Obama "refines" his position on issues, then blames the media for calling him on it...

On Thursday, July 3rd Obama made a statement that in the future, after visiting Iraq and talking to the generals on the ground that he may "refine" his position in Iraq. Fine. I personally don't have a problem with that statement. Except to say that maybe he should go visit Iraq now since he never has and he's been destroying our efforts there for years. But I digress...

The Left Wing though; Iraq is THE issue. We have to get out NOW. That is what Obama has been running on. That was the primary difference between him and the other candidates. He never voted for it, he never supported it, and he advocated getting out immediately. Then he makes these comments about how his position may be refined. So, the media starts talking about it and people stop freaking out and Obama has to hold another press conference on the same day to clarify his remarks.

So, he reiterated his position of removing troops within sixteen months. But then he went out there and blamed the media for analyzing every single word he says. Excuse me sir, but you have thrown yourself out there to run for the Presidency. Everything the President says is analyzed. This is one gigantic job interview your in now and everything you say in an interview is heard and talked about seriously. You have held yourself out there as the greatest communicator in a generation, so don't blame the media for not letting you get away with clearly trying to change from a major position that you ran on.

The truth is Obama, we know that there's a better than even chance that you will NOT remove the troops that fast and you know it too. But, you are terrified of letting the cooky left figure that out because that is the primary thing you ran on. So why don't you show some back bone, stick to your lie, and not blame the media when they call you on altering your positions during this general election. They already let you get away with altering your position on gun control, NAFTA, and abortion. But they are NOT going to let you get away with moving on Iraq. Not until you get elected at least.
