Obama Outraged at Being Accused of Not Supporting Something He Doesn’t Support

Obama Outraged at Being Accused of Not Supporting Something He Doesn’t Support

Obama, on the trail in New Mexico, had this to say of McCain:

“And today he accused me of not supporting what the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Bank did with AIG despite no evidence whatsoever that that’s what I had said.”

To recap, when I wrote earlier today that Obama supported the bailout, I quickly was instructed by his staff that this was not the case. He just didn’t oppose it, I was told.

Now he’s so adamant about not opposing the Fed’s move that he’s complaining about McCain’s portrayal.

Where, I wonder, is the line between not opposing and, ya know, supporting.

VIEIRA: But now we have this mess, Senator. Do you think that AIG should be bailed out by the federal government?

BIDEN: No, I don't think they should be bailed out by the federal government.

So it seems Biden is against it, and Obama indecisive as ever, still hasnt made up his mind and is voting PRESENT.

Where is independent drug test that shows Obama to be crack-free?

This radical nutjob just cannot get his own position straight, but he cannot change his positions fast enough just to oppose his opposition.

A total lack of conviction, position, and committment to anything that is America. Total fraud.

The election of Obama will turn this country into the biggest joke in the world! The whole world loves Obama because they know that he’s going to surrender the US to the rest of the world. The world will laugh at Americans for electing a President that vote “PRESENT” more often then YES/NO.

What a sad state we are in.

And this is the man Libertarians Ron Paul and Bob Barr would rather let this moron win the presidency than put their inflated egos aside.

OK, I’m confused now. Obama, just go away. Knowing all the sheeple that will vote for you is an embarrassment to this country.

I’m still trying to figure out how Obama, the Muslim Messiah, can get a security clearance when he associates with domestic terrorist scum and the Chicago mob.

Unless his doctors up his Lexapro prescription he is likely to really show his a$$ tomorrow after the taunting Gov Palin delivered tonight on Hannity's show.

Can't wait.

He should have taken the rest of the day off after he delivered the line about McCain unable to decide if he is another Barry Goldwater or a Dennis Kucinich .

This guy is supposed to be brilliant and sophisticated. Well, let me opine that he is not at all brilliant and that his sophistication level is one step above a carp.

This is Georgia redux. Sitting on the fence, taking a Do Nothing neutral position. Just instead of national security, it is the Economy.

Honestly, without the teleprompter Obie sounds robotic and seems to be searching for words. Beginning to wonder if he is on some sort of phychotrophic drugs.

Thanks for the clarification.

This isn't going to sit well with the woman hating Obie. He'll show his a$$ big time tomorrow.
