Charles Krauthamer was just on TV pointing out how Obama has adopted a deny-deny-deny-add strategy, which features him not only claiming he supported things he did not but also involves his adding things to his earlier statements that he had never in fact said. The newest example is his statement that meeting with Iran would only be with preconditions; before he did not say there would be any such conditions.

And recently Obama said that he had already dealt with Iran harshly, “his” Senate Banking Committee having taken action against Iran’s accounts, an action he voted for. Trouble is, he is not even on the Senate Banking Committee, and he never voted for any such actions. As they observed on Fox News, if John McCain has made such a statement that would have been taken as evidence of deteriorating mental capabilities.

As Krauthamer brilliantly observed previously, Obama is “for” all sorts of actions in principle and against actually taking action. In addition, he has a record of voting one way in the Senate and then going back and asking that the record be amended to show that he meant to vote the other way. All of this is a couple of orders of magnitude worse than John Kerry’s “For it before I was against it.”

This is not just a guy who wants to have it both ways.

This is a guy who really thinks it is both ways. If he says so.
