How Many Flop Can An Obama Make? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 62/100. gewcew23 (3204)   ranked 398 out of 3,824 in politics4 months ago

In the past few weeks, Obama has broken two pledges, to take public financing in the general election and to filibuster legal immunity for telecoms that cooperated with the government in terrorist surveillance. He has belittled his own rhetoric during the primary campaign saying it could get "overheated and amplified" on the issue of trade. He has redefined his promise to meet without preconditions with the leaders of hostile states. He has endorsed a Supreme Court decision striking down a Washington, D.C. Yes the same gun ban his campaign had previously said he supported. Instead of a hard deadline for withdrawal from Iraq, he has adopted basicly the same current position as the Bush administration. Is for the death penalty of child rapest, and faith based programs.
Wait a minute did you not say that "The Democratic Party had been at its best, when we led, not by polls, but by principles; not by calculation, but by conviction."

Well I think what would scare me is that maybe he realized he would get more votes it he changed his views, but do we really want a president that is wishy washy and just wanting to please the majority. What if we vote for him then he gets into office and changes again. This is crazy. He needs to stand by his word and what he believes. I was not going to vote for anyway.

If I had been planning to vote for Obama, you sure would have convinced me not to with this.

Well when a candidate breaks multiple promises months before the actual election, you have to wonder if you can trust him at all. I didn't like Hillary Clinton, but at least I knew what she stood for and had faith that she would keep her campaign promises. Changing your mind is one thing, but flat out breaking promises is another issue entirely.

I am beginning to think that people who are voting for him, have their ears closed and their eyes shut. They don't care. They just want to vote for him because they something different. It is not him they are voting for. They would vote for anyone but a Republican. He could be guilty of anything, and they would vote for him.

For someone who is claiming to be the "agent of change" he sure does seem to be running his campaign just the same as most every other politician has always done.

I am waiting for him to be run over by that bus that he is so fond of throwing everyone under.

Obama never pledged to take public financing. The facts, including the actual questionnaire Obama filled out that contains the alleged 'pledge', are here:

I also blogged about what a ridiculous idea it is to try and act like Obama is the flip-flopper here:

It appears to Barack Obama supporters it makes no different how much or how many times he changes his mind of issues.
It is not so much Obama has flipped flopped on issues, he is a hard left wing liberal,and in his heart of hearts he will vote with his democrat leadership.
So much for the new kid on the block with a new way to do politics.
For example last week Obama cast his yes vote along wit his democrat leadership, this yes vote will give the government legal rights to wire tap every American any time they want to.
Obama a person mostly unknown by the general public gained his supporters with promises of lesser government in the American people faces and as a man that will stand for all the people,Obama vote just the opposite in reality.
I would think Obama supporters are beginning to be introduced to the real Barack Obama,who is a hard liberal,his owe party says Obama is a extremely liberal democrat.
July 14,2008 George W. Bush lifted the no drill band,Barack Obama came on it's heels telling the American people,not a very good idea.
Obama'S view is the United states use our food chain to produce energy,so with this view the American people are paying out the nose for a gallon of gas,using our food chain we will be begging for food along with our farm animals.
It is my understanding the price of a barrel of oil drop considerable over night,the middle east must have gotten the memo...THINK!!!
Talk at the end of Bill Clinton's term in office was about our need to drill for oil.
Bill Clinton had the same idea as Barack Obama has today,not a good idea,so he made it to where if the U.S. drills first they had to bring our refineries up to standard and code,the whole idea was scrubbed due to the vast cost of bring our refineries you to snuff.
In regard to our oil crisis today there is plenty of blame to go around,but with the democrats it is most popular to finger the republicans.
Barack Obama actually is not in my opinion flip or flopping what people is seeing is the real Barack Obama, a elitist and hard left wing demarcate.
I don't think it is at all a good idea not to begin the drilling,I guess Barack Obama bleeding heart for the hurting American people is nothing more then words and he rather the hurting Americans keep sending to the oil muggers in the middle east 700 billions dollars every year for oil,Give me a break.

I guess he wants to be president by hook or by crook, but once he gets in, he is going to scrap the promises he made to get the conservative vote, so it will be like
Bill Clinton only worse and on top of that, there are the ones who voted because he is part Black. And guess what, if the economy does not recover, people will not mind because they elected a Democratic president.
They will never learn.
