correct, gotha politics is all they have. They need to be against Obama and find the smallest faults with him because Republicans have a hard time being for John McCain. The conservative movement has been defeated and they are lashing out with their last ounce of power.

Republicans don’t seem to be attacking Obama on anything legitimate. They seem intent on saying “gotcha” on issues like this that Obama never even slipped up on.

I think that a politcian’s position that he takes first is his real position if it is clost to their action of their adult life. Obama has to move right toward the center to get elected. He will also have stay somewhat clost to the center or he will not be reelected (If he is elected). Moving to his (it seams) original position and remove the troops as fasted as he said he would now preside over a defete in Iraq. There will be very few Dems who demanded Bush get out of Iraq NOW will not do it now. The shoe will be on the other foot then!!!

Obama may be saying the same thing but it definitely doesnt sound the same. He doesnt say anything about it being an illegal and immoral war. He doesnt mention how the American people were tricked and deceived by a President. Nor does he say preemptive is not going to be his policy. He does mention oil distribution and keeping Americans safe through military. If he were true to his promise of change he would take the troops out immediately because his diplomacy would keep America safe. Now that he has the nomination we are seeing his true Republicrat colors. Get real Obama either your a populist candidate or your not. Dont deal the Rovian rhetoric card so early.

Americans are hungry to beleive in themselves again, hungry to be perceived in positive terms on the world stage, hungry to feel like we can take on challenges and solve problems. Bush never asked anything of us, never asked us to sacrifice as a people, never called us to a higher purpose. Instead, he snookered a couple hundred thousand young men and woman and their families into sacrificing their honor in a war that defied the Geneva Conventions and required the rest of us to pay homage to that lest we be perceived as unpatriotic. He allowed his favorite companies to profit from the war, let the national debt skyrocket so the rich could pocket their money, and allowed everyday Americans to sink into financial oblivion. Obama uttered the word “change” and people were drawn like a magnet to him. Add his gift of rhetoric and understanding of the people that only a community organizer can have and it equals the power of his candidancy. If elected, he will build on this new, but quintessentilly American vision of power and create a new politics. My guess is that the people whose power he has tapped into, will require that of him, and he, savvy politican that he is, will deliver. (Huffpost)

I understand he wants to go to Iraq and see for himself. I just hope the commanders
over in Iraq don’t paint a rosy picture and lie just to keep us there.
I think our troops have done great and it’s time they come home.
I hope Obama sees the real truth over in Iraq and ends this war.
Bush is nothing but a WAR MONGER and thank God he will soon be
leaving. I don’t want McBush in the White House either.
I’ve had it with a President that Lies, and Lies, and Lies some more.
Bush has no morals, no conscience, no brains.

Obama is doing his best to try and look like seasoned expert on issues such as foreign policy and the economy. We are truly in trouble if this neophyte gets elected!

What is it that FoxNews cannot understand? Obama said, “That position has not changed. I have not equivocated on that position.” There is no question about his position at all. Only FoxNews has questions? Why must Obama always talk down to the lowest common denominator- FoxNews?

Sadly I don’t think white america will put up with a black president. These continuos attacks by the white owned press only goes to reinforce that fact. Not to mention all the new oil contracts that the good old boys in the texas oil industry have signed recently…
