Sunday Matinee: Starring Barack

Hear Barack say, “You know where I stand. I’ve fought for open, ethical, and accountable government all my entire public life. I don’t switch positions or make promises that can’t be kept. I don’t posture on defense policy, and I don’t take money from federal lobbyists or powerful defense contractors…”

Guess who said this. Hint: His middle name begins with an “H”

No no, I’ve never said that  troops should be withdrawn, what I said is that we’ve got to make sure that we secure and execute the rebuilding and reconstruction process effectively and properly, and I don’t think we should have an artificial deadline when to do that.

Thanks to Scott at Buuuuuurrrrrrrrning Hot for bringing us this. Not that catching Obama in a flat out lie matters. Obama is a new kind of politician and will not be judged on the content of what he says, does, has done, will do, won’t do, or whom he associates with. The new kind of politician is judged on how sonorous his “ummm’s” sound and how loose his collar fits.  Obama is doing rather well.

Hear Obama make the quote 26 seconds into this Moonbattery video.
