10 Months After “General Betray Us”, Obama Denounces MoveOn

Posted by on 7/1/2008

“A general providing his best counsel on how to move forward in Iraq was accused of betrayal.  “We can no longer afford these sorts of divisions.”

Did this just dawn on him?  What made him have a change of heart? Remember Obama walks on anti-MoveOn.org Senate vote? 

Let’s see what made him change his mind:

 …Obama, in a patriotism speech in Independence, Mo., hit the Web site for taking out an ad in The New York Times last year that targeted Petraeus, then the top US commander in Iraq. …

The skirmish overshadowed Obama’s carefully orchestrated speech intended to quell doubts about his patriotism.

“Throughout my life, I have always taken my deep and abiding love for this country as a given,” said Obama, sporting a shiny flag pin on his lapel.

One recent poll found only 61 percent of Americans believe Obama loves his country.

Oh, so it was because now he needs to make it appear that it was wrong.  He denounced MoveOn?  Hardly!  Through MoveOn,  Obama has collected millions ofdollars from MoveOn.  In addition to that,  it appears that Obama holds much sway over them.

    Well it’s good to know he finally found that lost flag pin! He’s probably been looking for it for so long, found at last!

    OK, you’ve drawn me into it. If Osama came by sporting the lapel pin, does he get the good citizen award?

    I’d give him the disingenuous poser award.

    Yes, they’re on vacation to celebrate Independence Day! They don’t give a DAMN.

    They can all go to hell, imo.
