Obama Flip-Flops on D.C. Gun Case, TODAY!
The Patriot Room ^ | June 26, 2008 | Bill Dupray

Obama's campaign issued a statement this morning, before the Supreme Court overruled the D.C. gun ban as unconstitutional. He said this morning that he thought the ban was unconstitutional. Seems that they want to correct an "inartful" answer that was given a mere 7 months ago. This morning's statement.

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.

Let's look at that November statement. More . . .

Obama is trying to show conservatives that he identifies with them, while at the same time nudging liberals and saying that even though they couldn’t get the gun owners this time, they’ll smash them through regulation. He also came out against the Courts decision to ban the death penalty for child rapists and he has spoken out against the Fairness Doctrine (although he arguably for something that would be worse). He’s clearly trying to move towards the center to grab the moderate and conservative vote.
