Maher talked to the dinner crowd on Obama, flip-flopping and why he being “the brave one” has cost him the Emmy – 32 times.
Maher with Waxman: “Obama changed his mind with Syria. I’m glad he did. He changed because Syria put something on the table that wasn’t there before. Isn’t that a better outcome?”
