Anti-surge comments off Obama's Web site
UPI.com ^ | July 16, 2008

Barack Obama's initial opposition to the surge of U.S. troops in Iraq is gone from the likely Democratic nominee's Web site, a review of the site indicated.

When U.S. President George Bush ordered the surge in January 2007, Obama, a U.S. senator from Illinois, said he wasn't persuaded the additional military personnel "is going to solve the sectarian violence there" and would have the opposite effect. Recently, however, he acknowledged the surge helped reduce violence but said he was still is of the opinion that political progress hasn't been made.

Media outlets noticed Tuesday that Obama's campaign Web site no longer listed the surge as part of "The Problem" among defense issues included on the site, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Mr. Obama’s Waffle
His commitment to pursue public financing for the fall campaign suddenly looks soft.

Obama Waffles
Added: July 08, 2008

Barack Obama, whose campaign slogan has been all about change, has really been doing just that. In order to get the nomination Barack moved far to the left, especially in his touting that he’s been against the war from the very beginning. Now, we are all watching in awe as he flip-flops his way back to the center while the MSM doesn’t question a thing.

The RNC, though, has put together this great ad to highlight what a gross flip-flop his Iraq war policy really has been:

Has anyone collected all of the “scrubbed” pages from Obama’s website?

It’s time we launched the The Official Unofficial Official Obama website.
