Obama Eager to Distance Self from Campaign’s Former Position on DC Handgun Ban

Does Obama hold any principle on his own? He seems to refrain himself from making hard decisions and forming strong opinions until he finds out what is more politically beneficial for him to say.
There is a pattern emerging — his 130 present votes, his gun control position, his FISA, his NAFTA, how many more are coming?

Barack Obama is a lawyer. They can argue pro, con, whatever you want. He wants to be elected President and will be distancing himself from his previous positions from now to November (John McCain is busy doing the same). I’ll vote for Obama anyway, since Senator Hothead terrifies me.

The man does not really stand for anything. As far as it can be figured out, he does believe in higher taxes and then sending that money to the United Nations for poverty relief. Those are the only two issues he hasn’t changed on. He thinks Americans have too much money, enjoy too many benefits of “wealth” like our abundance of food and energy expensive lifestyles. He has the audacity to hope to change that without anyone realizing what he believes in.

Steve
2nd amendment in the US Constitution says
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
If Obama can not understand what this means he is not smarter than 5th grader.
thouse 4 judges are liberals and want to write their own law.

Obama is like the wind, it changes day-to-day. I guess this is the “change”.

Gee Imagine that !!! Ole Bam Bam changes his position again and again and again on everything from guns, to Nafta , to financing to about 20 other things. Yep this is the change we can believe in for SURE ….Obama will CHANGE his position over and over again..thats the change we r suppose to trust ?? What a fairy tale !!! If America is stupid enough to vote for this snake oil salesman it deserves the downfall it will get. bushie has us teetering on the edge of the cliff and ole Barry will push us off and then support his Midddle Eastern friends and FINANCIAL backers..Wake up america !!

The 2nd Amendment says nothing of personal security, only the security of a free state. It’s pretty easy to interpret. We now have an army to defend us and we don’t need guns in our houses. Attention people, England is not going to invade us any time soon!!

Jake Tapper
I have a great respect for you. Can you do some research on Obama’s Birth Certificate. It does not have any signatures.

Steve…..that’s the real thing here. Republicans only want a Constitution and laws when it’s interpretation agrees with their point of view.

We have many freedoms of choices in this country – the freedom to choose to own a gun is one of them. The freedom to choose whether or not to have an abortion is another, so is the freedom to choose a religion. No matter how we personally feel about any of them, the minute one is taken away, it’s only a matter of time before the rest of our freedoms are in jeopardy. Then we’re no longer a Democracy. The Supreme Court could make no other decision.

Let’s see…what is this really green guy going to distance himself from?

I hope someone is keeping track of Obama’s morphing. Pretty soon this dangerous wolf in sheeps clothing will be fully exposed.

Oprahma: The great baloney slicer. He talks; that is about all he does, ad naseum. What does he ‘stand for’? Flip flopping on issues is not an admirable trait. Trying to ‘sound like a President’ before elected is about as pompous as one can get; right after standing behind a ‘fake Oprahma Presidential seal’. I am still laughing about that one. He should fire the ad wizard that came up with that idea.

as someone else pointed out then whats mccains reasoning behind his flip flops if hes 70 years old?

Barack Hussein Obama does not hold the African-American dreams and hopes at heart. His father was an African radical who wanted the imperialist countries to suffer for what they had done. Obama will carry on his father’s dreams and the American people will suffer. America, wake up!!!

Good answer Obama.
I really think that Obama got VERY LUCKY with this ruling. This essentially takes this issue off the table for the Fall.
If the Supreme Court had ruled the opposite than that would have gotten gun rights activists UP IN ARMS in swing states ie Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, etc. That would have rallied that faction. Now that the Supreme Court ruled in their favor, there isn’t anything to rally about.
Furthermore, Scalia’s own wording on the case was used by Obama allowing Obama to straddle the issue that he is for the 2nd amendment but individual communities can restrict gun laws. Thus his “what works in Chicago may not work in Cheyenne” comment.
Obama was able to take a more centrist approach.

Honestly now: Do you think he will change his position on; Abortion,Drilling,Irag,Socialism,etc?

