The man never ceases to amaze. When 72 senators voted for a “sense of the Senate” resolution last year rejecting the moveon.org ad rhyming (Gen.) Petraeus with “betray us,” O. took a pass, though he voted on two other bills that day, explaining:
“The focus of the United States Senate should be on ending this war, not on criticizing newspaper advertisements,” Mr. Obama said. “This amendment was a stunt designed only to score cheap political points while what we should be doing is focusing on the deadly serious challenge we face in Iraq.”
But the other day in Independence, Missouri, when he came out as a patriot, he bemoaned the fact that “a general providing his best counsel on how to move forward in Iraq was accused of betrayal.”
“That was then,” says Kim Strassel in Wall St. Journal’s Political Diary
— back when Mr. Obama was apparently eager not to ruffle the Netroots activists. This is now — with the MoveOn.org endorsement firmly in hand, Mr. Obama evidently feels free to pander in the opposite direction. Mr. Obama is certainly serving up the audacity of something, but I wouldn’t call it hope.
He’s got brass. But as for balls, can you imagine him confronting an international enemy with something he believes in that goes against the polls? This will be the Obama security problem — not the leftist friends who can’t count on him but his firm determination to do anything that preserves popularity.

He;s a man utterly without principle — a true Marxist and/or Muslim — lying to achieve one’s ends is acceptable (for Muslims it’s ok to lie to unbelievers).
