What happened to the Democrat’s lead? Part of the slippage is Obama’s fault and part is McCain’s gain. Obama has carried flip-flopping to new heights. In the space of a month and a half, this candidate — who we don’t really yet know very well — reversed or sharply modified his positions on at least nine key issues: After vowing to eschew private fundraising and take public financing, he has now refused public money. Once he threatened to filibuster a bill to protect telephone companies from liability for their cooperation with national security wiretaps; now he has voted for the legislation. Turning his back on a lifetime of support for gun control, he now recognizes a Second Amendment right to bear arms in the wake of the Supreme Court decision. Formerly, he told the Israeli lobby that he favored an undivided Jerusalem. Now he says he didn’t mean it. From a 100 percent pro-choice position, he now has migrated to expressing doubts about allowing partial-birth abortions. For the first time, he now speaks highly of using church-based institutions to deliver public services to the poor. Having based his entire campaign on withdrawal from Iraq, he now pledges to consult with the military first. During the primary, he backed merit pay for teachers — but before the union a few weeks ago, he opposed it. After specifically saying in the primaries that he disagreed with Sen. Hillary Clinton’s proposal to impose Social Security taxes on income over $200,000 and wanted to tax all income, he has now adopted the Clinton position. Obama’s breathtaking flips and flops are materially different from McCain’s. While McCain had opposed offshore oil drilling and now supports it, the facts have obviously changed. Obama’s shifts have nothing to do with altered circumstances, just a change in the political calendar. As a candidate who was nominated to be a different kind of politician, Obama has set the bar pretty high. And, with his flipping and flopping, he is falling short, to the disillusionment of his more naïve supporters. One wag even called him the &quot;black Bill Clinton,&quot; a turnaround of the &quot;first black president&quot; moniker that had been pinned on Bill. Meanwhile, McCain and the Republicans have finally found an issue, oil drilling, exposing how the Democrats oppose drilling virtually anywhere that there might be recoverable oil. Not in Alaska. Not offshore. Not in shale deposits in the West. The Democratic claim that we &quot;cannot drill our way out of the crisis in gas prices&quot; begs the question of whether, had we drilled five years ago, we would be a lot less dependent on foreign market fluctuations. The truth is that the Democrats put the need to mitigate climate change ahead of the imperative of holding down gasoline prices at the pump. If there was ever a fault line between elitist and populist approaches to a problem, this is it. In fact, liberals basically don’t see much wrong with $5 gas. Many have been urging a tax to achieve precisely this level, just like Europe has done for decades. Obama said that he was unhappy that there was not a period of &quot;gradual adjustment&quot; to the high prices, but seems to shed few tears over the current levels. After all, if your imperative is climate change, a high gas price is worth 10 times a ratified Kyoto treaty in bringing about change. Republicans can drive a truck through the gap between this elite opinion and the need for ordinary people to afford the journey to work in the morning. And, with a 16-state media buy, the Republican Party and the McCain campaign are doing precisely that. If Obama softens his aversion to drilling, it may be the final straw for some of his liberal supporters. Where would they go? Nader is still a possibility. But McCain can attract liberal votes. He doesn’t need to bleed Obama only from the right. His own stands against drilling in Alaska and torture of terror suspects and for immigration reform make him suspect on the right, but quite acceptable to the left. If moderate liberals are disgusted by Obama’s obvious attempts at chicanery and repositioning, they might just cross the aisle.

