McCain reversed field Thursday morning on "Fox and Friends." To stretch the hackneyed football-politics metaphor of playing the refs, Coach McCain just ran on the field.
"Frankly, I wish they had picked a moderator that isn't writing a book favorable to Barack Obama. Let's face it. But I have to have to have confidence that Gwen Ifill will handle this as the professional journalist that she is," he said.
"Life isn't fair, as I mentioned earlier in the program," Johnny Mac said." |
That is not JUST a flip-flop but a 180 degree turn. She did not change from the time he made his first statement--he knew at that time about her book. SO, since SHE did not change, what supports his flip flop? Only 2 days later and he now changes him mind? Makes him look weak and indecisive OR easily manipulated by his handlers and advisors.
Or, perhaps, this is what he really means by saying he will bring "change".
