From:
"Roland Burris is a good man and a fine public servant, but the Senate Democrats made it clear weeks ago that they cannot accept an appointment made by a governor who is accused of selling this very Senate seat," he said. "I agree with their decision, and it is extremely disappointing that Governor Blagojevich has chosen to ignore it."
To:
"You know, that is a Senate matter. But I know Roland Burris. Obviously, I've -- he's from my home state. I
think he's a fine public servant. If he gets seated, then I'm going to work with Roland Burris, just like I work with all the other senators, to make sure that the people of Illinois and the people of the country are served."
Nobama is a man of such great principle, ROFL!!! You dims have been had!
A few things...
1. Why, if you are trying to make a point and are trying to be taken seriously, would you refert to Obama as 'Nobama' and say he 'flops like a fish,' rather than saying that Obama switched his position on a particular issue in a relatively short spand of time? Insulting rhetoric delegitimizes your argument and turns off people who may otherwise be open to your point.
2. Can you explain to me why it is necessarily a bad thing that the President-elect changed his mind? Is having the capacity to change your position on an issue as a situation changes, or upon further reflection, a bad thing!? Should a President never change his mind, no matter what?

1. Because I took lessons from the Dims. They taught me that in order to get an audience you have to shrilly scream your opinion loudly and often. I also learned it works better when you call the opposition names. Want examples? Go back and read some of the comments leading up to the election about Bush, Palin on this forum
So...it's reap what you sow for you Dims, like it or lump it!
2. The PE is supposed to be a man of principle, instead he is proving that he will lean which ever way the wind blows. I.e....Congress doesn't want Burris, he was good with that. Then when Congress said well, maybe we can seat him suddenly Barry Nobama is good with that too. So..which is it? What does he really believe? No one knows!
I can't wait until the Russian's start pushing Barry around, oh, wait, they already are.

So some posters were insulting about Bush, Palin, or other conservatives, and you gleefully lowered your standards? That's nice. Is that something trolls do?
The President Elect is supposed to be a man of principle, and one of the principles of our federal government is the separation of powers. He states that he will respect how the Senate chooses to deal with a Blago appointment, which as President he should do, and you take it as an opportunity to demean him.
Russia's not pushing "Barry" around, there are still a few days before "Barry" is in power.
