Sen. Barack Obama, speaking on board his campaign plane as it headed to St. Louis on Saturday, continued to defend his position on Iraq — and questioned reporters' parsing of his words.

"I am surprised at how … the press … I'm not trying to dump on you guys, but I'm surprised at how finely calibrated every single word was measured," Obama said.

The only thing that would cause them to turn is if he screws up and they have no choice. If he was 20 points behind McCain I think they would lash out but barring that, I doubt it would happen.

He's trying to throw them under the bus!

Obama has been consistently non-comprehending.

There’s some signs that the NYT is finally “waking up”, but they really like that flavor of kool-aid.

but I'm surprised at how finely calibrated every single word was measured," Obama said.

Kinda reminds me of a song about a sweet young thing who traveled to the big city and became a president.

Will the Democrats supporting him see through his perfidies?

They saw through Bill Clinton's. They just didn't care. They won't care now either. The end justifies the means, and their end is to put a democrat in the White House.

(I am surprised at how … the press … I’m not trying to dump on you guys, but I’m surprised at how finely calibrated every single word was measured,” Obama said.)

Obama wants to be the leader of the greatest nation on earth and he thinks the press may be too finely examining his words during a campaign?
This alone should disqualify him

"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.

There's a certain consistency to a sine wave also. I'd say is stance on key issues runs at about 100 kHz.

“...how finely calibrated every single word was measured.”

As in truth v lies?

My *BS Meter* is pegging at ***Steaming Pile!***

Poor, poor Barry Hussein Obama-Osama-Lama-Ding-Dong is being scrutinized, and held to account for his “words, just words...”

I could swear that Obama had once said “Remove the troops now” and nothing of the 16 months he now advocates. (who knows, maybe we won’t need to be there in 16 months anyway) Now, he is “refining” his policy once again.

My brother is going to vote for this clown, on this issue alone. It’s hard to beleive he can’t see the duplicity of this guy.

They might - the press critters can dish it out, but they are worst babies when the tide is turned - especially by someone whose boots they have been licking.

They will feel he owes them for all the pimping -they will not be happy at getting slapped down by someone they feel they have created
