Yet Another Major Obama Flip-Flop

Lately he's knocking McCain for supporting the Bear-Sterns "bailout."

At the time, he said it was different than a bailout -- he said it was intended (as it was) to forestall a "domino effect" that could have taken out the entire financial system in the US -- and that he would not "challenge" it.

But now that that crisis seems averted, he feels free to change his old position and attack McCain for a "bailout."

You're not supposed to say this, of course.... but Barack Obama is dumb. He just doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about most of the time -- pretty much any time he moves away from childish slogans about hope and change.

Is he being treated differently because he's a liberal, or because he's black? Probably both.

I do know that George W. Bush would have been crucified -- and frequently was crucified, come to think of it -- for similar demonstrations of a paper-thin comprehension of major issues.

Thanks to liberrocky.

Oh, and Then There's This: CountryWide, the subprime lender, used to be a big bugaboo in Obama's stump speech. Not any more.

Don't worry -- it's just a distraction, and the guy from CountryWide working for him is just an "informal" adviser or something. You know, what they always are when they say or do something that hurts Obama.
