Obama: Blurry With the Fringe on the Left*

WSJ's Review and Outlook this AM has this to say about "Obama the Blur":

At his current pace, Barack Obama is going to give Bill Clinton a run for his reputation as a political shape-shifter. Witness his performance this week in the Senate on foreign intelligence surveillance. He voted to gut the bill before he voted to pass it.

...this week's Senate debate also featured three amendments that would have weakened or gutted the bipartisan compromise. Mr. Obama voted for all three. The worst, sponsored by Chris Dodd, would have gone so far as to strip immunity for the telecom companies that assisted the government after 9/11. Without immunity, the companies won't cooperate lest they get sued by the ACLU ad infinitum, putting U.S. security seriously at risk. Yet Mr. Obama was one of only 32 Senators who voted for this killer amendment. Mr. Obama did vote for final passage, which prevailed 69-28...

Senator Blur...has a nice ring to it! You can't really tell where he stands at any given moment. He was against the bill before he was for it...he moves back and forth between positions so fast that, indeed there is a blur where there ought to be a candidate! (Or a spine!)

“Watch Obama see how he flutters,
when he’s with those Move-On dot nutters,
and without his notes, he still stutters!
Of sense, he’s bereft!
It’s that Senator O’Blurry with the Fringe on the Left!"© **
