Sweet! I love to see a lib tick off his base!

While I can't say that I agree with the over all opinion and theme of this piece, but it is awfully entertaining and makes an excellent point.

For all of the fancy and empty speeches and rhetoric, Obama is the same old politician that we have seen for 232 years, but with less experience. In fact I saw another piece that totaled up the working days in the Senate between when Obama took office and when he announced his presidential bid and it was only 143 days. Classic.

Like every other politician (nothing new under the sun), Obama has been moving to the right to try and appeal to a broader electorate and try to hide his past of being the most liberal member of the senate (even if he really only worked as a Senator for 143 days :).

Even more recent than this piece he has said that partial birth abortion should remain illegal, except in cases where it affects the mother's health (never) and that he would withdraw troops from Iraq gradually and intelligently. A sharp contrast from the primary debates.

Of course I don't buy any of it. When it comes to campaign promises you really need to look at the persons record. For Obama that spells, consistently PRO-Abortion(100%), higher taxes (just to make things "fair"), increasing every kind of social program anybody every dreamed up, and cutting funding for any type of weapon or training that we would ever need for a military operation.

I hope the shine if finally off the apple. I hope people are finally starting to pay attention. Nothing new to see here folks, just your average politician speaking out of both sides of his mouth.
