Seems as though he might want his flock to think he's a little more liberal than he really is?

Dude, you can't have it both ways. You can call him a hypocrite or a decepticon or whatever, but either he's:

A) Uber liberal and is potraying himself as a centrist.

B) A centrist trying to show himself as a liberal.

How can you have one thread that talks about him selling out, and then another that talks about his commitment to "liberal" ideals?

That just makes it seem like you're desperate to pick on him no matter what he does.

Or -
C. Just a typical politician, telling his audience what he thinks they want to hear, tailoring what he says to the audience.

I simply ran across the article and thought it might interest some people. The article has the slant that Barack isn't a left-winger after-all. At least I'm open minded enough to read dissenting opinions.

Barack Hussein Obama. We are to believe that he is new and fresh unlike any politican we have ever seen. When he speaks old ladys faint and young ones wet their drawers. He is above the fray and is neither leftist or rightwinger. He is beholding to no one and has an unblemished past and does not stoop to the levels of hate politics. He is the messiah the chosen one to lead us from the dark days and give us hope and change.
YA right. Barack Husein Obama is just another liberal Democrat running for prez who has surrounded himself with the same advisors, speech writers, and money men who were joined at the hip to the likes of Carter, Gore and Kerry. He sends Westley Clark out to do his dirty work and the media carrys the water for the messiah and make the claim that Baracko does not agree with Wesleys comments and of course keep him above criticism. He has George Soros pulling the strings and using this new "fresh new candidate" in his latest attempt to reshape the US to fit his perspective. I know lots of folks who are not going to vote for Mccain but are damn sure gonna vote against the messiah. Laughing
