I have to say that this article on Obama already getting ready to reverse his Iraq policy (such as it ever was!) with which he conned the American people
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080703/ap_on_el_pr/obama_iraq
has really made me see red.
In The New Republic’s article earlier than the yahoo one, “The Flip-Flop Fallacy”
http://www.tnr.com/booksarts/story.html?id=19697b01-fe09-413f-b0e8-7d4c8cf0d098
it talks about how McCain has a good chance of winning because Obama is flopping around like a landed fish gasping for air.
Obama is the King of flip-flop on ‘policy’ and he isn’t even anywhere near getting to be president.
And perhaps is NOT cynical manipulation, as many of us suspect from this most smug and self-righteous of politicians.
But it most certainly IS evidence of his total inexperience, and his pronouncement onIraqa total betrayal of the people who believed him when he said he was for change and ending the war.
It makes it all the more reprehensible that he attacked Hillary for ever voting for the war (remember that we were ALL lied to at the time), AND it just shows that Bill Clinton was right–he WAS selling people a fairytale!!!
B. Clinton was painted the bad buy for doing no more than calling the guy’s bluff! What he was saying was nonsense, and now he is admitting it.
Obama then distracted everyone when he claimed that B. Clinton was racist, that he was saying an African-American could ever be president was a fairytale, and then he was on a roll in the primaries and seemed almost unstoppable.
Except that those of us who were paying attention and did not believe the rhetoric-he knew he was lying, and those of us savvy enough KNEW he knew he was lying!
About ALL of it.
It is just a pity that we are stuck with this media darling, made of smoke and mirrors, because he is a terrible Democratic candidate who undermines himself every time he opens his mouth and tries to talk about the issues, which he knows so little about.
Every public pronouncement reveals his hypocrisy, and ignorance. Don’t be fooled by the smoke and mirrors, and hey, anyone who thinks he does not NEED Hillary for VP is drinking the same Koolaid as the ones who helped him steal the nomination from Hillary (she should have been given ALL the delegates inFloridaandMichigan, in which case she would be the candidate!)
Look at the whole Pastor Wright fiasco-he told people that to disavow him was like expecting him to disown his WHITE grandmother–why not just say Grandmother and have done with it–who is the racist here?
By all means vote Democrat to end the current disasterous policies, but never be naive enough to think this guy will ever make good, or be able to make good, on his promises. And let’s look forward to the next Democratic primary season in 2011-12!! And get it RIGHT next time.