As I see it, the only thing that Obama had to fight was his addiction to crack cocaine..not sure if he won that fight or not.. I guess some day we will know.. As for Berlin, Obama is grandstanding.. pretending that he is someone.. someone great, someone important and worth having the international world pay attention.. it is phoney as a $3. bill.. as is he.. He has no right and as the German Chancellor said .. that is something reserved for those already in office.. But Obama is so arrogant and indifferent to others and protocol that he is going anyway.. I would think he should be embarrassed.. but his arrogance won&#39;t allow him that priviledge. 2008-07-18T23:06:34Z sunshine-NObama By Charles Krauthammer Washington P... http://sodahead.com/blog/9673/ <div align="left"><a href="http://sodahead.com/user/profile/671/"> <img src="http://images.sodahead.com/images/profiles/0/0/0/0/0/0/6/7/1/profiles_VALSHwithborder_3228_695180_media_small.jpeg" align="middle" border="0" alt="valrie life's a Beach!"/> <small>valrie life's a Beach!</small></a> </div> <div><a href="http://sodahead.com/blog/9673/"></a> <b>0 raves</b> </div> By Charles Krauthammer Washington Post Writers Group Published on: 07/18/08 Barack Obama wants to speak at the Brandenburg Gate. He figures it would be a nice backdrop. The supporting cast —- a cheering audience and a few fainting frauleins —- would be a picturesque way to bolster his foreign policy credentials. What Obama does not seem to understand is that the Brandenburg Gate is something you earn. President Reagan earned the right to speak there because his relentless pressure had brought the Soviet empire to its knees and he was demanding its final &quot;tear down this wall!&quot; liquidation. When President Kennedy visited the Brandenburg Gate on the day of his &quot;Ich bin ein Berliner&quot; speech, he was representing a country that was prepared to go to the brink of nuclear war to defend West Berlin. Who is Obama representing? And what exactly has he done in his lifetime to merit appropriating the Brandenburg Gate as a campaign prop? What was his role in the fight against communism, the liberation of Eastern Europe, the creation of what George Bush 41 —- who presided over the fall of the Berlin Wall but modestly declined to go there for a victory lap —- called &quot;a Europe whole and free&quot;? Does Obama not see the incongruity? It&#39;s as if a German pol took a campaign trip to America and demanded the Statue of Liberty as a venue for a campaign speech. (The Germans have now gently nudged Obama into looking at other venues.) Americans are beginning to notice Obama&#39;s elevated opinion of himself. There&#39;s nothing new about narcissism in politics. Every senator looks in the mirror and sees a president. Nonetheless, has there ever been a presidential nominee with a wider gap between his estimation of himself and the sum total of his lifetime achievements? Obama is a three-year senator without a single important legislative achievement to his name, a former Illinois state senator who voted &quot;present&quot; nearly 130 times. As president of the Harvard Law Review, as law professor and as legislator, has he ever produced a single notable piece of scholarship? Written a single memorable article? His most memorable work is a biography of his favorite subject: himself. It is a subject upon which he can dilate effortlessly. In his victory speech upon winning the nomination, Obama declared it a great turning point in history —- &quot;generations from now we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment&quot; —- when, among other wonders, &quot;the rise of the oceans began to slow.&quot; As economist Irwin Stelzer noted in his London Daily Telegraph column, &quot;Moses made the waters recede, but he had help.&quot; Obama apparently works alone. Obama may think he&#39;s King Canute, but the good king ordered the tides to halt precisely to refute sycophantic aides who suggested that he had such power. Obama has no such modesty. After all, in the words of his own slogan, &quot;we are the ones we&#39;ve been waiting for,&quot; which, translating the royal &quot;we,&quot; means: &quot; I am the one we&#39;ve been waiting for.&quot; Amazingly, he had a quasi-presidential seal with its own Latin inscription affixed to his podium, until general ridicule —- it was pointed out that he was not yet president —- induced him to take it down. He lectures us that instead of worrying about immigrants learning English, &quot;you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish&quot; —- a language Obama does not speak. He further admonishes us on how &quot;embarrassing&quot; it is that Europeans are multilingual, but &quot;we go over to Europe, and all we can say is, &#39;merci beaucoup.&#39; &quot; Obama speaks no French. His fluent English does, however, feature many such admonitions, instructions and improvements. His wife assures us that President Obama will be a stern taskmaster: &quot;Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism ... that you come out of your isolation. ... Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.&quot; For the first few months of the campaign, the question about Obama was: Who is he? The question now is: Who does he think he is? We are getting to know. Redeemer of our uninvolved, uninformed lives. Lord of the seas. And more. As he said on victory night, his rise marks the moment when &quot;our planet began to heal.&quot; As I recall —- I&#39;m no expert on this —- Jesus practiced his healing just on the sick. Obama operates on a larger canvas. &gt; Charles Krauthammer is a Washington Post columnist. 2008-07-18T21:18:04Z valrie life's a Beach!
