Obama Can’t Keep His Promises, Keeps Changing his Mind
Over at The Campaign Spot, Jim Geraghty observes that all Barack Obama’s promises have an expiration date:Â “Consumers should be aware that promises, pledged, and soul-healing rhetoric are only effective for a limited time; upon expiration they become ‘just words.’”
Jim then lists the various statements and promises the Democrat made, followed by the expiration date, when he changed his mind. (Just read the whole thing to see how this sort of behavior defines the Illinois Senator.)
In another post, Jim links what he calls Mary Katharine Ham’s “YouTube Masterpiece” on the flip-flops which “triggered” his post. Putting this together, this blogress found
. . . surprising, even to someone who’s followed the entire presidential race in great detail, the extent to which Obama has gotten away with blatant position switches, political opportunism, and outright lying while floating above us all as the post-partisan redeemer of America.
To show you just how opportunistic this Democrat is, watch the video:
Like Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama has made lots of promises. The Georgia Democrat didn’t keep many of his, but at least he waited until after his election to start breaking them. How can we trust a man to lead who can’t keep his word?
What does it say about a man’s ability to lead when he switches stands in order to tack to prevailing political winds?

I was talking to some friends tonight we saw that IL was a blue state and I realized nobody in IL made any comments about Obama and Chicago politics. The current governor is a Democrat and a great example of Chicago politics. He leads by force and intimidation and lets no other opinions stand. He is disliked by almost everyone I encounter, both Democrat and Republican. Haven’t we in IL learned?

No, we have in the country have not learned….
now where was the McCain Campaign to not use this great ad? grrrr!!
Did anyone notice in Nobama’s speech tonight he announced his re election campaign before he has even been sworn in when he used the line that it would take more then 4 years to put his agenda in place.
Hell no…..may the freedom fighters begin now!

He’s already said he would re-establish the Bush tax cuts when they expire because he couldn’t raise taxes in this envrironment.
Isn’t this the opposite of what his campaign was about?
As a matter of fact, isn’t this what McCain was proposing all along?
Yet… he was elected because HE had the BEST economic plan…. Incredible how dumb people are.
