Heads I win...tails you lose.

Indeed, ever since Barack Obama began campaigning for president, he's had it both ways:

Recall Mr. Obama's "go to" line on the campaign trail; it would work every time: (quote) "As a Senator, John McCain voted with Bush 95% percent of the time...so a vote for John McCain means four more years of  GEORGE BUSH."

Finally, after serving as a punching bag for 2 months, McCain himself put on the gloves and began fighting back..." Barack Obama's political career was launched at the home of Bill Ayers, an avowed anti-American terrorist!"

At last, the foundering McCain had discovered an effective tack: he would go after candidate Obama personally, as Mr. Obama had done to him.

But never lacking in resourcefulness --and backed by the media-- David Axelrod (Obama's "consigliere") quickly defused McCain's charge saying..."the accusation about Ayers was "guilt by association," brazenly skirting the fact that painting McCain as another Bush was indeed, guilt by association-- and the media KNEW it, but kept their "code of silence." 

Obama survived, only because the press did not expose his radical roots in Chicago; and as usual, Obama had gotten it both ways.

And little has changed since he was sworn in as president.

Never in the history of the modern Whitehouse has the once-aggressive, mainstream media given a president such latitude to have it both ways:

EXAMPLE: After the 800 billion anti-stimulus bill was rammed through Congress, the press hailed it as if it were the next Marshall Plan: "The President's active efforts to create jobs by rebuilding our nation's infrastucture will lead the nation out of recession."

But the press conveniently ignored the fact that ONLY 30 billion was allocated towards the rebuild . And doing the math; we see that 30 divided by 800 = 3.7%.

That's right ladies 'n gents (and all you pro-Obama media types); after all the posturing by the press, and all the braggadocio from the Whitehouse, our beloved anti-president is spending only 3.7% of an astounding 800 billion (1.2 trillion when you factor the interest) on actual infrastructure.

And the code of silence?  The destination for the balance of the money-- thousands of new government administrative jobs to dole out Obama's new entitlement programs-- is seldom mentioned. 

And those proud recipients of all the Obama largess? Can you guess who they'll be voting for in the 2012 election?

Bottom line: Obama's anti-stimulus is the biggest vote-buying scam in American political history.

Chalk another one up to Obama having it both ways.

And what about now, as the media has become embroiled in the Obama-manufactured CIA torture controversy, and the now-cancelled photo release?

In a quote from a recent Whitehouse press dispatch..."President Obama's change of heart on releasing photographs documenting prisoner abuse in Iraq and Afghanistan by the American military, is a practical decision to save lives of American soldiers."

Another sugary press release crows..."The President's change of heart deserves our respect and support"...."Once again, Mr. Obama has demonstrated ably that he does listen to the experts."

Splendid-- we now have a President that can change his mind. Such candor.

And get out the maple syrup; the media is lathering on sweet praise for the great "Obama Epiphany," yet there's scant mention of his administration's treasonous announcement back in April, directing the Pentagon to turn over 44 graphic photographs, each depicting abuse of detainees in Afghanistan and Iraq during the Bush years.

This was all in conjunction with the plan to sic our brave attorney general, Eric Holder, after any of  Bush's lawyers who'd given the green light to the CIA to waterboard captured terrorists.

It was to be the "great Obama master plan of distraction."

Whether conceived by either Rahm Emanuel, James Carville, Axelrod, or Obama himself, the sheer brilliance of the plot lay within its simplicity; put Bush's CIA lawyers to the fire, while under so-called "pressure" by the ACLU to release 44 of the worst photos depicting captives held at Abu Gharib prison.

This was the Obama administration's grand concept of "ex post facto"...putting the previous administration on public trial in the media, while diverting  attention away from the actual business at hand-- passage of cap 'n trade, climate change, government health care, and the other radical leftist agenda of the democrats.

It was all so clever-- the photos would distract a "concerned" public (and the rest of the world), while letting the Obama gang in Congress get away with legislative murder.

But who'd a thunk the entire plot would be foiled unwittingly by the most diabolic of all the Obama characters-- our cherished Speaker of the House-- the inimitable Nancy Pee-lo-si, whose lies have ironically blown the whole shindig sky-high.

So now with Pelosi under fire, suddenly-- in his great, infinite wisdom-- Obama will not release the photos, and the hysteria to prosecute the Bush CIA lawyers has mysteriously died down.

In his Machiavellian soul, Obama was quick to grasp it was time to breakout the political fire extinguishers, and quell the whole sinister plot...all for one basic reason: he could foresee that all the furor & investigation, would eventually lead to the evidence that might crucify his beloved Speaker on a cross of prevarication-- and his most vital cog in Congress would be banished in shame.

And it would all be to the great disgrace of the democrats-- negative publicity that our shiny anti-president could ill-afford. 

So now saint Obama-- prodigal son of the Whitehouse-- has "returned to his senses," back home on the side of sanity and patriotism; and now publicly states..."I will NOT release the photos!" (play "Hail To the Chief" music)  

And St. Obama (never one to omit details) has seen to it that Chief of Staff (chief thug) Rahm Emanuel has privately called each of the major media, relating, "if you continue to seek Pelosi's scalp, you will face the ultimate disaster-- no more access to the Whitehouse press corps."

And true to having it both ways, if Mr. Obama HAD released the photos, great praise would have been forthcoming  for his "great wisdom," his "presidential  transparency," and "change" from all past administrations.