The fact that Barack Hussein Obama made the decision to join a black liberation church as a young adult, and remain there for 20 years,is all I ever needed to know. The rest of his flip flops, broken promises, and contradictions are par for the course. No way Nobama

I am not a gun lover or gun fan, but you have to know what the Constitution refers to when it was written. Back then, as Great Britian was starting to see things like the Boston Tea Party and other events, they decided to crack down and put their army in the cities and anyone caught with a gun was imprisoned. The whole part about Due Process (putting someone in jail and not giving a trail, like Gitmo) and gun ownership, is because our founding fathers new that power corrupts. Every president gets smaller and weaker and yet takes more and more. They new that since NO civilization has lasted more than 200 years, eventually our government would need to be thrown out. We might replace it with a democracy, just different fools. Remember this as we are in our last 50 years as a superpower. India, will become the next SuperPowers.

Stonecreek -
Obama had a paid position on the board of the Joyce Foundation, which is an anti-gun, anti-second amendment organization. What more do you need to know? It doesn’t matter what he has said in the past because he will change, deny or blame his aides for not representing what he has said/believes. It’s very convenient for him to do so. Look at the boards he has served on, look at his voting record and look at the people and organizations he has associated himself with. Do the same for McCain. That is how you learn about a candidate what they truly represent, not by what they say because they will say anything they have to to get elected.

Whichever way the wind blows, Senator.

hey rex, news flash, the bill of rights is all about personal security and freedoms. what part of “shall not be infringed” don’t you understand?

Rational voter that’s what the Dem’s have been doing for years now. They’ll put a bunch of their pet projects on a war funding bill so either they get their pork or if Bush vetos it they’ll say he’s against the troops. The democrats are the dirtiest people on earth.
McCain ’08

Run Obama run
when it meets your needs
we should all be very afraid
of what will come if he is elected

BHO will do and say anything. Whoever is running BHO, needs to tell him to get his act together. I’m furious about his remarks saying ‘Republicans will try to make you afraid, etc. ……..Did I mention he’s black’ All of this racism, all of this sexism that the Republicans are supposedly guilty of were in full display during the Democratic primary. We haven’t even said anything…and he’s already accusing us??? John McCain is trying to get away from all this, and BHO keeps bringing it up. Who in the Republican party is mentioning this…the only person I hear mentioning it is BHO…. Oh yea…he’s really trying to bring unity to our country. I am a Republican and lots of my friends, and we am not racist, sexist or anything he mentioned. I hate when people categorize by groups. There are a lot of generous, good hearted Republicans out there, and I despise BHO’s comments. I still don’t know what issues BHO stands for….I hope I find out in the future debates. It’s all generalized, and I don’t hear specific points on how he is going to CHANGE things. As far as is political party, he’s brining in old Clinton advisors. Let’s see a new group of politicians. I want to see the CHANGE??

let me tell you something INDEPENDENT i am independent and JOHN MCCAIN WILL NEVER GET ME MY FAMILY OR MY FRIENDS VOTE so dont get to confident

no argument from anyone about mccains flip flops… just because you ignore them doesnt mean they arent there

What we need to ask Mr. Obama is if he knows how many of those rampant gun crimes were committed by people using legal and registered firearms.
Ask yourself: If I wanted to kill someone today, would I buy a gun in a store registered to me, and wait to kill my victim, or would I go to the corner and buy one for 1/3 the cost with no numbers, no link back to me, and no waiting period.
The only reason to track information on legal gun owners is to count the number of guns in the hands of the public before passing the next tax increase. All registry tells you is the first owner or last registered owner and if the gun was reported stolen. It tells you nothing about the criminal pulling the trigger.

In 2005 Obama vowed on TV that he would not run for President in 08. In 07 he declared his run for the presidency. “Tell them what they wanna hear and do what you’re going to do anyway”

In 2007 Obama vowed to use publicly accountable campaign financing. In 2008 he utterly reversed on his promise. Which means that his promises are a joke, they’re meaningless, and anyone who actually puts any credibility to any of Barack Obama’s words is a fool.

KerryinPA
BHO’s supporters still haven’t figured that one out!

Obama, if the shoe fits…

Kensing
After you read the ABC blog ‘Legalities’, come back. We’ll accept your apologies.

That is exactly the point. If you take away the peoples right to defend themselves, their families, and their home, by taking away their right to bare arms, then the criminals have the leg up. Criminals dont buy their guns legally. There is no record of transaction. Criminals will continue to find ways to get weapons while the law abiding citizens who would be without weapons are at the mercy of those criminals. That would be total BS. Does anybody here believe that any gang member who has a criminal record, obtained his gun legally?

