#1 ya know, I don't have any problems with folks changing their mind - especially in the face of new evidence - but when they change it in a metter of days, and then try and convince us it never did change ...

Well, then you've got politics.

#2 "..You know, the truth is that this was an example where we had some poor phrasing in the speech. And we immediately tried to correct the interpretation that was given..."

So the problem was someone other than Obama.

#4 Of course the problem was someone other than Obama.

In his mind, nothing is ever HIS fault.

This guy is the biggest egotistical scumbag since Lyndon Johnson.

#5 What the f*ck makes him think we have any business telling the Israelis how their capital should be laid out.
That's like saying we should give Mexico half of D.C., divide it right down the middle. That would make a cohesive and coherent arrangement there too.

What a dickweed, but the GOP has a bad habit of sticking their nose into Israeli politics too.

#6 You know after a while you get enough stuff under the bus, it loses traction. You'll know that when the occupants start rocking the bus trying to get one of the tires to make contact.

Yes Sgt Mom. As staffer will fall off of the bottom of the bus - the "Axelrod."

#12 With Obama, he can deploy the

1) defensive "we".

2) the royal "we"

Then he notices that he's using the we too much and starts to throw in some "I's".

Its all BS though.
