More on BO's bipolarity

MANIFESTO

While the bipolar video from The Onion deserves the laughs it gets (see below), BO sure does seem to be talking out of both sides of his mouth at times.

Consider this:
After weeks of struggling to break through the chanting throngs of health-care overhaul opponents at town halls across the country and to correct inaccurate information about his proposals, President Obama finally seemed to hit his stride Thursday when it came to explaining his goals in plain, brief, to-the-point language ...

"We know where these lies are coming from," he said to laughter. "I don't think it's any secret. You know, if you just flick channels you'll—and then stop on certain ones of them then you'll see, you know, you'll see who's propagating this stuff and so all we can do is just keep on pushing the truth."
Pretty good, huh? BO calls a demagogue a demagogue and rightly accuses Republican apologists of lying.

Yet, we find in the same article that the
president said he still hoped to craft a bipartisan bill and hailed three Republican senators—Olympia Snowe from Maine; Chuck Grassley for Iowa and Mike Enzi from Wyoming—for negotiating with Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee, compliments he echoed later at the DNC, where he sought to convince his supporters he would not compromise too much.
Grassley?? The same moron who opined a few weeks ago that "We should not have a government program that determines whether you’re going to pull the plug on grandma"?

I'd sure like to read an article regarding BO that doesn't leave me with political whiplash.
