Barrel Strength

Millions may be enchanted by His word but the Gospel of Obama is obviously not written in stone:

Barack Obama styles himself the candidate of “change” and “hope”. So when his website “changed” to erase his well-known opposition to the Iraq War surge, maybe the Senator “hoped” no one would notice.

In this day and age, that’s a foolish, not to mention cynical, conceit, especially coming from the young, self-proclaimed “progressive” Democrat. And it backfired. Even the Los Angeles Times picked up the small but telling story after it first broke in the blogosphere.

“This last weekend,” the Wake Up Americans blog reported on July 15, “Barack Obama’s official website was ‘purged’ of his longstanding criticisms of the troop surge…”

That “surge purge” came shortly before the candidate’s belated “fact finding” visit to Iraq, his first trip in two years to the nation whose impending doom he’d so confidently and frequently predicted.

Obama aide Wendy Morigi insisted that the web site deletions were simply part of “normal activity to update the site as events and situations change.”

Undoubtedly, the moderate Obamamaniacs will remind us that this is a matter of contextual intrepretation and should not be taken literally as a blatant redaction.

Next up: He reminds us that we are at war with East Asia and that Eurasia has always been our ally.

Update

Yo, Canadian Cynic:

1. A finger wag from you about a lack of civility is priceless for its WTFness.
2. From your scribblings, this post was more a trinary device that fries some of your headpipes. Clearly a job well done and so noted for future deployments.
