Lowry writes about the Anti-Fact Consensus at NRO:
Obama spokesmen now say everyone knew that President Bush’s troop surge would create more security. This is blatantly false. Obama said in early 2007 that nothing in the surge plan would “make a significant dent in the sectarian violence,†and the new strategy would “not prove to be one that changes the dynamics significantly.†He referred to the surge derisively as “baby-sit(ting) a civil war.â€Â
Now that the civil war has all but ended, he wants to claim retroactive clairvoyance. In a New York Times op-ed laying out his position, Obama credits the heroism of our troops and new tactics with bringing down the violence. Our troops have always been heroic; what made the difference was the surge strategy that Obama lacked the military judgment  or political courage  to support.
Retroactive changiness: the music of what didn’t happen.
White Rabbit: Obama purges his official site of surge criticism
The parish that I seldom regularly attended on a weekly basis, some of the time.
“Our troops have always been heroic.”
We have always been at war with Oceania.
January 30, 2007, on the Senate floor:
That warm feeling around your nether regions? That’s because your pants are on fire, Baracky.
Good luck getting any reporter, journalist, or talking head on tv to call him on his lie Pablo. You must not joke about the Obama, you must not contradict the Obama.
Mister Barak O is a man of change and hope. If you cannot weather the storm of his coming then move on towards your future. He changes, and you change, and a viewpoint can change, why should it be any different than you?
You are representing more muck-ruck from the non-changers and I hope you cease.
My legislation essentially puts into law the speech I gave
Obama want his speeches to become law now? Does that mean asthmatics will be required to use breathalizers or inhaleators?
Is that what he want?
“the future is known, comrades. It is the past that keeps changing”
Russian change we can (will be forced to) all believe in.
Point out that he’s wrong, over and over again, is a distraction from the Hope and Change.
Little known fact:
When Jesus walked on the Sea of Galilee, Peter cried out “Lord, if it’s you, tell me to come to you on the water.” So Jesus invites Peter to come. Peter gets out of the boat and begins walking on the water toward Jesus. But when Peter takes his eyes off Jesus and sees the wind and waves, he begins to sink. Peter cries out to the Lord and Jesus immediately reaches out his hand and catches Peter. As they climb into the boat together, Jesus said, “Peter, why did you try to walk on the water?” Peter replied, “Because you told me to.” To which Jesus replied, “Did not.”
Ain’t that a corker? At least until he wants you to forget that he made them.
The Obama of the primaries is officially going under the bus.
“I am not the me I knew.”
I don’t think I mean what you thought I meant!
I think what scares me the most about this guy is the constant purging of his official site.
I mean, even Sandy Berger only has so much room in his pants and socks, if you catch my drift.

Well, he does work out. And he likes a more athletic cut.
Yeah, I find that disturbing, too, Jeff. Flip-flop in the process of becoming flim-flam.
Right down the memory hole. Change you can believe in just means that Baracky is liable to change history whenever he sees fit.
He said change, and he means it.
Well when Obama said he was a blank slate I guess he forgot to mention it was more of a dry erase board.
Etch-A-Sketch policy making!
That’s the old analog pants. Digital pants are bottomless.
…
I nominate Mr. Pink for Best in Thread.
I just don’t understand why you are getting all hysterical about this.
It is quite clear that Obama has “judgment”. this is clearly proven by his having allegedly been against the Iraq war.
So, there is really no need for anyone to review his associations, his voting record, his ever-changing policy positions, his statements, or his “experience.”
Just vote for him, he allegedly has good jugment and allegedly gives a good speech (quick, quote anything profound or meaningfuly that he has said in any speech at any time).
Oh yeah – also his race and muslim heritage (even though he himself is clearly not a muslim) in and of itself will create racial justice and worldwide peace just by virtue of his being elected.
I guess this means that we will see more of Sandy “Socks” Burger in a Obama Administration.
Obama’s best claim to having “judgment” is that no matter how things turn out, he can point to his having said, at some point or another, that’s what would happen.
The fact he also said everything else was going to happen, well, pay no attention to the underside of the bus behind the curtain.
He has been taking lessons from Miss Cleo. Enough patter and something will hit the mark. Flim-Flam man indeed.
He’s no Robert Preston, with or without Buddy Hackett.
McCain’s people are now re-tooling his first debate strategy for Obama. So the good news is, at some point, we will actually see the following exchange on national television:
McCain: Duck season
O: Rabbit season
McCain: Duck season!
O: Rabbit season!
McCain: Rabbit Season!!
O: Duck Season!! FIRE!!!
Obama! Obama!
The candidate who’s hard to get!
It always comes back to the music, man.
Considering that I left out one
JaboopieObama…
