WHY OBAMA MOVE TO CENTER?!?!?

BARACK OBAMA MOVE WAY TO CENTER NOW. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE MEDIA TELLS ME BOUT IT. THEY SAY LOTS OF STUFF ABOUT IT AND THEY ACT CONCERNED AND I LEARN MY STUFF FROM THEM CAUSE THEY REALLY SMART AND THEY NOT FOCUS ON TINY STUFFS NEVER.

SO YESTERDAY JUNE 31RD I CHECK HIS WEBSITE AND HE CHANGE ALL HIS ISSUES NOW HE NOT SUPPORTS LIBERAL STUFF HE HATE ME CAUSE I HIPPIE?!???????
WHY HE CHANGE ENTIRE WEBSITE AND REMOVE LIBERAL STUFFS?

CHECK OUT WEBSITE. WHY NO MORE PROGRESSIVE STUFFS:

HE BUST UNIONS LIKE RAGAN:

Labor

Obama will strengthen the ability of workers to organize unions. He will fight for passage of the Employee Free Choice Act. Obama will ensure that his labor appointees support workers' rights and will work to ban the permanent replacement of striking workers. Obama will also increase the minimum wage and index it to inflation to ensure it rises every year.

HE DENY GLOBAL WARMING NOW LIKE ENHOFF!
Set America on Path to Oil Independence

Obama's plan will reduce oil consumption by at least 35 percent, or 10 million barrels per day, by 2030. This will more than offset the equivalent of the oil we would import from OPEC nations in 2030.

Increase Fuel Economy Standards: Obama will double fuel economy standards within 18 years. His plan will provide retooling tax credits and loan guarantees for domestic auto plants and parts manufacturers, so that they can build new fuel-efficient cars rather than overseas companies. Obama will also invest in advanced vehicle technology such as advanced lightweight materials and new engines.
Improve Energy Efficiency 50 Percent by 2030
Set National Building Efficiency Goals: Barack Obama will establish a goal of making all new buildings carbon neutral, or produce zero emissions, by 2030. He'll also establish a national goal of improving new building efficiency by 50 percent and existing building efficiency by 25 percent over the next decade to help us meet the 2030 goal.

HE NO CARE BOUT FAILING INNER CITY SCHOOLS NOW NEITHER!
Recruit, Prepare, Retain, and Reward America's Teachers

Recruit Teachers: Obama will create new Teacher Service Scholarships that will cover four years of undergraduate or two years of graduate teacher education, including high-quality alternative programs for mid-career recruits in exchange for teaching for at least four years in a high-need field or location.

HE SUPPORT WAR IN IRAQ NOW I KNOWS THIS BECAUSE DICK MORRIS AND JOHN MCCAIN TELLS ME:
Ending the War in Iraq

Judgment You Can Trust: As a candidate for the United States Senate in 2002, Obama put his political career on the line to oppose going to war in Iraq, and warned of "an occupation of undetermined length, with undetermined costs, and undetermined consequences." Obama has been a consistent, principled and vocal opponent of the war in Iraq:
In 2003 and 2004, he spoke out against the war on the campaign trail;
In 2005, he called for a phased withdrawal of our troops;
In 2006, he called for a timetable to remove our troops, a political solution within Iraq, and aggressive diplomacy with all of Iraq's neighbors;
In January 2007, he introduced legislation in the Senate to remove all of our combat troops from Iraq by March 2008.
In September 2007, he laid out a detailed plan for how he will end the war as president.
Bring Our Troops Home: Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months. Obama will make it clear that we will not build any permanent bases in Iraq. He will keep some troops in Iraq to protect our embassy and diplomats; if al Qaeda attempts to build a base within Iraq, he will keep troops in Iraq or elsewhere in the region to carry out targeted strikes on al Qaeda.

WHO WILL SAVE US FROM BARACK OBAMA HE TO RIGHT OF JOE LIEBERMAN NOW. I TOTALLY NOT FREAKING OUT GETTING EMOTIONAL LIKE LITTLE CHILD. I THOUGHT HE WAS GOD WITH 100% RECORD OF PERFECT RHETORIC AND PLANS (BECAUSE I AM STUPID) BUT NOW I KNOW BETTER BYE I'M NOT GONNA KNOCK DOORS TIL THE MEDIA TELLS ME HE PANDER TO ME AGAIN.

Re: WHY OBAMA MOVE TO CENTER?!?!? (none / 0)

Why does he care about poor kids in his new support for faith based programs?  Why does he want to spend $500 million on poor kids?  That is something a progressive would care about.

I agree with you in spirit, (none / 0)

and this was certainly amusing, in its way. But the FISA thing isn't a joke.

Re: I agree with you in spirit, (none / 0)

the FISA issue is disappointing, but the point here is that it's being used to create this false narrative that Obama has suddenly shifted rightward and given the finger to all his liberal constituents.

And also, he hate you because you hippie.

Hopefully, the action on his website/supporters  change his mind.  He hasn't ruled out not voting for it as far as I know.

Re: I agree with you in spirit, (none / 0)

Agree on FISA. We should pressure him on it. Maybe he can deliver and remove amnesty. It's not a big issue for me, but I kind of feel for my peers in the blogosphere who aren't being listened to.

The rest of the malarkey this week? Some tiny rhetorical slips that may or may not mean something? It's malarkey.

Yes, he needs to be pressured, if possible. (2.00 / 1)

I joined the "Senator Obama-Please Vote Against FISA" group this morning on MyBO. We need to be sending him emails directly and expressing our discontent. This is too big to ignore.

Re: WHY OBAMA MOVE TO CENTER?!?!? (none / 0)

I cannot figure out why he would move to the center during a general election.  Can someone please explain it to me?

What is pragmatism?  

Are there games/strategies in political elections that go beyond golden visions of idealism?  If so, I didn't know that.

If Obama is playing the game to get elected, how on Earth will he ever be able to change Washington and make it more tranparaent, cut lobbyists out, and not make wars on based Propoganda, fix the screwed borrow and spend system, how can ever do that now because he played the game with strategy to get to Washington?

What does disconnect mean?

I am concerned

"HE HATE ME CAUSE I HIPPIE?!???????"

No, but get a damn haircut, and stop driving that VW bug with all this stickers on it?

And, what's with all those Grateful Dead bootlegs anyway?

I wish we could insert sound effects in reply.  For you, the sound of a cuckoo clock would suffice.

Right because (2.00 / 1)

going on tour with gay haters like D. McClurkin and attacking UHC using the Republican framing, trashing the last Democratic presidency- is oh so very left.

Yup, sure is.

Oh, I'm sorry.  Didn't realize you hadn't heard the news.  Yeah, just so you know, the primary is over.

Re: Right because (2.00 / 1)

It debatable wehter or not those things happened to some degree.  Tell me ZSG, did the Clinton campaign engage in any right wing framing.  We could debate these heatedly, no?  What purpose would such arguments serve?
