Florida, Michigan, Illegal Donations – Change To Believe In
by Big Dog on Aug 4, 2008 at 22:23 Political
Barack Obama is a man who will say or do anything to win. He has changed many of his positions over the last few months in order to move toward the center. It is amazing that politicians always move to the center in order to win but never figure that they should stay there because that is what people voted for. It seems that the Change you can believe in happens to be his positions. Just this past week he changed to “in favor of” drilling. Well, it gets even better.
Obama is now saying that the delegates from Florida and Michigan should count. He was opposed to allowing those votes when Hillary Clinton would get most of them because he did not have his name on the ballot. Obama believed it would not be fair to allow Clinton to get the lion’s share of the delegates when her name was the only one on the ballot and he had a point. However, now that her name will not be up for nomination in Denver, he wants the delegates from those states to be able to have full voting rights. If his argument was that Hillary did not deserve them because his name was not on the ballot then why does he deserve them at this point in time? After all, his name was not on the ballot so he could not have earned any of them but now he is willing to accept all of them. They say it is for party unity but I bet this will further infuriate the Hillary supporters.
Barack Obama has made two statements that might not sit well with his base. He now supports drilling thus placing many of the obstructionist Democrats in a tight spot and he now favors allowing full votes for the Florida and Michigan delegates which will likely infuriate Hillary supporters. It would seem that the Messiah is having a bad week and now Rasmussen shows McCain with a slight lead.
And all this before the stuff hits the fan about the illegal foreign donations that Obama has been accepting. [Atlas Shrugs] Now you know why Obama put the hold on filling the empty FEC position.
This guy embodies Chicago politics. I HOPE this will be his undoing.
