Obama, Master of Magic 8-ball Politics July 7, 2008

Umm, what should my policy be today? The idea of change has stuck in this man’s head so deep that he now feels he needs to change his stance on so many issues I’m not really sure if he knows what he believes anymore. Well on the brighter side for him he has a quote from every angle so that no matter what happens he can say that was his position.

On Iraq, Obama said Thursday that his upcoming trip there might lead him to refine his promise to quickly remove U.S. troops from the war.

He now supports broader authority for the government’s eavesdropping program and legal immunity for telecommunications companies that participated in it, after opposing a similar bill last year.

After the Supreme Court overturned the District of Columbia’s gun ban, the handgun-control proponent said he favors both an individual’s right to own a gun as well as government’s right to regulate ownership.

Obama became the first major-party candidate to reject public financing for the general election after earlier promises to accept it.

He not only embraced but promised to expand Bush’s program to give more anti-poverty grants to religious groups, a split with Democratic orthodoxy.

He objected to the Supreme Court’s decision outlawing the death penalty for child rapists, even though he has been anti-capital punishment.

Obama also said “mental distress” should not count as a health exception that would permit a late-term abortion, saying “it has to be a serious physical issue,” addressing a matter considered crucial to abortion rights activists.

It is amazing to me that so many people take this man serious. Here is a man running for POTUS with absolutely no definable position, it’s like a grab bag of policies. Obama has been stating that his changes have been a refinement of his ideas, these are not refinements they are complete shifts. You may or may not like what McCain stands for but at least you know what his positions are. Can you really in good conscience say that a coin flip is better? This is our country people and I am very proud of it, please don’t leave it to chance.

I personally like the majority of the policies coming from the McCain camp, that’s my opinion. I also understand and relish the idea that everyone has their own and that we have such available forums to debate these opinions in. Please feel free to enjoy my site. Express your opinions and debate your points but be respectful of how you say it.
