Barack shifted on FISA = Bad Obama. This flip is indefensible.
Faith stuff. Barack agrees with Hillary on this one. They support faith-based initiatives. This was not a flip. I think religious groups do great works and if they can help make our society better without openly pushing their religion on you, we should help them. It is much more cost effective to fund already running soup kitchens than to start from scratch.
And Iraq. He has not shifted at all. Not even 0.1%. Anybody that says he is was not paying attention for the last 12 months or only heard what they wanted to hear. His position in a nutshell is: When he becomes President he will change the mission in Iraq to withdraw. He will then discuss the new mission with Generals on the ground to develop the withdrawal strategy. He thinks this can be done in about 16 months but has always left the door open to longer if a shorter time would put soldiers lives in jeopardy. Please link me to his recent comments that go against this policy.
Thank you! Someone with common sense! If you've read The Audacity of Hope you already know that he supports faith based charities and in fact considers helping the poor and feeding the hungry to be a primary mission in his role as a leader. And the Iraq "flip" was misleading media hype and McCain campaign spin.
The "drifting right" meme is so powerful now that supporters who want to criticize him are embracing false information in order to give more weight to their argument. Don't spread the lies, folks!
