Decocratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama rejected charges on Tuesday that he has shifted positions on Iraq and other issues as part of a move to the political center now that he is his party's nominee...
My comment on this is:
ofcourse Obama flip floped.....again
His complicated world view does not have the best interests of Americans in mind.
He will be anything you want him to be as long as you vote him into office. Then you will find out the real deal behind Obama's smile...

First of all, every politician, probably since the beginning of the two party system, will lean to the left or the right, depending on which party's nomination they're trying to secure, during the primary season then once they're the nominee they move to the center, which is where most people are to begin with. It's been called "triangulation". I don't see how Obama as shifted his position on Iraq, rather that he's explained his position in more detail. In general, people do sometimes change their minds or modify their positions. That's not always a bad thing if they explain themselves, unlike McBush who flip-flops on everything but denies he ever said what he's previously said, even when the video is played back for him.

I have admit I am not a great fan of Obama just because I think he is a sneaky person, willing to say anything or do anything to get elected. Some people will even go so far and say I am a racist because of it! Can you imagine that! How about looking at the issues because that is what it comes down to...his idea of universal medical will bankrupt our country. The idea of keeping the borders open is a security nightmare. Come on, folks, wake up!