Maybe Obama should return to the Trinity church and the Rev. Wright for guidance on the subject.

Is Obama running for President, or for a job as a stand-up comic? His speeches/press conferences are quite funny! Now, he wants people to believe he’s pro-2nd amendment! That’s the funniest one yet!!! I can’t stop laughing!!!! What’s next? Will he support drilling, and claim to be a long-time supporter?

“April 3rd 2008 — Obama is embracing anti-gun policies in the run-up to a Democratic presidential debate scheduled on the one-year anniversary of the Virginia Tech shootings.
“I am not in favor of concealed weapons,” Obama told the Pittsburgh Tribune. “I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations.”
These remarks break from Obama’s previous moderate rhetoric on gun control.
While campaigning in Idaho in February, Obama promised, “I have no intention of taking away folks’ guns.”"
Gosh he sounds like such a dictator-wannabe (he won’t be ) “taking away folks’ guns” who the hell does he think he is? And WHO in their right mind believes one vowel of one word he utters? He will tell whoever whatever whenever it’s expedient. He LIES (Wright’s sermon would be appropriate here, instead of governments lie it would be BO).

Obama is a very smart man who knows the Constitution because he taught it at the University of Chicago law School.
Know that the Constitution will be followed when he is president.

I found the cure for “Obamaism”, turn the channel.

Flip-Flop isn’t that name of his game

“Actually the vast majority of Americans agree with Obama’s position that there is an individual right to bear arms but various communities can regulate guns issues depending upon the individual community.
Thus what works in Chicago may not work in Cheyenne.
Posted by: Stacey”
Not the point, the point is this is his current position. Who knows what his position will be next week, and the next and the next LOL!!

Just how much Senate experience does Barack Obama have in terms of actual
work days? Not much.
From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the
time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he
logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That’s how many days the Senate
was actually in session and working.
After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be
Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham
Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan.
143 days — I keep leftovers in my refrigerator longer than that.
In contrast, John McCain’s 26 years in Congress, 22 years of military
service including 1,966 days in captivity as a POW in Hanoi now seem more
impressive than ever. At 71, John McCain may just be hitting his stride.
Think about IT!!!

Obama should have stayed with the platform that he took from Hillary. Every time he opens his mouth, all doubt is removed, a true empty suit. I now respect and understand the Hillary supporters for NOT going with Obama.

Flip flop, flip flop, flip flop, do you think we’re seeing so many flip flops because it’s summer time? Or that’s just the normal political I’ll say anything to get your vote Obama?

“I’ve been very consistent, I teach constitutional law,” Obama said. “What I said was that I believe 2nd 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.” SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO MR. OBAMA THAT THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES. THE CONSTITUTION GIVES THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS

I’m confused about Obama. What is his position on gun rights today?

“I don’t know what my aide said, but…” These words should be engraved on his forehead or perhaps holographically projected from the halo the media has put over his head. I can’t stand him, but I’m not sure how this decision hurts him. It actually puts the issue beyond the reach of the executive branch for now and may reassure some people that, whatever else he does, he won’t be able to take away their guns.

Obama taught constitutional law and he still can’t get it right. Ya, I know, I’m a racist.

Apparently, Obama has no concrete visions, or convictions, nor does he have a stable mind set. Whichever direction is most favorable, that is where Obama goes. Now he will “disavow” his prior stance on this issue, this guy is PATHETIC. He does not stand by his choices 100%.. he is always backing out, changing his mind, or blaming someone in his midst. He will say anything or do anything to get elected president. What a joke.

A lot of us knew that Obama would try to change his positions once he got the nomination as he is way too liberal for the general election. It is unfortunate that so many of his supporters were so naive as to believe his rhetoric. The higher the pedestal, the further the fall.

Tim in Ohio: Obama’s positions on a single issue are predicated on who’s in the room, how much money they have, and whether they’re trivial or not to him.

Ralph Nader was right, Obama is addressing the white issues. I’m one of the “Bitter” folks.

Im hardly biased as he was the candidate I had concered early on. But you have to admit. If Obama dosent support whatever views one may have, hang around a while, it will swing back around sooner or later.

And this makes him different from other politicians how?????????

