Why is anyone surprised?
Obama and Hillary were the only two Democratic candidates that in the first debate declared their support for continuing a “presence” in Iraq, and saw continuing the war there as a given.
Later on, Obama told the entire world that Ronald Reagan was his idol.
This is what happens when people don’t really listen.
Joe Biden should have been our candidate. He got in trouble because he says what he thinks. His stance on national health care and the Iraq war were clear and evident. But, precisely because Biden’s rhetoric was clear and unpolished and honest, he was and still is denigrated as someone who makes verbal political “gaffs”.
Tell ya what, when TRUTH and HONESTY become universally interpreted as “gaffs”, it’s already too late and we’re lost.
Obama and Hillary were and are both Bush 2.0.
Oh yeah…forgot one more example:
Obama recently just repeated his stance on the prosecution of criminals. We should look forward and forget what they did in the past.
This should be the opening statement of every defense attorney in this country:
Your Honor, whether my client committed this crime or not is irrelevent. As the President of the United States has declared regarding criminal acts…let us simply look forward and forget about the past and on that basis I ask for a dismissal of all charges against my client.
Sounds right, yeah?

The story doesn’t end there. Wednesday night the Justice Dept. asked a judge to suspend action on the al-Haramain suit challenging the NSA’s illegal wiretapping program. The reason: allowing the suit to go forward would jeopardize national security.

I have no problem with you stating one case that shows that Obama is doing the exact same case, and I don’t object to criticizing him for it. What I object to is the assertion that ONE CASE, the details of which WE DON’T KNOW, ONE MONTH into his presidency…makes him Bush 2.0. Until you can show multiple cases and patterns that last more than weeks, tone down the rhetoric, wouldya?

Thanks to the Rick Warren invitation, the gay community will never give Obama a chance. He’s not getting their vpte in 2012.
