Once again, Barack Obama wants it both ways
first with the war, where he brags about being the only true anti-war candidate of all of them (when Kucinich is the only one), and then goes on to vote YES on every funding bill that enables the war to go on (and yes, I already know that Hillary votes to fund the war, too, along with Obama).

and now with NAFTA, where he tells Americans one thing and then has one of his spokespersons telling Canadians not to worry about anything happening to NAFTA if he's elected President because he was only talking against NAFTA in the States for political purposes.

What a hypocrite this guy is.

25. In my opinion, this issue should concern the Obama campaign.
Since there is a good chance that Senator Obama will be the nominee, I hope the campaign comes up with a better rebuttal of the issue.

2. It's a rigged game.
All players are corporofascist to one degree
or another.

That's why I have to really suck it up and
hold my nose when I vote in November.

5. Can't you read?
Even if Obama is the decided nominee
after tomorrow, Hillary supporters still
have a week 'to get it out of their systems'
here on DU. Unless Skinner stepped down and
left you in charge.

9. You're right. He is an intentional hypocrite
Whatever it takes to win, he'll do it, even if he's intentionally misleading two countries to accomplish his goal.

Edited on Mon Mar-03-08 10:41 AM by flyarm
and then had his neoliberal from Univ O Chicago..leo strauss land..go to a mia culpa to the CANADIANS BEHIND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE'S BACK..he just didn't think he would be caught and exposed...

well he has been..

CNN showed the memo this morning..they have a copy of it.

Obama is a sneaky lying politician..you better know it before you nominate him..and you better be prepared if we dems do nominate him..that the Repigs will not play nicey nice with the lies.

12. Clinton: Consistently wrong - but at least I'm consistent!
Doesn't really work as a rationale to vote for someone.

16. Oh, you thought freedom of speech meant people would listen.
Not when it comes to Obama, they won't. After all, love is blind!

They are both politicians. So yeah... um... politicians kind of do that, now and then. Sometimes even... *GASP*... during elections!

22. WTF?

You need to do your homework. Only one politician is playing NAFTA both ways with two different countries, and it's not Hillary.

26. The sad thing is that it might be too late by the time some Democrats realize it
Obama reminds me more and more of one of those tacky televangelist preachers who suckers in large groups of people who can't think for themselves. All he does is promise hope and change, but never tells 'em how he's going to perform his miracles, just that he'll deliver. The weak of mind always flock to someone like that and then get kicked in their teeth for their efforts.
