Flip Flops

Some of the Kool-Aid drinkers are beginning to choke on campaign promises of their messiah Obama as they are slowly being regurgitated. From the innocuous flag pin to the realization that our troops cannot just leave in the middle of a war his constituents are watching the Democrat party's presumptive nominee “shifting” (i.e. flip-flopping) his positions to more centrist views.

Here are his latest;

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's 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.

As Alex Conant, a spokesman for the national Republican Party said, "There appears to be no issue that Barack Obama is not willing to reverse himself on for the sake of political expedience".
