This blog post is just too funny:

By The Fault » Blog Archive » Make Up Your Mind (http://www.bythefault.com/2008/05/20/make-up-your-mind/ - broken link)

Some of us do pay attention:

Barack Obama, last night in Portland, on Iran: “They don’t pose a serious threat to us.”

Barack Obama, earlier on the afternoon of May 19th, in Billings, Montana, on Iran: “I’ve made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave.”

Hahahahahaha!!! YES! CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN!!!!!

Who needs to make up their mind is Hillary Clinton. She needs to make up her mind on when she's gonna drop out of the race.

Considering there is video of Obama saying those two things on the same day -- I can just see the GOP TV advertisement now...

Too funny. He's done this kind of thing before but this is the first time I've seen him caught doing it in one day AND ON VIDEO!

Obama wants to be all things to all people. That's why he can be for gun control and against gun control. He makes people think they are hearing him say what they want to hear while he's really not saying anything.

Anyway, this is a nice catch on Iran. They are a serious threat and they are not a threat. Hahaha!!!

Why dont you post the whole sentence? Oh right, then it wouldnt be fun.

This is from - gasp - Fox:

Obama: "I mean think about it. Iran, Cuba, Venezuela - these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us. And yet we were willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying we're going to wipe you off the planet. And ultimately that direct engagement led to a series of measures that helped prevent nuclear war, and over time allowed the kind of opening that brought down the Berlin Wall. Now, that has to be the kind of approach that we take." (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks At A Campaign Event, Pendelton, OR, 5/18/08)


Obama: "You know, Iran, they spend one-one hundredth of what we spend on the military. If Iran ever tried to pose a serious threat to us, they wouldn't stand a chance." (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks At A Campaign Event, Pendelton, OR, 5/18/08)

He may have said that in PENDELTON, OR on MAY 18th, but the videos and the quotes are from PORTLAND, OR and BILLINGS, MT on MAY 19th. Yours is ad hominen attack. You are switching the facts.
