Obama the Ho?

As the presidential campaign lingers on, we're all beginning to see the true colors of our friend Barack Obama. He's a ho.

Demonstrating his willingness to pander to the right now that he thinks he's locked up the left, Obama did an about face on his positions on campaign finance, NAFTA, welfare reform, faith based initiatives and even military service. Even the Wall Street Journal has accused him of running for George W. Bush's 3rd term in today's edition. Not too far off, if you ask me. The bottom line is blatantly obvious: Barack Obama is willing to do and say anything to get himself elected. What he ultimately does if successful is anyone's guess. I'll even go one step further and speculate even HE doesn't know yet, either.

I'm beginning to applaud John McCain's "strategy" (whether planned or accidental) to take a back seat approach to his own campaign. Letting Barack Obama self destruct seems to be in the cards. It's what we used to predict in Hollywood for celebrities too big for their britches. After all, the election is Obama's to lose. Pass the popcorn, please.

Final thought: let's relate the current foreclosure debacle with America's willingness to vote for Barack Obama. Those same Americans who signed on the bottom line without reading the fine print (and who are now in foreclosure) are the same Americans willing to elect a candidate of change without reading Obama's fine print: higher taxes, higher gas prices and less money to spend on themselves.

Now that's a change I can certainly believe in.
