Flip-Flop Alert- B. Hussein Obama Flip-Flops on 527 Groups…

Well, we all know Obama engages in “Change We Can Believe In”, in fact at this point in the race, he has broken all the flip-flop records set by John “War Hero” Kerry in 2004’s presidential election.

A quick google shows that Obama has allegedly been against 527 groups. Not surprisingly, just like his issue on Campaign Finance contributions, FISA and a host of other issues, his position on 527s has also been reversed.
Marc Ambinder in the Atlantic had this to say:
There’s been a spurt of 527 activity on behalf of Sen. John McCain, but Barack Obama campaign has suddenly gone silent on the subject.
That’s because, after a year of telling donors not to contribute to 527 groups, of encouraging strategists not to form them and of suggesting that outside messaging efforts would not be welcome in Obama’s Democratic Party, Obama’s strategists have changed their approach.
and
An Obama adviser privy to the campaign’s internal thinking on the matter says that,with less than two months before the election and with the realization that Republicans have achieved financial parity with Democrats, they hope that Democratic allies — what another campaign aide termed “the cavalry” — will come to Obama’s aid.
The Obama campaign can’t ask donors to form outside groups; it can only communicate, through the public and the media, with body language, tells and hints.
The upshot: Obama’s campaign will no longer object to independent efforts that hammer John McCain, just as, in their mind, the McCain campaign has not objected to those efforts targeted at Obama. “I assume with their 527s stirring, some [Democratic] ones will as well,” another senior campaign official said.
All I can say is this, if the Chosen One needs 527s aka “The Cavalry” to drive home his message in the final stretch of this campaign, it doesn’t take a genius to see that his campaign has managed to completely loose control of the message, and might very well be on course for an implosion.

Exit Question: How long before Obama picks up the phone and calls Hillary @ 3AM to ask for her help?
