Obama thows Murtha/Code Pink/Harry Ried/Pelosi/(insert other lipwrist lefties here) under the bus.

fueled speculation that he might not be wedded to his timetable

Now that's funny. Anyone who has paid more than a second of attention to what he says knows that the only thing Obama is wedded to is whatever might get more fawning adoration at that moment.

It's nice to see the media is finally starting to take a serious look at this man. Here's another from the Boston Globe on subsidized housing.

His handlers must have started telling him the facts of life.

Whenever politicians start a sentence with "I've always said", they mean "I am about to water down or reverse myself on something that I led you to believe in the past."

Obama reminds me of Paul Martin that way.

It is almost becoming an American version of Turdeaupia. The cammoring masses will hear only what he says to that particular group, not what he had said or promised before or in the future. This "second coming" could screw up the US more than even the peanutty farmer did.

If somehow the almighty O gets into the whitehouse and shifty green dijon gets into 24 Sussex then you can look for me somewhere on some tropical isle where if it is a banana republic at least they can grow their own bananas.

A few days prior to this he stated he wanted an "honourable end" to the Iraq war which seemed a change in tone to me. I figured that was the signal he was chucking yet another principle aside. The nutroots seem convinced it's just a ruse to fool the right wing, though.

Obama needs another bus or two. Reality is imposing itself on this 'talking suit' as it eventually does but alas for the leftards, small pimple heads are exploding all over America for now he has a new handle: 'traitor'. He may not win now.

Obama also used that horrible "S" word this week, suggesting that before American troops leave, Iraq must be "Stable".

O.Hussein will stay in Iraq now that stability and improvements are such that he might be able to withdraw half or more of the troups during his first (And hopefully last) term. Of course he and the Dem(ons) will take all the laurels for winning that war later.

I also agree that he might not make it to the White House too. The fanning and the adulation honeymoon is pretty much over and although the media will be relitively kinder on him than on McCain, Hussein will be grilled more and more before vote day.
Sanity might prevail but I won't hold my breath as I think the West is on a steep decline and accelarating daily.

Here at home let's keep working hard to keep Dion out of 24 Sussex otherwise it will be game over.

What guarantee do his followers have that once he gets into the WH he wont change his mind(s) again. He is getting as bad as Dion, needing someone to tell us what he meant to say.
Americans better wake up before Nov. I would bet a whole dollar that people named Clinton and their supporters will see to it that every flip will be published on the net.

Obama doing his lame utterances followed by immediate reversals is a daily event, but, notice how the MSM ignores it completely. Yes, he is the Annointed Ones, as vacuous as the lefty media.

let's just pray there are enough US voters not completely brain dead thanks to the media and our increasingly dumbed down schools that will see through this slick little Oprahtized and media sanitized weasel.

Penny,
I am still not sure if you like him.. or not!

Change you can believe in...

Yah right! He's just another politician out to grab power for himself, and even worse - a typical Chicago politician - just as dirty as the rest.

The leftards got snookered again!

"The pace of withdrawal would be dictated by the safety and stability of our troops"

Maybe he's just worried about the ones from Detroit, and thinks they are safer in Baghdad . . . . .

Seriously, he looks at his opponent at the time, judges what the public will like better, puts forth vague statements that will have general appeal, defeat opponent, repeat strategy.

He can throw his "Birth Certificate" under the bus too.

Obama never could pull the troops out as he'd promised. The only surprise is how the anti-war/Iraq crowd can be pacified so easily. Not even socialists take them seriously, they are just a tool of the left, just as ALL of the vocal minorities are. All tools are expendable and inevitably will be cut loose or replaced with a better tool. The Dem's will default back to the anti-war rhetoric after they lose the election in November. It's the same old song!

This was turning into a non interest election as Obama was running away with it. Election coverage ratings were falling.

The MSM is trying to close the gap and bring back the interst.

At Atlas Shrugs, as tipped by Sounder above, in the last a suggestion is made that the Obamasiah may be INELIGIBLE to be President:

"Chad wrote me with these questions, apparently he received this from came from a USNA alumnus. It'll be interesting to see how the media handle this

Barack Obama is not a legal U.S. natural-born citizen according to the law on the books at the time of his birth, which falls between December 24, 1952, to November 13, 1986. Federal Law requires that the office of President requires a natural-born citizen if the child was not born to two U.S. Citizen parents. This is what exempts John McCain, though he was born in the US Panama Canal Zone.

US Law very clearly states: '. . . If only one parent is a U.S. Citizen at the time of one's birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for minimum ten years, five of which must be after the age of 16.' Barack Obama's father was not a U.S. Citizen is a fact.

Obama's mother was only 18 when Obama was born. This means even though she had been a U.S. Citizen for 10 years, (or citizen of Hawaii being a territory), his mother fails the test for at-least-5-years- prior-to Barack Obama's birth, but-after-age-16.

In essence, Mother alone is not old enough to qualify her son for automatic U.S. Citizenship. At most, 2 years elapsed from his mother turning 16 to the time of Barack Obama's birth when she was 18. His mother would have needed to have been 16 + 5 = 21 years old at the time of Barack Obama's birth for him to be a natural-born citizen. Barack Obama was already 3 years old at the time his mother would have needed to be to allow him natural citizenship from his only U.S. Citizen parent. Obama should have been naturalized as a citizen . . but that would disqualify him from holding the office.

The Constitution clearly declares: Naturalized citizens are ineligible to hold the office of President. Though Barack Obama was sent back to Hawaii at age 10, any other information does not matter because his mother is the one who must fulfill the requirement to be a U.S. Citzen for 10 years prior to his birth on August 4, 1961, with 5 of those years being after age 16.

Further, Obama may have had to have remained in the USA for some time frame to protect any citizenship he might have had, rather than living in Indonesia. This is very clear cut and a glaring violation of U.S. Election law. I think the Governor Schwarzenegger of California should be very interested in discovering if Obama is allowed to be elected President without being a natural-born U.S. Citizen, since this would set a precedent. Stay tuned to your TV sets because I suspect some of this information will be leaking through over the next several days."

Boy, this could get interesting!

The guy re-iterated yesterday that he's going to take the troops out of Iraq 1 or 2 brigades per month till they're all out in 16 months. Hard to get any clearer than that.

But the sitemistress here needs to keep her flock fed,so whatevs - post anything and hope it sticks, I guess.

...wanted an "honourable end" to the Iraq war...

This surely implies that the whole thing is a "quagmire" and it is necessary to "save face" while walking away. Sorry, I call weasel wordism.

He's already backtracked from his back track.

This man's goal is to become president. He will throw anyone under the bus to get there. He has no thought in his head; no reason for doing it other than ego.

It is his backers who have the motives; the plan; he is just the vacuous suit dressing. Except, that, when in power, his ego and elite brainlessness will create terrible problems; and that's not even addressing the damage the motivated backers will attempt.

Again: the guy said from the beginning he was going to take the troops out over a 16 month period.

He reiterated it the other day.

Is that so hard to understand, or are you being wilfully ignorant?

I know it's hard for you guys to get a toehold these days but come on.