Rational Voter, then how come some of his Democrat counterparts still voted against funding the war? I got one answer, Obama will say and do anything to get elected, so like you said, if he would have voted against funding the war, the Republicans would be all over it, that’s because he was much worried about running and winning than anything else. FLIP FLOP Obama would say and do anything as long as he wins. SAY NO TO FLIP FLOP OBAMA! THE DANGEROUSLY INEXPERIENCED OBAMA CANNOT SET FOOT IN THE WHITE HOUSE. NOT EVEN IF HE FLIPS THEM!

Susan – “A lot of us knew that Obama would try to change his positions” – I don’t see how you get this from the article. If anything, all you could blame him for is having an aide say something silly…a problem I think all campaigns have at one time or another.

Independant mind – Please stop with the condescending , and patronizing rhetoric. Obama is a proven liar, andracial bigot, who has NO GROUND to stand on when it comes to his mantra of “change, sound judgment, and “bringing people together” I dont know where you get your news, but 90% of all media that I have been privvy to, are in the tank for Obama. Consider his 20 year membership to a racist church, and then ask yourself , how is he still in this race? Then look at his broken promises, failure to debate McCain afetr he said he’d be happy to, anytime, anyplace. His discrimination against Muslim supporters at his recent rally. And his bringing race into the equation.

“[I]t can be pointed at a burglar with one hand while the other hand dials the police.”
– United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, today, explaining why the handgun is
Americans’ preferred weapon of self-defense.

persio, if your son was at war in Iraq, would you have wanted him to be subjected to underfunding? Would it be okay for him to fight a war, that shouldn’t have been launched, without protective gear, with broken down vehicles and etc? So he’s bipartisan when it comes to common sense. Thank God you’re not a Senator.

Why does Obama always blame everyone for mistakes, associations with uncavory people and lies, except himself. Must be nice to “Think” your perfect.

Bring back Hillary !!!

jmengate – apparently votes do not count as much as you claim, if they did Hillary would be the nominee. But that wasnt my point about Obama and his 20 year intimate affiliation with a black power church. The point I was making is , why the double standard? No other candidate would still be in this race if they came from that religious backround. It is the majority of the media sweeping Obamas dirt under the carpet.

If you really want to know if Obama flip-flopped go here. blogs dot abcnews dot com slash politicalradar slash 2008 slash 02 slash obama dash common dash se dot html. I had to spell out the website. They’re either blocking my posting linking to the article ABC ran on February 15, 2008 or it doesn’t accept website addresses. Otherwise you can stay here and fight with your own demons of “truth”.

John McCain flip flops even worse than Obama. All you supposedly outraged people need to remember that.

Obama is the result of affirmative action in our colleges.

BRING HILLARY BACK, if this B.H.O. continues to put his foot in his mouth as he has been doing, he will end up giving the election to McCain and we will have another 8 years of Bush economics that will finish bringing this country down. B.H.O. was elected on the primaries based on all the lies and the gullible youngsters and blacks eager to believe in his “change” rethoric. He has already flipped-flopped on NAFTA, after he used that to critize Hillary, then after obtaining the nomination he started to say NAFTA was not too bad, and that during a campaing “rethoric was augmented and inflated”. PEOPLE WAKE UP, HE DID NOT MEAN ANYTHING he said during his campaign for the primaries. He has proven already he does not represent change, but is just another run of the mill politician who is a liar and will say and do anything to get what he wants.

– barf simpson –
You sound like the republicans 8 years ago. Remember the Bush “change”, now your living in it. I will only trust a proven leader, not a person that has done the opposite of what he preaches.

Brian, here’s what you’ve got wrong about Affirmative Action. Minorities have to perform 10 times better just to get in, and 10 times better to reap the same recognition and awards. Don’t be fooled by the politicians claims that others are being discriminated against. Do you remember George W. Wallace and the Univerisity of Alabama. Do you really want to enter into a debate about the truth? I don’t think so. Just stick to bashing Obama on this misleading article on flip flopishness.

joey – guess you missed all of mccain’s flip flops. torture, offshore driling, etc. mccain has sold out every position he once believed in. nice try. plus mccain’s a thief who was convicted in the keating 5 scandal who dumped his wife to marry a rich junkie who stole drugs from her own charity. you wanna throw mud, be careful where it spatters. lol

If Obama didn’t agree with something his aide said quite some time ago, he should have/would have clarified it then. He knows very little about how to be a leader if he thinks he can continue to get by with this approach.

john mccain flip flopped on everything he once believed in – remember when he kissed bush’s behind at the gop convention in 2003? remember how he sucked the butts of the religious right after he once called them the agents of intolerance? get real. all politicians are flip floppers. don’t kid yourselves. mccain is no better than obama. i’m voting for ron paul.

