A new kind of politics indeed.

Obama will say anything to get elected. He is a political opportunist that will sway whichever way it takes.
That is why he is the worst chioce for President ever....
Obama's broken promises:

I could never disown Reverend Wright.

I'll filibuster any bill that includes retroactive immunity for telecommunications companies.

I'll take public financing for my campaign.

I'll meet with Ahmadinejad without preconditions.

I'll hammer Mexico and Canada to renegotiate NAFTA under threat of unilateral abrogration.

I won't use that presidential seal again.

You cannot trust a thing the man says and I do not believe we have seen the end of his swaying in the wind.
Horrible choice for a Presidential candidate, a President that sways with public opinion will not be good for this country.

You idiot whidbey. Like the other candidate, John 'Swayin' McCain, or any other politician is not a political opportunist. Wake up dips**t. That is the game. Would you vote for Obama if he said he was a "compassionate conservative" like George W. in 2000?

Do you have anything to offer except insults? This is a prime example of the intellectual ability of most liberals like yourself. Why don't you try to use your intellect (if you have any) instead of insults?

Like Obama his supporters seem to have mental problems also this is a prime example.

And to answer your question I wouldn't vote for Obama if he was the only candidate, like I stated in the above post he is a horrible candidate. He would also make a horrible President. He doent stand for anything.

A few more of Obamas flip flops:

He says he believes in a Second Amendment right to bear arms.

He now opposes late-term abortion.

He suddenly is a devotee of using faith-based institutions to deliver public services.

He now says that he won't raise Social Security taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 a year. In the primary, he said he'd eliminate the threshold entirely, including on people making as little as $100,000.

He recently opposed the Fairness Doctrine for talk radio.

Now he says he's going to consult with the military before pulling out of Iraq.

Nothng worse than a politician that doesn't even know what he believes in....or when he believes it.

A true flip flopper he is, unreliable and certainly untrustworthy to hold the highest office in the US of A

People are constantly riding Obama. He's not running for Saint, he's running for President. After all the Bush Admin put us through and we re-elected. With this two party system we don't have much a choice. It's either Obama or McCain.
