"Chameleon" best describes Obama. "CHANGE" he''s got that right, he will CHANGE into anything the political climate dictates.

Strange isn''t it. Obama has flip flopped on every one of those issues also. And more! He just flip flopped on telecoms today!

And you didn''t even mention hand gun control! Nor his support for oil companies.

My, my, my.

McFlop:
* McCain believed the U.S. should engage in diplomacy with Hamas. Now he believes the opposite.
* McCain believed the U.S. should engage in diplomacy with Syria. Now he believes the opposite.
* McCain supported his own lobbying-reform legislation from 1997. Now he doesn%u2019t.
* McCain supported the Lieberman/Warner legislation to combat global warming. Now he doesn%u2019t.
* McCain pledged in February 2008 that he would not, under any circumstances, raise taxes. Specifically, McCain was asked if he is a %u201C%u2018read my lips%u2019 candidate, no new taxes, no matter what?%u201D referring to George H.W. Bush%u2019s 1988 pledge. %u201CNo new taxes,%u201D McCain responded. Two weeks later, McCain said, %u201CI%u2019m not making a %u2018read my lips%u2019 statement, in that I will not raise taxes.%u201D
* McCain is both for and against a %u201Crogue state rollback%u201D as a focus of his foreign policy vision.
* In 1998, he championed raising cigarette taxes to fund programs to cut underage smoking, insisting that it would prevent illnesses and provide resources for public health programs. Now, McCain opposes a $0.61-per-pack tax increase, won%u2019t commit to supporting a regulation bill he%u2019s co-sponsoring, and has hired Philip Morris%u2019 former lobbyist as his senior
* McCain has changed his mind about a long-term U.S. military presence in Iraq on multiple occasions.

Rowdy hates flip floppers, unless they''re named McCain.

McFlip:
* McCain supported the drilling moratorium; now he%u2019s against it.
* McCain strongly opposes a windfall-tax on oil company profits. Three weeks earlier, he was perfectly comfortable with the idea.
* McCain thought Bush%u2019s warrantless-wiretap program circumvented the law; now he believes the opposite.
* McCain defended %u201Cprivatizing%u201D Social Security. Now he says he%u2019s against privatization (though he actually still supports it.)
* McCain wanted to change the Republican Party platform to protect abortion rights in cases of rape and incest. Now he doesn%u2019t.
* McCain thought the estate tax was perfectly fair. Now he believes the opposite.
* He opposed indefinite detention of terrorist suspects. When the Supreme Court reached the same conclusion, he called it %u201Cone of the worst decisions in the history of this country.%u201D
* McCain said he would %u201Cnot impose a litmus test on any nominee.%u201D He used to promise the opposite.
* McCain believes the telecoms should be forced to explain their role in the administration%u2019s warrantless surveillance program as a condition for retroactive immunity. He used to believe the opposite.
* McCain supported storing spent nuclear fuel at Yucca Mountain in Nevada. Now he believes the opposite.
* McCain supported moving %u201Ctowards normalization of relations%u201D with Cuba. Now he believes the opposite.

have. They are brilliant. Fantastic, straigthforward writing. His insight is unrivaled. His humility and his progress toward understanding himself, his mixed-race heritage and how both fit into the American life are unmatched. What ours blindly see as negatives I see as working the metal into steel. As barriers in his struggles that he overcame. His books are honest, raw and heart touching. Barack Obama is the future face of America, brown, mixed, from a dozen or more nationalities and coming out of a long struggle and into the light. I applaud him and look forward to the future of America under the guidance of him and those that will follow. They are our hope for a new America that is really a return to, a fulfilment of the ideals our forefathers expressed more the 230 years ago. Barack is the embodiment of the melting pot that can make America great again.

You, on the other hand, are a hack.
