GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE

On the one hand, you have to hand it to him.

He has changed his mind.

It is ok to change your mind when you find/see that you were not quite on the mark regarding whatever.
On the other hand, changing your mind means that you were wrong from the get go (sp?)

And it means that the person you disagreed with was right.

We are speaking here of b.o. on such matters as:

Closing Gitmo
The military commissions or tribunals
The necessity of wiretaps w/o warrants
Releasing the photos of EITs
The success of the Surge into Iraq
The extension of the Surge into Afghanistan

In these cases, b.o. reversing himself means that President Bush was right and that Dick Cheney was/is right.

And it is also true that b.o. has not had the whatevers to admit the fact.

He has not said, and never will, that President Bush was right and he himself was wrong.

So, it would appear that b.o. is again having it both ways, or at least trying to.

Is doing that….doing something that some of us refer to as being two-faced??

You think??
