Flip flopper supreme

I didn’t name Obama in the second post. The fact that the flip flops identified were obviously his and everyone knew it should tell you something.

As for Obama’s unscored plans, if he was serious about them, why not incorporate them into his 2012 or 2013 budgets? Why propose unserious budgets that he knew would be rejected?

The Republicans have passed budgets since taking over Congress. They have fulfilled their constitutional responsibility, and their budgets get the deficit back to sustainability and eventually, to balance. The President’s budget doesn’t even meet the standard of the CBO baseline.

I’ll acknowledge that I was unaware of the supercommittee submission. I knew about the grand bargain, which was actually never written down, and was what we were talking about originally. I also knew about Simpson-Bowles, but the President doesn’t support that. And I knew about the “budget” he submitted in 2011 after his first budget was rejected unanimously, but that was just like a four page outline of non-specifics in an attempt to make it look like he was doing something. And those proposals too were quickly forgotten.

So I’ll grant the supercommittee plan as a legitimate one.

Well, now that we’re done with our little hijack, let’s talk a bit more about Romney’s flip flopping.

Here’s his latest attack on Obama. He and the rest of the GOP are torqued off that the Obama administration has given the states ability to tweak welfare requirements.

Needless to say, the Romney campaign islying through their teeth in their representation of these rule changes.

OK, but it gets better. When he was governor of Mass.,Romney sent a letter to the Senate asking for exactly this change. (The actual letter is included at the end of the article.)

So, just like the healthcare act, Romney was not only once for it, but now he’s attacking his opponent for doing exactly what he was for before he was against it.