When Hillary and Obama met after their epic battle they met in the home of their mutual friend Senator Feinstein. That should tell you his stance on gun control. Obama and several of his colleagues repeat the same old “hunting and sport shooting” garbage. Those words aren’t in the Second Amendment or anywhere else in the Constitution. It’s all smoke and mirrors. Their goal is to keep guns out of the wrong hands. Guess who has the wrong hands. You and me. Unless you are part of the elite, they think you should be unarmed. How can we trust a president who doesn’t trust us?

B.H.O. is a run of the mill liar, who has no business running for president. He cannot make up his mind on anything, and is proving to not have a solid position on anything. All of you who voted for him will be responsible for this country’s doom if he is elected president, he will take us all down to hell!

badger1 – that’s quite a fanciful picture you paint. Too bad it has nothing to do with reality or what actually happened. I guess that’s what happens when you get your news from the funny pages.

jmengate – Your observation about people dismissing Obamas church affiliation is inaccurate. Since the time the story broke in the MSM Obamas popularity waned, and Hillary destroyed him from March through June. It was only the Washington elite, and liberal media who carried the inexperienced Obama across the finish line at the “57th state”. As for the media picking up on his church and pastor,,, they had no choice, but,,,they went out of their way to quickly neutralize it, starting with their raves over Obamas speech on race,,, you know, the one where he threw granny under the bus? The one where he said he could never disown his pastor? The one where he diverted attention from his own lies about what he knew?

Susan – I go back to the article. The reporter asked Senator Obama about his stance that the ban was constitutional. His response was that he thought the ban was unconstitutional but that the government should have the ability to implement constraints in order to protect public safety. Not only does this seem reasonable to me, but it’s consistent with what he’s said in the past. I fail to see the issue.

mccain flip flops more than obama, so what’s the big deal?

Another Flip! Or was that a flop? I’m starting to think he’s no better than the rest of these politicians that really have no firm values or beliefs other than those that fit the current time and/or situation. Come on Obama, show us who you really are. The slick speaking facade is beginning to wear thin. Lets see who you really are!

so now the press is going after obama for things he never said? how sad.

Susan – Well, McCain has more than once had to ask his aides what his position even was on an issue. Does this make a better leader?

Jim – when is mccain going to divorce his wife who was convicted of stealing drugs from her own charity. i’ll take michelle obama over that scary trainwreck debutante any day of the week.

The boys and men getting killed on the streets of DC are getting killed with illegal weapons.
Weapons used in gang violence are almost never legally purchased or registered. Therefore, Obama’s polyanna plan to restrict legal gun ownership will have absolutely no effect on the violence, as the ban has not had an effect until today.
His head is you know where, as usual.

The reality is nothing will change much except governments cannot make a law that blanket prohibits handguns. They can still make it so much of a hassle that it will be nearly impossible to own one if they don’t want you to. Yearly, or even semi-annually registrations, proficiency tests, peer reviews with government appointed/registered/licenced gun experts, demonstrated need, etc. The list could go on and on. You’ll still have to fight city hall, they just can’t tell you now they won’t listen to you at all.

As you can see all the rulings have come down to 5/4 in recent days. This should tells us that the country is divided, that the court is still an activists court no matter what political branch does the appoinment.
No matter what your, mine, Obama’s McCain’s opinion is, what really matters is who will uphold the opinion of all the rulings made recently.

ajmalkov – “Therefore, Obama’s polyanna plan to restrict legal gun ownership will have absolutely no effect..” – So requiring a background check to own a deadly weapon now qualifies as a polyanna plan. Has it ever occurred to you that maybe you’re the radical one and that Senator Obama is the one with the reasonable plan?

LongT – People have to register and take proficiency tests to operate cars as well, another possession that can kill people if used improperly. Expecting the same of gun-owners does not seem like that strange a thing.

