Obama: Old Book / New Cover
We are witnessing yet another transformation of Barak Obama. From darling of the left to champion of middle America. Changing his positions, tweaking views and morphing his rhetoric to fit his needs is something at which he excels. He is certainly not the first politician to pander - in fact we’ve come to almost expect it during election season. The difference with Obama is that he so darn good at it.
One reason his chameleon routine works so well is that he rarely takes a discernable view on anything remotely controversial. He speaks in generalities and vague allusions that stir the emotions of the faithful.
For a man that claims to be “above it all”, he has certainly shown to be up to his waist in the muck he eschews. His political skills, combined with a strong anti-Republican sentiment sweeping the nation - plus the ongoing ineptitude of the McCain campaign, means that he is the prohibitive favorite as our new leader. Or should I say our old leader. We’ve seen this before. Old Book / New Cover.
