Another Day, Another Obama Flip-Flop

Now he's changed his tune on the 2nd Amendment and the D.C. gun control ban that was overturned today:

ABC News' Teddy Davis and Alexa Ainsworth Report: With the Supreme Court poised to rule on Washington, D.C.'s, gun ban, the Obama campaign is disavowing what it calls an "inartful" statement to the Chicago Tribune last year in which an unnamed aide characterized Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., as believing that the DC ban was constitutional.

"That statement was obviously an inartful attempt to explain the Senator's consistent position," Obama spokesman Bill Burton tells ABC News.
"Inartful?" What the hell does that mean? It's not even a word. I take it to mean that Obama came out on the wrong side of yet another issue and is changing his tune to reflect the current consensus. That's called being a follower and is the antithesis of leadership. There's a great many things you can say about the current president but he makes a decision or a statement and sticks by it. Obama...er. not so much.

George W. Bush was labeled repeatedly as stupid for making about 10% of the gaffes Obama has made on the campaign trail. Sure, Bush said nuclear "nucular" but his campaign didn't make up words to cover up for his blunders. If Bush looked stupid, Obama looks flat-out brain-dead and is nothing but a rank amateur. I can't wait to see him picked apart in the town hall meetings against McCain.

Don't worry Obama, no matter how much you screw things up, you still have the modern day Edward R. Murrow to carry your water.
