Obama Says To Look At "Videotape" For His Flip-Flops

The President hit Mitt Romney for flip-flopping today on the campaign trail in Iowa saying you can look at videotape of his past positions and not see flip-flops. The President, however, has engaged in his own of political gymnastics as well.

I know, right? Now tell your friends!

      Romney changes every single day, that’s the real issue. Obama even made it a huge deal when he changed his mind on gay marriage, saying that he’s been thinking about the issue and changed his mind. He’s now PRO gay marriage and no one expects him to go back on that.  If it were Mitt Romney, he’d be telling you a different story every day, depending on his audience at the time. We don’t need a bullshitter like that running our country.

      There’s a difference between changing your opinion over the course of several years, like Obama, and just a few months, like Romney.

      Young Obama: tokin’ with the Choom Gang. Old Obama: getting support from Harold & Kumar while having the Justice Department raid marijuana dispensaries and ruin people’s lives.

      I want to know if Obama will even acknowledge that he lost the election if he’s voted out of office? Will the Secret Service let him back in the Oval office after Mitt Romney’s inauguration ?

      Classic transference behavior. Because their guy is a pathological liar and a fucking sociopath, they have to make out like Obama changing his thinking about issues that have changed radically in the consciousness of the American people over the better course of a decade, or taking a position that is necessary in order to not commit political suicide, is the same as Mittens’ man of a thousand faces act. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so scary.

      I was raised to never trust what a politician says; only focus on what they do. Romney has a record of charitable giving, leadership and success. Obama has a record of community organizing, flashy speeches, and tepid economics. This one is real easy for me.

      Either Obama knew the Benghazi attack was terrorists, or he didn’t. If he didn’t, then his hand-picked advisors kept it from him, and he is far too incompetent to surround himself with good people. If he did know, then he is far too evil and has surrounded himself with incompetent people.

      Obama is such a total ahole. The guy went from community agitater to president of the usa in 10 years. He is telling us he hasnt changed? Who doesnt change over any 10 year period? They guy is so full of shittt its pathetic

      If Obama wins, our nation will die in the decade that follows his second term. If Romney wins, his presidency will rival that of Lincoln’s for significance. No matter what, Obama will go down in history as the most laughably inept and destructive politician in modern times.

      Only an arrogant twit like Obama would lie to the press then challenge them to check him out - he is so out of touch with reality that he needs a telescope to see the earth

      I believe that everyone really wanted to see hope and change, We have that built into us, Most of us want to see our world improve, but that is not what we have seen over the last three plus years. There has been little hope and no real change, that is what many voters are feeling now. We hoped for change, but there was no change. Washington is a mess it was before he got there and it will likely be that way after he packs up and leaves. The only way to send a message to congress and Washington is to hold these politicians to their word, no matter if they are democrat or republican. Until that message gets across to these moss back hypocrites in congress, nothing is ever going to change and that is a sad thing for our children and the future of this nation.  We need Men and Women that will stand up for what this nation is, now what they want to turn it into, We need people that will follow what made this nation great. Not trample on the Constitution at every available opportunity, We need people that will sit on the bench and do the jobs for which they seared an oath to uphold and protect the constitution, not to make law from the bench, these things will never result in change. Vote in 2012, If half the people do not vote in this election there will be no change…

      Changing one’s opinions or views over the course of a couple years is one thing. Changing one’s opinions or views over the course of a few weeks in the middle of a campaign is a completely different (and ugly) animal.
      Having said that, it’s kinda nice to see a post on here that isn’t liberally biased (even though I’m pretty liberally biased!)

      He has not changed. He was a pathological liar and ends-justifies-the-means sham them just as he is today.
