I can't help but wonder, if Obama is truly about "change", why does he insist on playing the typical game of politics? Their differences during the campaign and the debates were pretty evident, each believing that they were far and away superior to the other, and they never wasted an opportunity to point that out.
Now, though, Clinton seems damn-near ready to blow Obama for letting her on the same stage with him, and Obama is now praising Clinton at every turn.
A quick Google search finds some articles in which Obama slams Clinton, her policies, her votes, etc. Hell, if I looked long enough, I'm sure I'd find where he criticizes her pantsuits. Now, they're coordinating their wardrobes.
Just a sampling:
Obama Accuses Clinton of Deception - washingtonpost.com
Obama Criticizes Clinton's Drive to Win - washingtonpost.com
Obama criticizes Clinton over Iran threat - USATODAY.com
FOXNews.com - Barack Obama Accuses Hillary Clinton of Dodging Tough Questions About Social Security - Politics | Republican Party | Democratic Party | Political Spectrum
Obama criticizes Clinton's support for resolution on Iran - Boston.com
Now, I fully realize that this is all in the name of politics; Obama wants those votes. But how honest a guy is Obama, really, if he seemingly has dismissed all of the terrible things he's claimed about Clinton in order to get her support and garner more votes?
I haven't heard or read anything, since she dropped out of the race, in which Obama slams her. He digs her now. Now, she's a wonderful person and an "asset" to his campaign. Hell, he's written a personal check to help her campaign debt.
Frankly, if he were a man of conviction, he'd thank her for her offer of support, but say "no thank you", and cite their stark differences as reasons why he would not accept her support. But, apparently, Obama's idea of "change" in the political arena is to, in fact, change nothing at all. He's playing politics as usual, and his fans and supporters are buying his bullshit... |
So they're putting on this kissy love-fest for us.
I shit you not, an Obama spokesman admitted flat out....."We (meaning campaigners and journalists) don't buy it but maybe voters will buy it".
WTF??????
He then said they were just hoping to put on a show in hopes that people would eventually come to their senses and back Obama.
Truth is neither Hillary nor Obama has been honest during this election cycle.
Obama doesn't have the leadership traits to be individualistic and all he will be is a radical-left yes man for the Democrat leadership changing his belief which ever way the wind blows. He's always going to try to do what he thinks "Looks" good, not what "Is" good for this country.
So don't expect any change other then a constant errosion of our liberty's. One day we will wake up and nothing will mean anything anymore. Laws will be pretty much up to debate no matter how important they are. Too many of his supporters don't like this country and the way it has been run......many of them have lived outside our laws and they want them changed.
If a powerful enough Democrat decides he or she doesn't like a law, they'll just ignore it. Then it will be up to the offended party to have to take them to court to force them to follow our laws. Soon nobody will care about laws or respect authority anymore. You want to see this country go down the crapper real quick just let Obama get in the White House.
That is the change we can expect.
The only thing keeping all of this in check right now is the few people that are left in Washington that are half-assed decent. Soon those will be gone as well.
