Thereafter, when called upon to vote, Obama interpreted his choices as "Yea", "Nea", and (vote for me for) "PRESidENT" Knowing Obama, which one would you expect him to hit??? I snuck into the Illinois Senate one night and added the letters I and D to Barack’s “PRESENT” button.

Thereafter, when called upon to vote, Obama interpreted his choices
as “Yea”, “Nea”, and (vote for me for) “PRESidENT”

Knowing Obama, which one would you expect him to hit???

No, the phrase to describe what Obama does is "talking out of both sides of your mouth". And he's very good at not laughing at his audience while he's doing it. as “flip-flopping” implies that you take only one position at a time.

  • “We need to protect Israel but stop Palestinian suffering.”
  • “If we could just get rid of all the nasty cynicism, then we could all hold hands and sing Kumbaya.”
  • “Wait – is this speech for AIPAC or some other audience?”
  • etc.

Once again we have Obama letting other people carry the water for him so he can stay "above the fray". It should be entertaining to see The Citizen of the World denounced by all the people in the world who bought into his HopeChange. After all, we know he will comment on other topics.

Silence is his best option for this issue. It makes Obama implicitly pro-Israel, which is in accord with American popular feeling, but without definitely committing him. The perfect Obama solution.