So what is it Barack? Is a ban on handgun ownership in crime ridden DC Constitutional or not?? YOu said it was in November, now you say that you agree with todays Supreme Court decision! Its tough playing with the “big guys” aint it!

” A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free
State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be
infringed.”
Try to find the bit that says individuals have the right to own guns.
Try to find the bit that says a State or municipality can’t pass laws about the kinds and types of arms that an individual can bear.
Try to find the bit that says this applies to women as well as men.
Try to find the part that says a felon can’t bear arms.
Individual vs States rights.
Obama’s statement that this is useful guidance is correct. The Court did its job. Trying to determine if this makes sense in an era of ubiquitous unregistered Uzis and Glocks is an altogether different problem. That is the essence of Obama’s dilemma or really any thinking person with an understanding of the implications of open borders and a society with a wide chasm between haves and have nots.
Understanding constitutional law is not the problem. Understanding the role of the executive in context of the oath of office in real world events is.
Guidance is not always given and there isn’t enough time to ask for it in some situations.

McCain’s Campaign said that a terrorist attack would help his Campaign.

Obama is a better choice than McCain.Period.
Obama 08

To Jmengate” – He makes a mockery of this presidential election by not meaning ANYTHING that he originally stood for. Is that clear enough to you? He SUPPORTED a DC handgun ban, calling it “Constitutional” in November; now that he is running for POTUS, and realizes that he NEEDs more white blue collar votes, he AGREES with the Supreme Court decision calling the proposed ban UNConstitutional! Do you Barack “followers” even bother to read these news articles? I swear, if Barack drowned a puppy, you’d say, “well, he never said that he WOULDNT drown a puppy!” Extremely sad day for America.

I don’t really see the contradiction here. He says he believes in handgun control or gun control whatever.
He is saying he is fine with the Supreme Court which does seem to say two things: first, you can ban ownership of guns and two, gun possession can be regulated from sensitive areas.
Also, I have heard that DC is a special case since it is a federal territory.?

Way to hold onto those liberal ideals that you cherished so deeply only months ago Barack! What a total BS phoney baloney politican. I still cannot believe that his “followers” did not see through his empty suit politics in the first place.
**************************************
I have been saying for months that Obama is not a liberal as the GOP has made him out to be. If you would have bothered to listen to his speeches you could pick up on it.
Now you say he is an empty suit, for what? Taking a moderate view of things, is this McCain’s territory? No Obama allowed? He supports your view and now you are angry? Are you opposed to the Supreme Court Ruling or what?

There goes Obama again. Caught in another flip flop on gun ownership; and the only thing he could said is; that is not true. This guy has no firm stand on thing. I can’t believe he is the nominee for the Democratic party. All in the name of affirmative action. Our country is doomed if Obama is elected a president. He say one thing today,and when challenged, he denied it and say another.
The same thing when Rev. Wright issue came out; he denied hearing such racist sermons being preached. But during his speech in PA, he admitted hearing such sermons in the church. What again. Are we short of very competent people to lead this country, that we put this naive and phony guy to be a president candidate?
May God save America from Barrack Hussein Obama.

Apparently, Barack supporters need to have everything explained to them. Barack supported a handgun BAN calling it “Constitutional”. Now he reverses yet AGAIN on an extremely important issue to America. Regulating handgun ownership with background checks is simply not the same thing as the outright handgun BAN that Barack originally supported only 7 months ago. Apparently, the only “change that we can believe in” to Barack is changing his mind.

A – “It’s you that’s out of step!!” – And doesn’t it just kill you that Senator Obama is winning in the poles right now?

He SUPPORTED a DC handgun ban, calling it “Constitutional” in November; now that he is running for POTUS, and realizes that he NEEDs more white blue collar votes, he AGREES with the Supreme Court decision calling the proposed ban UNConstitutional! Do you Barack “followers” even bother to read these news articles?.
***************************************
Yes I read it here it is in Part:
In November you mentioned that the DC handgun law was constitutional,” Layne said. “Now you’re embracing the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision striking down that law—
“That’s not what I said,” Obama interrupted, per ABC News’ Jennifer Duck.
“Your aide said that,” Layne clarified.
Do you see that part where he said I didn’t say and the reporter back tracked and said Your aide said?
Perhaps you should read.

