All one has to do is examine Obama's limited voting record to see where he butters his bread politically (aside from his recent capitulation on the FISA thing)... Even someone like me who hates dealing with evidence and fact can accomplish this...

The real way to tell what kind of politician he is and what he'll possibly do comes not from an intense examination of him and his record (which supports the notion that he is at least a liberal, perhaps not a pinko marxist, although i wonder). It comes from an old addage of days past -

"Birds of a Feather Flock Together"

Look at who supports him. Do you want me to list all the clubs, associations and notable figures who endorse him. Its Like a Liberal who's who list...

Look who he chooses to associate with - Do we really need to go over this again?

Look at the pattern he seems to be developing:

1. He says he'll support public financing - then rejects it outright because of political expediency.

2. He would "Never Disavow" the Trinity Church or its Pastor - Then he quits the church when its politically expedient. Dumped em hard like a hot potato with bare hands - where's the love (or the loyalty)?

3. He vows to support a free Palestinian state and talks with Iran - Until he goes and visits AIPAC, where he sounds very conservative like - again, when its politically expedient.

4. He tells the media to leave his wife alone, shes not a reasonable target - and the campaign puts her out on The View and has a spread in US magazine and lightens her tone and rhetoric, willfully entering herself into the fray. The pundits say this reversal is done for political expedience...

5. He says he wants to clean up and change campaigns and their funding, but takes money from every major Lender/Broker bank in the country. Yeah - thats change we can all believe in! thats Political Expedience alright!

6. He pledges to Fillibuster Telecom immunity, but capitualtes for - say it with me - political expedience...

Do I need to continue Professor? Do you see a pattern developing here? Or will you dismiss it as speculation, or unsubstantiated hate. Or will you just label me a racist and be done with me? Thats what most "netrooters" like to do.

Shall we go into his very public stances on Gun rights (or lack thereof)? Health Care? Oil and Energy Policy? I could go on for a while!

Im not saying hes Joseph Stalin - Im saying that he is not a candidate of change. He is a politician and does not care who he throws under the bus to get his way elected. Is this the man you want to lead your revolution? Is this the man you vow will "Change" our system?

And for those of you who continue the old line "Well, hes better than the alternative, or he's a step in the right direction." I say hogwash - he the same as all the rest, a liar and a panderer and a man driven by pure ambition - it takes real Cajones to run for the highest office after 1 year in the Senate. I wonder where his sense of such entitlement comes from... We'll have that discussion later, Im sure!

Thanks again!
