Obama's Implausible Deniability When Obama invoked the word CHANGE and made CHANGE his core message, who knew that the CHANGE would be his CHANGING positions, his CHANGING of history, his CHANGING his story?
Skittish Obambi yet again twists, inverts, and backs away from what he previously said (think Jerusalem). This guy is has no sign, no real epistemology, a constantly shifting premise.
Obama Campaign Continues to Deny Obama's Position on the Surge John McCormack, The Weekly Standard blog
Last Friday, David Axelrod said that Barack Obama "never disputed the fact that if you throw a surge of American soldiers in an area that you can make a difference." Yesterday, as the McCain campaign pointed out in an email, Obama's communications director Robert Gibbs said that "there's no doubt that the security situation has improved, much as everybody admitted it would if we put more troops on the ground." Frederick W. Kagan recalls that, in fact, Obama predicted the surge would increase the level of sectarian violence in Iraq:
In the media, Obama repeatedly predicted that the surge would fail. The day the president announced the new policy, Obama told Larry King he "did not see anything" in the president's surge that would "make a significant dent in the sectarian violence." The same day, he said on MSNBC,
I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence there. In fact, I think it will do the reverse. I think it takes pressure off the Iraqis to arrive at the sort of political accommodation that every observer believes is the ultimate solution to the problems we face there. So I am going to actively oppose the president's proposal.... I think he is wrong, and I think the American people believe he's wrong.
Four days later, Obama told Face the Nation, "We cannot impose a military solution on what has effectively become a civil war. And until we acknowledge that reality--we can send 15,000 more troops, 20,000 more troops, 30,000 more troops, I don't know any expert on the region or any military officer that I've spoken to privately that believes that that is going to make a substantial difference on the situation on the ground.
He would bring change...but not the kind any red-blooded American who values our liberty and constitutional foundation seeks for. In fact, if any external enemy tried to force such change as he would bring on us, there would be a world war to prevent it.
between his website and his past words in this campaign and earlier, there is more than enough to cook his goose. Hopefully, the GOP is prepared. His election will set our party back, as there will be a marxist in the bully pulpit for years and decades to come.
