Obama publicly acknowledged in his 2006 memoir, “The Audacity of Hope,” that he once harbored doubts about his initial anti-war posture. After watching the famous statue of Saddam Hussein being pulled down by jubilant Iraqis and seeing President Bush declare the end of major combat operations aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, “I began to suspect that I might have been wrong,” Obama says in the book.

During the 2004 Democratic Party convention, Obama declined to criticize the party’s presidential nominee, Sen. John Kerry, for having voted for the war, saying: “What would I have done? I don’t know. What I know is that from my vantage point the case was not made.”

The next day, Obama told the Chicago Tribune: “There’s not that much difference between my position and George Bush’s position at this stage.”

And that November, Obama echoed the president, telling PBS’ Charlie Rose: “Once we go in, then we’re committed.” Obama added: “We’ve got to do everything we can to stabilize the country to make it successful because we’ll have too much at stake in the Middle East.”

... shall I go on? Not that it matters since you'll keep sucking Obama's $%!@ like it was a lollipop even if he got up today and announced that his first act in office will be to drop a nuke on Iran.

Oh yeah because it's only one party that dodges investigations.

Sorry but i don't give a $%!@ about one party exploiting the system to go after another, whether it was the Religious Right $%!@ting their pants to impeach Bill Clinton or this bull$%!@ over Palin.

Anyone dumb enough to choose sides in these $%!@fests is just being a pawn. Politicians grilling each other aren't doing it for the American people, they're doing it to get revenge on each other and power over us.

Here's why I prefer one candidate over another

[Insert a bunch of talking points that have no connection to reality so you can keep on pretending that your candidate supports the same things you do]

But I bet if Obama was President, he'd have totally caught Osama by now. Sure two other presidents couldn't do it, but Obama is articulate!!!

Here's the thing about why you think one candidate is better than another, demographics.

When corporations want to sell you a product, they market it to your demographic. Obama is a product. McCain is a product. Obama is being marketed in ways to appeal to you, but the appeal is just marketing. The corporations wanted FISA and he backed FISA. The corporations want a war, he'll back a war.

Confusing the marketing with the man is the worst mistake you can make in politics. Politicians back one thing or another in order to appeal to a demographic, whether it's dog lovers, flag wavers, blacks, jews, gays, racists, patriots, whoever.

Then they make it to higher office and they dump all that for a new agenda. That's how it works, and all their supporters act like the teenage girl who realizes her favorite pop star is really a $%!@ but pretended to be into chastity to appeal to Christians, but now sings about lesbian kisses.

It's $%!@ing marketing. That's all it is. People who want to be famous sell their soul for a shot at the big time and they do what they're told.

with cell phones they're really mobile
