Another politician changes his tune
LA Times: Obamba's website's opposition to surge gets deleted
The integrity of politicians (or lack of it) is one of the themes of this site so I thought it was worth sharing this. Apparently Bush's 'surge' has had more success than Obama said it would have, so Obama has deleted his earlier negative references to it from his website. His people say this is part of an 'update' to 'reflect changes in current events' and the video shows Obama's statement in 2007 and his spokesman's recent denial that Obama ever said what he said in the video. He practises the politician's modus operandi: airbrush history and say that you were going with the flow all along.
