All Obama stances are subject to termination, reversal, clarification, spin, flip flops, CHANGE, obfuscation, demarcation, delineation, and time-outs at any moment. Even while in the act of being spoken or written, whether by himself or surrogates (paid, unpaid, authorized or unauthorized.)
So it is written, so let it be done.

The mega-buck homosexuals who financed his campaign are going to make damned sure he is against the Cal. initiative. Why do you think one of his first official acts if elected will be the issuing of Executive orders: 1. legalizing homosexual marriage, and 2. doing away with the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy in the military. Count on it. But don’t expect any media types to ask him the questions.

Both candidates are flipping and flopping. It’s absurd for you not to acknowledge McCain is doing the same thing: Off-shore drilling, social security, lobby reform, foreign negotiations, immigration, taxes…

I’m with you on this, Doug. Altho it may be said that JSM campaigned on left of center, and is now running to right of center in order to regain those of us who view him as little more than RINO.

On the “flip” side, BHO campaigned to the extreme left, and is now making a dash to left of center.

Reassessing policies as events demand isn’t a bad thing on the whole. But the difference between the two’s flip/flops is that only BHO built an entire platform on his strong principles and convictions, vowing they were what made him unique.

Yet despite denials of being a Washington-as-usual pol, he has aptly demonstrated he is nothing more than just that. Just like all the rest, his political expediency trumps his convictions. Which doesn’t speak well of his dedication to “convictions”.

I pretty sure all of this is what he’s always said. It’s what I always have heard him say.

Opposing the initiative doesn’t mean you oppose the states right to make the decision.

No, but this

he supports extending “fully equal rights and benefits to same-sex couples under both state and federal law.”

does.

Though I’m sure he’ll be quick to change his opinion again, when the necessity to do so arrises again. Dude’s head spins more than Linda Blair

McCain voted against the federal ban of same sex marriage but supports the idea of a state ban. Obama voted the same way and opposes the California intiative. Opposing the initiative doesn’t mean you oppose the states right to make the decision.

“Ch-ch-change!” :is a winning plan according to the conclusions from a recent USA Today/Gallup poll:

At this point, Americans seem more concerned about not getting enough change than about getting too much with the next president, which works to Obama’s benefit. But the campaign has barely begun and Republicans will do their best to make the case that Obama is too inexperienced and too liberal to be trusted (Obama had the highest liberal voting score of any senator in 2007, according to the National Journal’s annual report).

McCain does have enough disagreements with Bush to perhaps make the argument that he will not represent a third Bush term seem credible. At the same time, on the major issues such as the economy and Iraq, McCain’s and Bush’s positions are essentially the same.

It’s always the same strategy, they run to their base in the primaries and then to the center in the general; not to acknowledge this is to remove yourself from objectivity.

His current position on California’s gay marriage initiative confuses me. Does this mean he is for gay marriage? If he is for the state’s deciding isn’t this what the state is doing. If he decides to be for gay marriage just in time for the general election that might be the dumbest political move in the history of political moves.

As for welfare reform, according to Powerline, he is just simply misrepresenting his vote in that commercial.

I am from Chicago and I can tell you that it is a cesspool of hard ball politics and corruption. That goes for the county of Cook, where Chicago is at, and for Springfield our state governments. In all three, Obama became a very standard political insider. He supported Todd Stroger over his friend and political ally Forrest Claypool for Cook County Board President even though Stroger was only on the ticket because his father, John, was on his death bed. His father John was a notoriously corrupt politician. Claypool was running on a platform of reform and ending the corruption (sound familiar) and yet Obama supported the candidate of the machine. That is the real Barack Obama. Here is how I wrote about it…
