Ok...
...if you and your friends like green and I tell the world I like green best and another, larger group of people favor red and I then tell the world I like red best, what are you to think?
Obama was not talking nuance or making any kind of vague statement, at all, when he said, emphatically, that he would meet with all those folks, without precondition and he even went further and explained why. Then, he changed a full 180 degrees and he and his enablers in the media went to great lengths to say he, obviously, did not mean what he went to such great lengths to, in fact, and specifically said.
Obama supporters may be in for a rude awakening. What we have here is a 100% pure political animal; Beneficial at point A to listen to Pastor Wright? I listen to Pastor Wright. Beneficial to distance for him at point B and claim that is NOT the Pastor Wright of old? Done. Beneficial to be in alliance with Ayers at point C? Become allied. Beneficial to put distance between Ayers and self? Done. Hardly ever knew him. Beneficial to sound like the great listener and extender of olive branches? Say it. Beneficial a month later two say that's not what you said or meant and anyone who says otherwise just doesn't get it? Viola.
Now, I'm not about to single him out as a political whore in a field that is noted for it's whores, but I am saying that he is very, very familiar and at ease with the business.
Let's just say we really don't know what color he likes and keep that in mind.
i actually think it was one of the things that hurt him in the primaries, and bet he wishes he never gave his opponents that sound bite.
But he definately played politics with it. whether you think it was a full reversal or a slight clarification, he played politics with it.
