to two or three day stay in Israel. Maybe he'll spend a couple of hours in Iraq, and check McCain's recent criticism off his list of todo's [done]

Obama to arrive in Israel on July 22 or July 23

there was a story on Obama and his "sermons" (it seems now he is a Reverend so to speak - excuse the pun) that he was urging outreach to churchgoers in St. Louis to an almost all black ministry at the African Methodist Epsicopal Church, which btw is one of the nation's largest and most politically and civically active Black denominations. He was encouraging church involvement to solve US problems. You see, he did learn something from Reverend Wright after 20 years attending his church. As the article went on praising him, to me it sounded as if they were praising the Pope or Gandhi for his efforts in trying to bring awareness to family values and moral issues.

His speech was considered his most enthusiatic delivery of late, and had employed preacher's cadences that were interruped frequently by Amens and yes. Well now.. How about that. I stand to be corrected when I say, Presumptive Democratic Dumbass... it should Presumptive Reverend Dumbass Sir.

I should preface that in lieu of Obama trying to achive votes from the evangelical Christian voters, and analysts being skeptical of that happening due to his support on gay rights, abortion and other liberal issues, I will give him one high five for atleast supporting gay rights and abortion (even though I have mixed feelings on the abortion issue.)

Even though this blog is about Obama's stance on his position on Iraq, I just thought it was an interesting tidbit to add on how much of a sniveling little sneaky snake of a politician he truly is and will wear not just any empty suit, but any suit of color that "suits" him and the audience at hand... meaning... he will say and do anything to get your vote.

I hope when Obama says... he is going to bring the troops home in a timely manner, it is in A TIMELY MANNER and prompt. To be honest, whether it is Clinton, Obama or McCain.. we are so inbedded in Iraq right now, that regardless of what anyone says... don't hold your breath as to when these troops will be home for good. Bush made sure of that! Bases need to be built, oil needs to be drilled and terrorist all reside in Iraq and need to be found. O yea, we are certainly there for the long haul-iburton.

Obama: I'm "Puzzled" By Reaction To Iraq Comments
Barack Obama told reporters yesterday that his statement about refining his policy of withdrawing from Iraq was not in any way inconsistent with his previous statements. "I was a little puzzled by the frenzy that I set off with what I thought was a pretty innocuous statement," Obama said on a plane flight.

Well I be look's like this ole Tomcat still is a man without a candate, some of you have seen my blogs an may not aggree, well I don't care. But what I saw today on CNN news video dosen't set good with me at all so maybe Il'l start taking more pop shot's at dem's. espisally since Owhata changed his mind first he wants imedate withdrawl now it's well I have to look at it an it could take 16 month's. I can't find a goog party leader no were. Same ole flip flop B.S. if you ask me. Isn't there any good canidates anymore.

Um, opposing the war was probably THE defining issue between him and McCain. If he plans to moderate his stance, he should make that pronouncement AFTER he's elected. Practically speaking, he's being open-minded. I know this. But that doesn't change the fact that it's a stupid move. Just ask John Kerry.

In one sense it seems like he's trying to be honest about his positions instead of saying what everybody wants to hear. Yet at the same time, it also kind of looks like he might be doing the "run to the fringe in the primary, run to the middle" trick almost every presidential candidate pulls. And conveniently the current crap being spouted by the pundits is how the middle will be crucial in this election. As if they aren't crucial in every election.

Before long, McCain will start re-adopting his old centrist talking points. It's an old story, and I'm tired of it. And it probably guarantees that we'll have another very close election. How can it be any other way when the two candidates moderate their views to where they look only shades different from one another?

I can hear the call of the talk radio hawks circling in the distance, moving in for the attack. It sounds like, "flip...flop...flip...flop".
