am poster have his way!
Hopefully at least one of the two coming conventions will stand up and say the presumptive candidate is 'not good enpough!'
And the Convention will be opened up! A candidate then picked based on the all the candidates are saying and have said!
