YouTube - McCain's YouTube Problem Just Became a Nightmare

While the rabid right wing has nothing to attack but strawmen, nutty preachers and Obama's wife, McCain turns out to be a liar and doublespeak Bush 08 clone.

Possibly. . . I don't know whether to actually give Obama credit for changing his story on a dime just based on pleasing the audience of the day or if he is really winging these things as he goes. You'd think he'd be bright enough to know waffles don't go unnoticed. . . . but then again you'd think he'd be bright enough to know how many states in the US.

Based on his myriad of gaffes, I just don't believe he's intelligent enough to be that calculating. Pure ignorance.

Well, of course there is no argument - when you take things out of context and twist & edit them to fit your agenda. A fox news producer in the making we have on our hands here!

What Obama said in Portland was that Iran does not pose as serious a threat as the Soviet Union did during the cold war.

But, why consider actual facts when you can stomp your feet and cry outrage by ignoring them?
