BLATANT HYPOCRITE: But Where's the Media on Obama's Gun Flip Flop??

It does not get any more blatant than this; on one of these two occasions, Barack Obama was lying. Period.

A) Today??? (emphasis mine):
"Obama Clarifies Position..."

Is that becoming a familiar headline, or what? I hope someone is compiling them all. Today, it was the Supreme Court's gun decision: "Obama clarifies position on D.C. gun ban":

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama Thursday sought to clarify his position on a Supreme Court ruling striking down a Washington gun ban. ***

When asked about his reaction, Obama disputed the one outlined earlier by his campaign, ABC News reported.

When a reporter noted in November that the District's handgun law was constitutional, Obama distanced himself from the campaign, the network reported.

"I don't know what my aide said but I've been very consistent, I teach constitutional law," Obama said. "What I said was that I believe Second Amendment as being an individual right and have said that consistently. I also think that individual right is constrained by the rights of the community to maintain issues with public safety. I don't think those two principles are contradictory and in fact what I've been saying consistently is what the Supreme Court essentially said today."

Which is a ludicrous claim, even by Obama's standards. Here's an idea, though: maybe as part of this year's campaign, we could have a debate between Obama and his campaign staff;

or, B) February 11 of this year???:



So... AGAIN, for what, the 10th time since the campaign began, he throws another staffer under his Campaign Bus??? And they are actually buying it...

This is "a new kind of politics"???

('Meet the new boss, same as the Old boss...')
