Obama's greatest vulnerability is his constant shifting of position on issues and clarifying of that position. The windfall profits idea may have been a compromise but to convert it to a tax is set's one more precedence for more government control. After four years of ineffective Democratic congressional controls we have ended up with a minimum wage increase, a band aid stimulus package to buy diamond earrings with, a fail immigration bill, a not through Biofuels debacle and now obstruction of the peoples will to increase oil supplies through more drilling. I think the American people want in return for their taxes whether it comes from oil, corporations, small business or personal. Consensus is part of democracy but it also requires compliance and the boundaries cannot be constantly shifting.

Obama is a Chicago politician pretending to now transcend politics. He is an empty suit pretending to have new solutions to our problems - solutions so complex he can't give the rest of us the details because we wouldn't understand them any way. He is a far-left liberal masquerading as a moerate. He is dangerous because he believes what the MSM and his fawning devotees say about him. Talk about the ultimate conservationist. He is recycling 1960's era big government: cleaning it up, repackaging it and selling it as new.

The Democrats arrogance on energy is beyond comprhension. Pelosi, the wicked witch of the west and sanctuary city knows her seat is safe with her loony left constituents. She does not care that she is endangering many of her fellow house Democrats She also knows that if she quit blocking the vote, it would pass in a New York minute. I also believe many Nevadans are tiring of that hack Reed. As far as Nobama is concerned, this show business creation is just an empty suited chameleon from the south side of Chicago. Wasn't Leroy Brown from there? We all remember what happened to him.

B. Hussein is just like John Kerry - the more people find out about him the more they choose to vote for the opposition. Especially damning for a US Presidential candidate is praise from Europeans, terrorists, and tyrants everywhere - Obama is a favorite of these. Ooops, guess that Obama World Tour '08 kinda backfired?

I am in the bag for Obama. Each time he open his mouth I am transported up, up and away on his oratorical balloon. He flaps his rhetorical feathers and I swoon. When I wake up, I jump up and down and scream. The man who has never done anything much but make speeches is surely the answer to America's problem at this point in wacky old history. Make more speeches. Thrust out your jaw, O Supreme Master of the Intergalactic Popularity Contest. Smile even more. Swagger a smidge more, O Mysterious One, even sitting down. Wave a lot. Yes, you can. Even if, in all candor, you refuse to acknowledge the success of the Surge, and that if it hadn't worked the U.S. would have already experienced its most humiliating defeat since Vietnam, and Iraq and the greater Middle East might have descended into the pit of a bloodier mess than even you could speechify your way out of ("As I've always said..." you always says), I am in the bag for Obama, I promise, I confess, just as soon as the lefty white coat boys quit beating me with their rubber cliches and let me loose.

McCain's attempt to picture Obama as a "celebrity" has been a tremendous success. For Paris Hilton. Her "counter ad," which ridicules McCain's advanced age -- "the oldest celebrity in the world" -- has been averaging over 200,000 hits per hour since it appeared. And has been seen by hundreds of millions of viewers on televisions around the world. The end result? Hilton has made a laughingstock of McCain and has succeeded in making his age an issue for many. Additionally, McCain is now the candidate negatively associated with Hilton, not Obama. The loser of this mini-brouhaha is? McCain, of course. And the winner? Paris Hilton, of course. And Obama? Who is he?

Obama is definitely the candidate of change. He changes his positions daily.
