		<description>I don't think Senator Obama ever changed his mind. He and more importantly, his marketing team just changed the marketing message and provide the product 2.0. And for all of us who are living in the American Idol age and pretend to be a "cool" "dude", we are basically (Unfortunately, at least in this primary) voting an American Idol, not a President candidate. Sorry, this is the truth. The question is "Can you handle the truth?" :-D</description>

		<description>Oh and one other thing.. politicians shouldn't change their mind like a housewife does about dishes.. it's not suppose to be their mind to change. Again, they are a representative of the people. Using judgement is one thing..had he had different ideas he should have presented them to his followers... tried to turn their minds around first.</description>

		<description>A politican lies.. and we blog. Wow! Seriously...someone should make a blog on the lies that are told and the day it comes to light.. and then video tape the streets. It's all an act...it's all B.S. The guy uptop that said don't expect change from one man.. was completely right. 

And the guy that said "you supported him, so its unprofessional to bad mouth him".. ITS UNPROFESSIONAL TO LIE. He is a re-pre-sen-ta-tive of the people. Sound it out. So when he says here's my policies.. this is what I believe in.. and he gets votes.. and then the people speak and he says.. yes...I'm going to do that. HE NEEDS TO DO THAT. I don't necessarily agree w/ the masses.. but democracy=majority rules. Should be pretty simple. And if you think there's an excuse in "well he would have been labled as a terrorist lover if he hadn't". Let the news media talk.. and waste valuable brain cells. That's all their good for... my politicians are suppose to work for the people. Not shine. I'd rather a guy that looks dirty doing good work.. then looking pristine doing NOTHING.

It's up to the idiots in the world to see what they're really about. And all of you out their that pick sides in the beginning..w/out cause, reason, education, etc...You pick them b/c they're right for the job.. not because of what party they're from. The idea of partys in this stage of the game is ridiculous.. If they don't stand to their general ideas...then what's the point?

And on the last note.. as long as this Michael guy is paying the bills to run this site.........he can post whatever he wants. It may not be intelligent or fun or whatever... but he pays.. he can post. Choose not to read it.

Politicians lie. Presidents are made b/c they're the best at what they do.
Honesty seems to come from anger and guilt when you get that high up. Look at a few things W. Wilson had to say many years after his presidency. Kennedy was honest.. and he's dead for it. I don't know what the answer is... but it's certainly not blind trust.</description>

		<description>Sen. Obama's flip-flops--FISA, public funding, troop withdrawal, Jeremiah Wright, etc.--reek of opportunism and a lack of principle, and I expect that they will continue to build.  This is turning out to be a fun campaign season.</description>

		<description>Look, this all can be predicted. Senator Obama is a politician. In these days, politician is more like a product. There are huge marketing team (so called campaign team) who do the market research, carve out a brand, and then put up a value proposition. In primary, the anti-war sentiment is a good marketing tool and his team used it. In general election, centralist wins, so his team will move his brand to that. You can vote for Obama because you like him (as an American Idol) or you hate other candidates. But you can never vote for him because you believe him. Ask yourself, how many things that he has done (except speeches) actually demonstrated things that you can believe? (opt out public finance? claimed can unite people yet be considered as the most liberal Senator? or the way he commented to Senator Hillary, "you are likable enough?")

Senator Obama is a good speaker, a good product that can be built. That's all about it. Let's just vote our American Idol or pretend not be naive about this new product.</description>

		<description>@Chris (#86),

Obama loses any argument based on experience.  I'm actually a bit surprised that you would suggest voting for Obama over McCain based on senate experience and record.  I suppose you'd rather we vote based on Obama's 3 years of senate experience?  I'll take McCain's experience before Obama's promise of "change" any day.

To your point about McCain having a red carpet life - that may be true....but if that's your barometer for success, then you've just eliminated the majority of senators (and politicians in general) from the race.   Being poor doesn't make you right any more than being rich makes you right.  Character and integrity determine your path, and I think McCain wins on that front. 

Click the link below and read about McCain's time in the Hanoi Hilton.  Whatever silver spoon he was born with didn't do him much good in there.

		<description>The fact that so many people are whining about this being on TechCrunch is what's so scary.

I'm really not thrilled that so many people believe the Government having the right to spy on all of your communications is "not that big of a deal" or "news for a different blog". This should be news everyone hears, constantly. This deserves to be on talk shows, reality shows, children's shows, news, music and the internet. This is news you should be losing sleep over. 

To all the "Obama just lost my vote!" people - please understand that McCain supports the FISA amendments, and did not vote due to a necessity to distance himself from the Republican Party line, and specifically George W Bush. McCain believes in defeating the "transcendental" threat of terrorism (damn he uses that phrase a lot...) so much that he is all too willing to throw civil rights out the window. Voting for McCain because of Obama's flip-flop on this is not the solution.</description>
