Obama's various positions on the war.

[L K Day]

That is, he was against it, before he was for it, before he was against it.

"When Obama opposed the war in 2002, it was clearly in his political interest to do so; according to Dan Shomon, his campaign manager at the time, the key to Obama’s chances in the Democratic race for the Senate nomination lay in his ability to rally the Left to his side. Then, in 2004, when the war was still supported by most Americans, he associated himself with the Bush occupation strategy. In 2005, as Iraq was becoming increasingly unpopular, he temporized by joining those saying we had to reduce but not withdraw our troop presence. By 2006, with the war’s unpopularity deepening, he embraced a policy of full-scale withdrawal.

Like the rest of the story rehearsed here, what all this suggests is that Barack Obama does not represent an authentic new “brandâ€

the whole liberal agenda, I wish I was like you, easily confused

[caribe]

At least he figured out that Bush and Cheney were lying and spinning before most everybody else.

[Crankmas]

Obama ain't necessarily liberal, cuz nobody knows anything about him, pretty strong candidate for someone with no stated agenda.

[gunslnga]

Yeah, but his back paddling on Anderson 360 over the whole Rev. Wright thing was hilarious. He was totally not expecting that to be as big a deal as it seems to be.

I don't believe in Guilty by association, it smells abit peculiar but I'm not ready to write in Nader or Paulson yet

[Shamis]

obama is full of hot air. He should start a 'hope' party for people who campaign on a platform of solving all the worlds problems with no plan other than to 'hope for the best'.

[ynot]

ever notice he doesn't promise anything? It's always,"We need to.." We should"
He's blowing smoke up yer ass.