Um, one more time “Jmengate” [but arguing with you is like arguing with a brainwashed wall] – I read the entire article including the “Barack’s aide” part. It does not matter if his “aide” said it or not, his “aide” was simply stating and repeating what every major news and political organization already was well aware of. Namely, that Barack supported a DC gun BAN, calling it “Constitutional” – So, in reality, it is even MORE pathetic that Barack lied and denied his own ideologic beliefs and blamed them on an “aide”. Further, he acted defensive and elitist yet again when he lamely remarked, “I taught constitutional law!” What a total schmuck this guy is.

Flip-flopper is a label which has lost its strength in this election and is because people are trying to use it on Obama when those who have actually paid attention to what Obama has been saying know that he has not flip-flopped. It’s simple, those who read the audacity of hope could easily see that Obama has been consistent, those who simply want to damage his candidacy out of prejudice tend to make strong empty statements against Obama before even trying to take an honest look at what he’s been saying.
Obama/Biden 2008/2012

He’s just pretty much all over the place.

Miguel
You’re right — flip-flop has lost it’s meaning. In reference to Obama, we should substitute the phrase ‘bold face liar’.

President Obama. Call him Mr. President now and get used to it haters. Sorry to be presumptious but YOU people…

Just another flip-flop from this typical politican who says he is different. Hasn’t shown us how different yet. I keep waiting….same old-same old stuff.

Most people are used to see things in absolutes, in opposites, black and white, (+)or(-), and are missing the point on what Obama has been saying about issues such as gun control and death penalty.
Obama talks about how in a lot of cases apparent opposite ideologies could co-exist because we all share same goals. Regarding gun control the guy has been saying that there are loopholes used by Corporations making their money selling weapons without conducting background checks, like when they have gun shows anybody could buy a gun with no problems.
And that is anybody! And I think we all, liberals, moderates and conservatives, agree that not everybody is qualified to carry a gun. This is just one example. If anyone puts prejudice aside and gives a fair trial to Obama, they will understand what the fuss is all about.
The GOP, Gun industry lobbyist, will try to use this absolutes approach to put the label “gun control” on any Democrat, when Obama is simply offering common sense solutions, facing reality without affecting constitutional rights.
Obama/Biden 2008

Obama is for gun ownership and against it.
Isn’t that clear?

This man could be a very good stand-up comedian. This is getting funnier by the day. I can’t believe our country is in this position. McCain is a much better choice than Obama. I’ll take age and wisdom over youth and stupidity any day. How did this man teach Constitutional Law? I have a hard time understanding people being mesmerized by him. Anything he says and does isn’t suppose to be questioned and he’s always right. Come on people we need to wake up and smell the roses. Now they are having polls on MO and CMc. Unreal!!

C Good – careful. Age does not by default mean wisdom. McCain has the age but that’s about it.

Obama promises change we can believe in. Every time he changes his mind, he delivers on that promise. I’ve often wondered what he meant by “change,” now I know. Good show, Obama!

Obama is against guns and then for them
For public finance then against it
Will debate any time any place–but only on the 4th of July and one other time
Against wire-tapping then for it/FISA
(and the farleft is mad!)
For Rev Wright then against him
This could go on and on..
Hope and Change is becoming the reality that Obama is just another ordinary politician. Not qualified to lead this country.

Senator Obama is for controlled gun control. Guns in the hands of gangs.irresponsible adults are killing people everyday, this is what he says needs to be addressed, as any responsible person would want, I should think. Everyone is for having guns but there has to be some sort of control on who are sellilng and buying. If you want to vote for McSame then do it. You are probably the ones that voted Bush into office twice. So your credibility and judgement sucks anyway. So this time try to do the right things and vote for Obama. You call Obama, adding to his beliefs, flip flopping and McCain’t the master flip flopper is not mentioned. Responsible adults should own guns. How many irresponsible people, gangs, criminals etc. are in American. Any concern about this? I haven’t heard much about that.

I now understand why Sen Obama no longer teaches constituional law.
He wasn’t very good at it….

As a former Democrat, I’d like to apologize on behalf of my former party for nominating such an untrustworthy flip-flopper. I did not vote and will not vote for him.

Obama is so full of crap! He flip flops all the time. It is one thing for a politician to change his policy, but it is entirely another thing for that politician to flat out LIE and say he has been consistent. I would never vote for him!
