Postvarication

by Smitty Obama caves to Romney, according to Munro in the Examiner: President Barack Obama used Air Force One to conduct a policy loop-de-loop Wednesday, asserting in a CBS interview that he supports Americans’ right to criticize Islam, following almost 18 hours of determined condemnation from Team Romney and damaging news from Egypt and Libya.

Anybody Who Thinks General Dempsey Went Rogue And Called Terry Jones Is Missing The Point
