More Audacity from Barack Obama

One definition of audacity is: effrontery or insolence; shameless boldness.

Yes, Barack Obama knows all about audacity. Here’s an exchange with CNN’s Larry King the other night,

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) OBAMA: And if George Bush doesn’t listen, then we’re going to make him listen because it’s time for us to bring our young people home.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

GEORGE BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: It can be tempting to look at the challenges in Iraq and conclude our best option is to pack up and go home. That may be satisfying in the short run, but I believe the consequences for American security would be devastating.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

KING: Senator Obama, you disagree with that. He says it would be devastating to leave now. You say no.

Why not?

OBAMA: Well, first of all, I don’t know anybody who’s been talking about packing up and going home.

It looks like Barack Obama doesn’t even believe his own BS. This would be pretty amusing if it wasn’t so serious.
