Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Wednesday said Iran is a "great threat" and called for tighter sanctions after it test-fired nine missiles.

"Iran is a great threat. We have to make sure we are working with our allies to apply tightened pressure on Iran," the Illinois senator, who will face Republican John McCain in the November election, said on ABC's "Good Morning America."

A couple of weeks ago, Barry said Iran and North Korea were no threat to the US. He is pathetic.

Wait a minute. I thought Iran was a little country and no threat at all. What is going on here?

Wasn't to long ago Hussein ridiculed anyone believing Iran was a threat claiming they were a small country and never would be able to pose a real threat to us.

This guy raises being “full of sh*t” to new levels.

Another Barack-Track (I do not take credit for the moniker someone on Lucianne.com came up with it)just a month or so ago Barack declared in a speech that Iran was a tiny nation and of no threat to us.

Yep, no threat. Obama is such an empty-suit in every way possible that I can't believe the MSM gives him 2 seconds of their time unless they're on a suicide mission.

A couple of weeks ago, Barry said Iran and North Korea were no threat to the US. He is pathetic. .

"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 Bitter God Loving, Gun owning White Racist Patriots!

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

Now Now Guy’s Iran is just now realizing that they American’s might elect Obama and they are concerned that he will turn his back on Islam. So why not shoot a coulple of test missles and see his reaction. Does he appease them or does he saber rattle. Well Barack the politician called George Soro’s and got the wink this time to saber rattle.

Changes
David Bowie

Oh yeah
Mm
Still dont know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets and
Every time I thought Id got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But Ive never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
Im much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes
Dont want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I cant trace time

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
So the days float through my eyes
But stil the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
Theyre quite aware of what theyre going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes
Dont tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes
Wheres your shame
Youve left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you cant trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Ah changes are taking the pace Im going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes
Oh, look out you rock n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes
Pretty soon now youre gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I cant trace time
I said that time may change me
But I cant trace time

"I think what this underscores is the need for us to create a kind of policy that is putting the burden on Iran to change behavior, and frankly we just have not been able to do that over the last several years,"

We have to make sure we are working with our allies to apply tightened pressure on Iran,"

In one interview, this guy shows how inept he is. First he says that sanctions don't work and he follows that with his policy to solve the problem...sanctions. Uh...Senator...if sanctions haven't worked in the past, why are you proposing them now as your solution to the problem? Your solution to high fuel prices is the same windfall profits tax Jimmy Carter tried 30 years ago...and failed. Oh come on...surely a Harvard man can come up with at least one new idea that has some positive probability of success.

Nothing like a huge learning curve to keep someone on his toes! He is so in over his head. But what can we expect from a party that thinks superficiality and image aimed at their dumbed-down masses is more important than substance?
