Guns still elusive for D.C. residents

When will the feds send troops into DC to enforce the Heller Decision? Currently all we get from Mayor Fenty is that he’ll come up with the minimum in the maximum length of time in order to avoid having to allow law abiding citizens the ability to defend themselves.

Fenty, you lost, you were wrong, the law was wrong, get over it.

Here’s the entire speech.

Then I read this on Politico.com:

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) on Thursday backed off his firm promise to withdraw combat forces from Iraq immediately and instead said he could “refine” his plan after his trip to Baghdad later this month.

Earlier, a top Obama adviser had said that the senator is not “wedded” to a specific timeline.

Here’s the entire article.

So once again, we have to ask the question: who is Obama trying to hoodwink: moderate and conservative voters who are a little apprehensive about a total, unilateral withdrawl from Iraq and its repercussions? or liberals, to whom he promised to withdraw totally and immediately?

Clearly, someone was lied to.
