flip-flop

So I guess Obama has at least partially flip-flopped on drilling.  Given his previously strong statements against it, we can not allow him to get away with it.

If, by some happy chance, someone with contacts to the RNC or the McCain campaign is reading this, here's some possibilities for new attack ads:

The annointed one, Barack Obama, proclaimed his opposition to offshore drilling

(play montage of Obama statements)

until he had a new revelation in Florida two days later...

(play new Obama comments)

Barack Obama: False Prophet, or shameless panderer?

OR

Barack Obama opposed offshore drilling

(play montage)

until he realized that the poll numbers didn't agree (show poll numbers)

(play comments)

Barack Obama: In touch with the polls. Out of touch with the American people.

OR

Barack Obama said offshore drilling would be bad for America

(play montage)

but then the citizen of the world changed his mind again

(play comments)

Barack Obama: Politics first. Country second. 

Or something like that.  I don't know if it is too "harsh" to run. 

Either way, he shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.  The only reason I wouldn't run it is if it obscures the fact that it is a partial flip-flop.  But the whole thing is pretty obscure already.

Mike Allen reported in the Politico today that Barack Obama may be changing positions on yet another issue; Iraq. Nonetheless, what is telling about this revelation isn't Obama's lack of honesty, but rather an acknowledgement from his campaign that Iraq may not be the disaster many Democrats claim it to be.

Of course, the Obama spin machine, as quoted in the article, is claiming that Obama has maintained a consistent position on Iraq. As usual, the facts say otherwise. In more than one debate during the primary season, Obama pledged to begin withdrawing from Iraq "from day one".

Now that Obama may be coming around on Iraq, or is doing so for the time being, the question should be asked whether or not the antiwar Left will stand behind a candidate whose campaign seemingly now advocates a position on Iraq not far off from that of John McCain.
