What was that you said? I couldn't quite understand you with your lips so firmly planted on Obamas anus.
Ah yes, that's right Obama is "refining" his Iraq policy without changing it. Tell us, how exactly does someone refine (synonym for change) a policy without changing it? Only a hack of monumental proportions could regurgitate that fetid Kool-Aid.
The truth is Obama spent the entire primary one-upping the other Democrat nominees over who would withdraw troops fastest. He spent the past two years arguing against the surge which has been enormously successful, and arguing for pulling out immediately, leaving Iraq to collapse into civil/regional war and genocide as al Qaeda, insurgents, Saddams former Ba'athists and Iran fight for control of the world's second largest oil reserves. AH, but he promised he would send troops back IN if that happened, which it was assured to.
It's no wonder he is reverting back to his 2004 position, which was that he wouldnt do anything differently than Bush and Republicans are doing. Because Bush, McCain and Republicans were right and Obama, as usual, was wrong.

Flip flopper. Learn it, live it, love it. That is what Obama is. Your such an Obama troll.
thank you very much for clearing up this matter as i said all along he did not flip flop looks like ny times are for mccain even though you dont like obama that is very unprofessional to report lies or twist the journalist jobs are to report the truth not side with a canidate
The reporting presented to us by the news media and the AP is getting to the point of dangerous.
Their distortions, mis-reporting and exaggerations are making victims of the listeners, watchers, readers.
There is absolutely no integrity left.
They are interested in only sensationalizing, not truth, policies or being unbiased.
We need to stop them, but how??
Thanks for clearing that up. I was there with you all along
As for the cooment about "judgment day and our every word being callabrated"
I just thank God that He sent me to Buddhism
Obama said during the primaries "he would end the war on day one and bring ALL THE TROOPS HOME" Now he almost has McCain's position on the war. I cannot believe I votedforthis guy over Hilliary. What a big mistake
Unfortunately the Traditional media is so busy ginning up stories to create conflict or is enamored of the shallow that to report the facts, to do any legwork or to not take sides is something they are incapable of doing anymore.
They blame the public, saying it is what we want, when in truth we have been complaining for years about the cotton candy coverage of the election.
For some reason they decided to get bug up them over Obama the past few weeks and have been merciless in their faux stories trying to portray him as McSprinkles wants.
maybe because the bulk of the media is still in love with McSprinkles, with the AP leading the pack in their love letters.
Its sad I have to thank a reporter for reporting the facts but here we are.The AP now now has Rupert Murdock as a board member.This addition to a group that a few months ago gave John McCain a standing ovation and later that day sat on their hands when Obama was introduced, is very troubling for our country.You would think after the job the press didnt do during the run up to Iraq,they would put their bias away and report the facts.It looks like the years of cultivating the press with free BBQs and booze is paying off for McCain.
I commend you for writing this article. I felt it was a travesty that Obama's words were reported as a flip-flop, but it seems that anything that negatively impacts Obama is blown way out of proportion as opposed to McCain who is hardly even mentioned. For example, the media's constant articles on Obama's not taking public financing was ridiculous because he said he would try to pursue an agreement with John McCain -- nothing legally binding and both parties would have to agree -- this was not accepted by the press though and they proceeded to label Obama as a flip-flopper. McCain on the other hand, was legally obligated to using public financing in the primaries by taking a loan, then he really did flip-flop and used private money -- this is a much bigger story that what Obama did because it has legal implications. Yet it was not even pursued vigorously by the press. But then again, the press wants controversy over someone who at least knows about "the internets" and the media will continue along this pathetic path because of ratings, at the cost of honest reporting, because We the People will click or view Barack Obama and not John McCain.
We are taught that on Judgment Day every single word will be measured with absolute calibration. Since no one knows when he day will come our duty is to achieve absolute accuracy and precision lest we do irreparable harm to ourselves.
Thanks very much for the sober article. I am rather baffled at some of the reporting. I regard myself as a progressive (more centrist than liberal). However, I am surprised by the venom emanating from the New York Times. It appears Paul Krugman is writing all the editorials. Let's we forget, Paul hounded Barack Obama over the primaries regarding healthcare mandates. He sounded like a broken record. The New York Times and other progressive publications sound broken too.
