Barack Obama claims to have spoken for “months” on the Russia, South Osettia, Georgia situation. There is no evidence of Barack Obama’s concern for this region in any statements until now. A desperate attempt to keep up with McCain with an obvious lie.

This allegation seems accurate. South Ossetia, whose name does not seem familiar to Mr. Obama, has just been added to the above file. Nothing before August 2008.
Great video. Caught it on Free Republic. Went ahead and Stumbled it for you and sent it to some of my SU friends. I hope a lot of people see this.
Oh, added it to my Facebook page also.

Great job.
i thought i heard obama exclaim ” today georgia tommorrow alabama !!!”
Tragic as the Georgia affair is, this video (Obama’s updating himself on that matter) is simply hilarious.
This guy is such a fraud! It is beyond me that there still are normal people around to seriously consider him a choice for the White House.
FYI, from April 21, 2008:

Statement of Senator Obama on Georgia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty

Statement on Georgian territorial integrity and sovereignty and Russian President Putin’s decree establishing legal ties between Russia and the Georgian regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia
Georgia is a sovereign country, a member of the United Nations, and a close friend of the United States. I welcome the desire by Georgia, as well as Ukraine, to seek closer ties with NATO.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decree establishing closer governmental and legal relations with the Georgian regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, without the approval of the Georgian government, is deeply troubling and contrary to Russia’s obligations as a permanent member of the UN Security Council.
Putin’s declaration falls short of recognizing Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent countries, but these pledges of closer ties to these two regions threatens the Georgian government and emboldens the secessionist forces in Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili has offered to negotiate substantial autonomy for these regions. Negotiations between the Georgian government and regional leaders, fully supported by international organizations and responsible governments, are the right way to proceed. By contrast, Russia’s unilateral decree outside of legal United Nations procedures and principles is fundamentally counterproductive.
Since the end of the Cold War, Republican and Democratic administrations have supported the independence and sovereignty of all states of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. We must continue to do so. The advance of democracy and peace in the region is a remarkable achievement that cannot be undone by unilateral acts designed to undermine the territorial integrity of democratic countries like Georgia.
