Let The Flip-Flopping Begin! Obama Concedes Surge Succeeded ‘Beyond Wildest Dreams’
September 4, 2008
FOX NEWS - The troop surge in Iraq has been more successful than anyone could have imagined, Barack Obama conceded Thursday in his first-ever interview on FOX News’ “The O’Reilly Factor.”
As recently as July, the Democratic presidential candidate declined to rate the surge a success, but said it had helped reduce violence in the country. On Thursday, Obama acknowledged the 2007 increase in U.S. troops has benefited the Iraqi people.
Obama’s gun ban rhetoric: For it before being against it, now no longer for it
September 1, 2008
By John R. Lott
WASHINGTON TIMES - Sen. Barack Obama's campaign just won't let the gun issue rest. Mr. Obama and his campaign surrogates continue to assure gun owners that he is on their side, and it appears to be paying off. John McCain only leads Mr. Obama among hunters by 14 percentage points, just about half the 27-point lead that President Bush held over John Kerry in 2004. If Mr. McCain had a similar lead, he would be ahead in most polls, particularly in many battle ground states.
Yet, despite all the Democratic claims to the contrary, Mr. Obama is undoubtedly the most anti-gun candidate ever nominated by a major party for president.
Obama’s 2003 Stand on Abortion Draws New Criticism in 2008
August 20, 2008
By Larry Rohter
NYT - Abortion, a familiar issue in elections past, has again emerged in recent days as a focus of controversy. Senator Barack Obama is coming under intense fire from anti-abortion groups because of the position he took as an Illinois state senator on legislation regarding the status of fetuses that survive abortion procedures.
Both Mr. Obama and his critics agree that, as chairman of the Health and Human Services Committee in the state legislature in 2003, he led efforts to defeat a bill called the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. But they disagree about virtually every other aspect of the legislation, from its meaning and purpose to the breadth of its application.

AMERICAN THINKER - There has been a lot of commentary already on the forum at Saddleback Church, but one Obama answer bears some further fact-checking.
Barack Obama flip flops on Strategic Petroleum Reserve
August 4, 2008
By Ed Morrissey
HOT AIR - Via Jim Geraghty, who caught this even while on vacation. In August 2005, Obama agreed with George Bush’s decision to release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in order to buffer the economy from the effects of Hurricane Katrina. However, Obama warned that such actions should only take place in times of real emergency (emphases mine):
Known Unknowns About Obama
July 29, 2008
By Richard Cohen
REAL CLEAR POLITICS - "Just tell me one thing Barack Obama has done that you admire," I asked a prominent Democrat. He paused and then said that he admired Obama's speech to the Democratic convention in 2004. I agreed. It was a hell of a speech, but it was just a speech.
On the other hand, I continued, I could cite four or five actions — not speeches — that John McCain has taken that elicit my admiration, even my awe. First, of course, is his decision as a Vietnam War POW to refuse freedom out of concern that he would be exploited for propaganda purposes. To paraphrase what Kipling said about Gunga Din, John McCain is a better man than most.
Anti-Obama doc to premiere on eve of DNC
July 22, 2008
By Jeffrey Ressner
POLITICO - Right-wing provocateur and well-known Clinton antagonist David Bossie says he will premiere a documentary critical of presidential candidate Barack Obama in Denver on the Sunday before the Democratic National Convention.
Expected to recycle the “greatest hits” of cable TV clips that damaged Obama’s candidacy, from the wailing of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright to Michelle Obama’s “proud of my country” gaffe, the project from Bossie’s group Citizens United released an online trailer over the weekend and is being advertised on Fox News this week. It will be released on DVD nationwide Sept. 1.
Barack Obama’s Judgement
July 18, 2008
Wall Street Journal Editorial
WSJ - Barack Obama departs for Iraq as early as this weekend, with a media entourage as large as some of his rallies. He'll no doubt learn a lot, in addition to getting a good photo op. What we'll be waiting to hear is whether the would-be Commander in Chief absorbs enough to admit he was wrong about the troop surge in Iraq.
Barack Obama’s Flip-Flops on Policy & Iraq Exposed in Scathing McCain Campaign Video
July 17, 2008
John McCain's campaign takes on Barack Obama on his Iraq position(s) and ever changing policies. "The Obama Iraq Documentary" is a somewhat long (Obama supplies a lot of material) YouTube video that exposes Barack Obama for the flip-flopping, empty-suit that he is. Hopefully, the McCain camp will release a 30 second version of this for television advertising as well.
Barack Obama’s Flip-Flops Leave Race Tied
July 17, 2008
By Dick Morris & Eileen McGann
DICK MORRIS - After almost six weeks of a constant Obama lead, generally in the five to seven-point range, Scott Rasmussen’s daily tracking poll records two consecutive days of a tie race (July 12-13) and a one-point Obama lead on July 14. What happened to the Democrat’s lead?
The Iraq Trap: Can Senator Obama Avoid It?
July 16, 2008
By Ray Robison
AMERICAN THINKER - One of the most persistent and pernicious myths about the Iraq War, proffered by leading Democrats and propelled by the media, is the accusation that the President and his top aides "won't listen to the generals." Both President Bush and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld were tainted by this fallacious narrative.
