LET’S HAVE A LOOKsey AT OBAMA’S FLIPseys

In January 2008, his campaign stated that Hillary Clinton and John Edwards were taking money from unions, or special interest groups.  He felt that was wrong.  He changed his mind when he began to receive monies from unions, however, and now is grateful and “thrilled” to be getting money from the working people of America.

Let’s see, early 2004 Obama was of the opinion that our government should not investigate and take to task those businesses hiring illegal immigrants.  Then, in early 2008, during a primary debate he stated, “we do have to crack down on those employers that are taking advantage of the situation.”

In January of 2004, during his run for Illinois senate, Obama made a heart felt speech to college students stating that he supported the removal of criminal penalties for marijuana use. However, in October of 2007, during one of the Presidential debates, he agreed with the other Democratic candidates running with him, that marijuana use should be a criminal act.

Again, a deceiving Obama stated that he would use public financing, which sets a cap to the amount of funds that can be spent during a Presidential campaign on advertising.  He waited until John McCain came out and agreed to take the public funds and then Obama back-pedalled and said he would not take it.  He can now spend as much as he wants to, while John McCain is proving to be a man of his word and taking the public funds, even though he will not be able to spend as much on advertising.  

Early this month he stated ”Well, I think we’ve got to gather up all of the intelligence necessary with the situation. But there’s no doubt that we’re seeing rising tensions in the area. And it’s part of the reason why it’s so important for us to have a coherent policy with respect to Iran. It has to combine much tougher threats of economic sanctions with direct diplomacy, opening up channels of communication, so that we avoid provocation but we give the strong incentives for the Iranians to change their behavior. We’ve got to have the kind of aggressive diplomacy that unfortunately has been absent over the last several years. If we don’t, then we’re going to continue to see rising tensions that could lead into real problems.”   But, wait, didn’t he say just a few months ago, “Iran, Cuba, Venezuela? These countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don’t pose any serious threat to us,”

Then again, he was for school vouchers for children in Washington D.C., but now….he’s against them.
