Obama or McCain: Who Has Made The Biggest Flip-Flops During the Campaign?

Posted October 24, 2008

I don't understand why there is a question about who to vote for. after hearing the way Obama speaks...he sounds like he doesn't know what he's talking about! Another thing..the names he mentions or that have been mentioned a lot through out his campaign...Rev. Jeremiah Wright and his thoughts and what he has said, BILL AYERS and what he's done! and Louis Farrakhan. Those people scare me! I don't want to be afraid of my candidate and who his acquaintances or friends are. There is no way I would allow someone with even the smallest bit of friendship, or any type of acquaintance with any one who says anything bad about this country or has harmed people in anyway be able to even run for president! That was a huge reason for me to look the other way! He has no leadership skills why do people think he'd makea good president!?!?!?! I don't understand! There is no way he could possibly be prepared to do such a huge task, to be the president of the U.S.A. OUR LEADER!!!!Theres NO way i could vote for Obama!

Long record of filp-flops

American people are smarter than that. Obama has a long record of flip-flops. It is understandable, Obama has only a tissue paper-thin resume, with no experiences, no past records, no and life-time government achievements, and has never been tested as a leader, or commander-in-chief in the real world, a dnagerous world after 9/11.

Couldn't tell you...

If it weren't for those list, I wouldn't have known Obama made any flip-flops. Especially since all the mainstream media illuminati have done is sing his praises. He can do no wrong in their eyes, nor can his liberal alliances.

Obama has a long record of flip-flops. It is understandable, he says anything, and promises anything, to get elected. Who is the real Barack Obama? He as only a thin thin job-resume, a questionable past, and ties with questionable people such as Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers and Louis Farrakhan, and he has no real experiences, no executive leadership experience, no true records and no life-time government-achievements. He is absolutely untested, unfit and unprepared to deal with the coming international crises, in the next 6 months.

McCain is not talking about the american's

what i notice is that McCain in his face talk with Obama likes to insult or talks about obamas speeches than talking about the American peoples.he lives with old memories as what he did for the Ame rican government which is not evident that he can role America.i think obama is the right presidential candided for america

Using the Rudder to Change Course when Necessary

One of the hallmarks of the Bush Administration has been to decide on a course of action (usually way too fast) and cling to that course of action (usually way too long). Anybody with a lick of sense knows that errors in judgement will sometimes be made and will hopefully be corrected when a better plan becomes clear.

Sometimes the president will need to act decisively in an emergency. He should however, have the skill to look objectively at refining his plan as needed. Idealogues never get this. It's "my way or the highway". I think we have all learned to our detriment that this doesn't work.

Bloodletting

Do you live in a cave or are you just that stupid?

And I don't drink kool aid you jerk close minded

racist.

Greasy Politicians

They both will say whatever they think will get them elected. Not an honest bone in their body...that is why I voted for Ron Paul in the primary and will vote for Bab Barr in the presidential election.

I know Barr is speaking from the heart when he says he has changed his mind on things; he is not doing it to get votes. How do I know? Because his change made him LESS popular, but he believes in what he now says.

We are so far down the trail to a Socialist Police State that either of these two clowns will just facilitate our downfall. We need a complete change of direction, not the minor changes that these two talk about! We need to go back to the values that made this country great; self-reliance, instead of government aid; protecting ourselves, instead of looking for a cop; teaching ourselves and our children instead of having government appointed nannies; struggling to make something of ourselves instead of being "made equal" through wealth redistribution!

I look forward to the day when the Reps and Dems are a distant memory, and the Libertarians are the party of choice!

Flip-Flop or growing up

A flip-flop is changing a position to seduce voters into believing you're on their side. Growing up is changing a position for the good of the country. It requires breaking with tradition and arrogance and doing what's right. Obama's position has always being to incite dialogue and then reach a position that shows a commitment to the realities of the world. It is not willed in arrogance, nor fettered by the notion of changing one's position means giving in to pressure. It is about not being right but doing the right thing. It is about stepping back evaluating the situation and then proposing or leading a positive outcome. Hindsight is always 20/20, however in matters that are clear and tangible Obama has shown exceptional judgment. McCain does have the admiration and gratitude of our country. However, changing positions after the fact is reactionary and not a quality of someone who aspires to be the president of the United States.

Obama Is Evil Incarnate

Quit drinking the kool-aid people! Obama is the anti-christ! In a short while, you will see the polished figure showing cracks, but you will go a,long with it because you believe him to be the Messiah. Turn back, o' man! Forswear thy foolish ways!
