Has Barack Obama Peaked Too Soon?

There is nothingPoetic about McCain getting a free ride from the media? McCain has flip-flopped, pandered, lied and stumbled his way through the last 3 weeks and I have heard virtually nothing from the media.

When you step back and look at Obamas positions on the issues, with any objectivity at all, you will see that his positions are very commonsensical and well thought out.

Nobody wants our constitution trampled under or rampant wiretapping,but we must admit there are situations and individuals that dictate that we must have a mechanism in place with proper oversight. The FISA legislation is not perfect but it is better than nothing.

Most of us think that Abortion is a shame and should never occur.Many of us believe that, ultimately, it is the pregnant woman and her family that should make this decision.We are not anti-life, we are pro choice.Late term abortions should not take place without a valid reasons ( possible death of mother,etc) Emotional distress should not be an excuse, mental illness ?.Possibly.There is not one law that can address every possible situation.

When people actually read the votes and research the reason for a vote or opinion expressed by Barack Obama, they normally find they are full of very sound logic and a common sense conclusions. Now, You may too blinded by your preconceived ideas and suppositions but that is your problem.

The certification of our nominee is in August. Hillary has suspended not ended her campaign. I speak for me not Hillary when I say Hillary needs to be on nomination roll call ballot. During the last 2 weeks Obama has been all over the place like a cube of Jello. I don't know if his promises for Universal Healthcare and getting out of Iraq in 16 months will be certainties once he is elected. This spectacle with Gernmany is embarrassing for the US, an Obama administration may make us miss Bush. I am tired of Democrats ,including Hillary who I adore, telling me we are all part of the Democrat family so support Obama. And pundits saying we Hillary supporters will all unite behind the nominee. HELLO. 20% of the US electorate are swing voters from states like mine. They do not unite behibnd a candidate because of party. Like all swing voters, I am not part of the Democratic family nor the Republican family but the American family. I voted for Reagan in 84 and Bush in 92. Bill Clinton's policies changed me to a dem for about a decade. The liberals are so jealous of the Clintons they will do whatever it takes to destroy them, even if that involves destroying the country. I am sure there are MORE than 18 million cracks in the ceiling by now.

To Wolfgang:

Another thing that makes BlackJack in Vegas more fun than betting on politics is the free drinks and the "buxom" waitresses who deliver them to you at the tables.

Back to Reality: Obama is really an "empty suit". He has indeed changed course ("flip-flopped") on many of his policies, but refuses to admit it. He is a very convincing liar when he tells people he "has been consistent" on this or that matter, despite the presence of audiotapes that prove otherwise. I'm beginning to think that, in this category (lying) at least, he ranks right up there with W. J. Clinton.
