According to Rudy Guliani from the RNC:
Later, after discussing [Russia and Georgia's conflict] with his 300 foreign-policy advisers, [Obama] changed his position and suggested that the U.N. Security Council could find a solution. Apparently, none of his 300 advisers told him that Russia has a veto on any U.N. action.
Guliani must have a unique metric for what a changed position looks like. Obama’s first statement after the conflict began was:
All sides should enter into direct talks on behalf of stability in Georgia, and the United States, the United Nations Security Council, and the international community should fully support a peaceful resolution to this crisis.
