He flip flops just as much or more as anyone else. Yet when he does it a readily available excuse it primed to be fired. When a republican does it, its viewed as a lack of backbone or fiber.
I have been an equal opportunity bitcher when I see the gop doing stupid shit. I've had many threads about the mistakes of different gop positions or candidates. Hell, one of you even have my bitching in one of your sigs. The only one I have seen denounce anything Obama has done flat out was Plasmaball. Many of you hint at it but always have an excuse to fall back on.
Most recently is the flip flop that Obama has done with regard to superpacs. And let's be clear how big a flip this really is...
Obama once said the following:
SUPER PACS ARE NOT ONLY A THREAT TO DEMOCRATS, THEY'RE A THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY.
Now if he truly believed that and wasn't just blowing partisan smoke up your collective asses why in the hell would he flip flop and RISK OUR DEMOCRACY being in trouble? And more importantly, why the hell don't you call him on it? Are you also willing to RISK OUR DEMOCRACY just to get him reelected?

You do realize he said that before the Citizens United decision?
Do you even know what Citizens United is? Most of my right wing friends don't. Because the media isn't liberal anymore. If it was, they'd know what citizens united was and they'd be outraged too.
And do you agree with citizens united? If you are, then don't cry about Obama taking advantage of it.
You want to fight Obama with one hand tied behind his back.
If you want to talk about us being disappointed with Obama or Clinton, you'll notice its only when they go along with the GOP that we are upset with them. NAFTA, Making cuts to social security and other social programs, going along with war for profit like Joe Lieberman, not ending the bush tax breaks, deregulations, blue dogs siding with the heatlhcare giants and not the citizens who they should be accountable to, etc.
The reason we give the Dems a pass is because they are the lesser of two evils.
If you want to know what I think or know read the fucking thread before piping off half cocked.
What do you think about citizens united? Do you agree with the decision or not? Do you even know what I'm talking about?
