Yes he did have to take those political actions. Thats why I
think he is a typical politician, just the same, not really unique.
What is the difference with other politicians who change course
depending on which way the wind blows?
I did watch the US campaign. At first I have good impression of
this guy.......young, energetic, and being black, there is a
sense of freshness and change, and being the underdog it is easy to
sympathize with him. I wanted him to win and rooted for him.
But after a while cracks begin to show, and it seems he got
corrupted by the campaign whirlwind. He sells his principles out.
Or maybe there was no principle, it was just a show only, like a
good salesman conning you.
For instance,
Didnt he at first want to 'unify' , avoid 'politics of
destruction' so on etc, sounds so good, but by middle of
process when Hillary was fighting hard and almost catching up, he
himself participated in this 'politics of destruction'. He did
negative attacks.
Another one, anti-NAFTA. This is very significant. This episode
paints him as a total politician.
What is the difference between him and Hilarry on this
anti-NAFTA issue? None. Both are pretending and lying, they know
free trade is good, but they become turncoat anti-NAFTA and racing
with each other trying to slam NAFTA. They said all sorts of lies,
saying wanting to re-negotiate, when renegotiation is not posible,
the treaty is done deal.
Third, the most cringe worthy moment....he dumped his pastor to
save his own skin.
Actually he didnt want to admit he attend a militant black
church which sometimes slam white people, it is uncomfortable for
him. For me, it is understandable black churches sometimes slam
white people, thats not such a shocking thing. But Obama is put in
an awkward position, embarassing position, and he had to
pretend.
First speech abt it, sounds so noble, it is a 'craft' or a PR
trick to mask his true past in that church and deflect attention.
That is still ok. But the worst is when he strongly dumped his
pastor later. I got very bad vibe from this. From a guy-next-door
image, sincere-guy image, he totally don the mantle of an ultimate
politician, quick and adept, and willing to stab his own pastor
when occasion calls for it.
In life, certain things just cannot be done. He reminds me of a
son who goes into business, then back-stab his own father to
further his business interest.
What is the difference with this? Ok little bit diff. He is a
man who goes into politics, then back-stab his own 20-year pastor
to further his political interest.
Ok another one.......initially I was impressed with his
intellect, in the debates he is very good, especially on foreign
policy.
Now he is back-pedalling, and has to repeatedly pander to Jewish
groups. Endlessly and ceaselessly. You can see the plot already,
can see the scenario.
So now, and in future if he becomes president, he will just
continue to 'prove' his jewish-friendliness, and all those early
talks about Iran and Middle East, about new direction in foreign
policy, will just be moot, empty talk. He will be taken hostage and
wont dare to take any action which might offend those groups. A
very typical pandering politician who has to sell himself.
I have more to rant, but now I am hungry and I must go for
dinner....see u all later....
PS: my fav is Ron Paul
Meat Pao.
Figures that a pro-PAP syncoplant would support an idiotic
libertarian. Wait, you don't even understand that word do you?
Judging from all the comments in this thread, half you lot don't
even know what the fuck you are talking about. Obama a Muslim
jeez..... He has a bloody Pastor idiots.
