If George Bush had done a 180 on any issue, he would have been skewered for his flipflop. But when it comes to Barack Obama, the Associated Press praises him for his remarkable “presidential flexibility.”
The embedded video clip shows Obama excoriating Republican opponent John McCain during the campaign for saying he would tax healthcare.
And here’s how the Associated Press reports the President’s new position on the issue:
“At the White House, Obama sidestepped when asked if he was open to taxing health care benefits — a proposal he opposed vigorously in the campaign for the White House…It was the latest in a series of signs of presidential flexibility.”
The attached photo is proof of just how flexible the president is on this issue.
