In the face of the collapse of Yemen, where Obama said his strategy against terrorism was working and a success. In the face of trading five top level Taliban terrorists for a private facing desertion charges after having a show at the WH with his parents. I could list many more. When will Obama ever say he made a mistake? Never would be my guess.

I completely understand the tactic of making fun of yourself to make others empathize... and Obama can do all the stupid online gags he wants. But he ****** up big time.

WH Spokesman Josh Earnest: “No Revision To My Comments” That Yemen Is Still The Model For Success…



They jut won't admit when they were wrong in the face of overwhelming reality.

Why?

A lot less dead americans, for one.

So the white house spokesman lies like Baghdad Bob and you think that's okay. You just deflect to someone from a decade ago.

The emperor has no clothes and you're just the latest serf telling the Obama administration what fine outfits they are wearing. "Thank you sir, may I have another"

I don't think it's ok, not sure where you're getting that from as that clearly wasn't the question I was answering. How about you limit my stances to my actual stances, unless you'd rather just argue with your imagination of me.

Uhhh, okay. Say, Joshie? So what would be your model for chaos and mayhem, what would that look like instead?

And a quick follow up- How would you define this "Success Model"?

God what a bunch of rank amateurs. Amazingly there are still some true believers out there that will buy this garbage.

Yemen is the model for success. Ahahahahahahaha.

I wish both sides would admit their mistakes, but the media at this point doesn't really allow for it. You're literally better off insisting you made no mistake than ever admitting you did, because once that admission is out or you change your position, you're seen as a flip-flopper.

Really, we should strive to elect politicians who have no issue changing their position when new evidence or data supports that change. We don't look at doctors/engineers/scientists/business leaders who still use outdated methods as being admirably firm in their beliefs, we look at them as being stubborn assh*les who need to get with the program. Why are politicians any different?

Obama didnt catch much flak for changing his position on gay marriage or on unilateral immigration reform.


The media only skewers republicans for such actions. They let democrats 'evolve'.

Do the same media outlets skewer Republicans for changing their stances on those same issues? They don't. That being said, I shouldn't have just said 'media' as it's also other political parties which use such change in opinions as evidence of 'flip-flopping'.

When was the last time a president admitted he did something wrong?
