Update: Reader Merlin created this wonderful Waffler-in-Chief seal to commemorate Obama’s flip flops! Welcome readers from Lucianne.com Update: LJStrata reminded me I predicted this morning Obama would get this kind of radioactive fallout once he finalized his FISA flip – end update I have never seen the likes of this before.
