Who said Obama does not flip flop? Note his style in the last two paragraphs of the follwing news item.?

Obama says he'd challenge 'dirty' election Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama says he would fight tooth and nail if the 2008 U.S. presidential were close and dirty as the last two.





At a town hall meeting in Jefferson, Iowa, undecided voter Bruce Banister asked Obama if he would challenge the election if you think it is dirty, or if he would back away, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Tuesday.





Obama said he would win by such a margin that it won't even be close and they can't steal the election.





But if results were close as in the 2000 and 2004 election, Obama said (We) will fight it tooth and nail till the end.





His answer however, didn't jibe with his vote on the first day in the U.S. Senate, when he joined a 74-1 majority voting not to challenge President Bush's disputed victory in Ohio in 2004 when Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., was the Democratic nominee. In 2000, former Vice President Al Gore challenged results in Florida that went before the U.S. Supreme Court.





Obama said he voted with the majority because Kerry indicated he wouldn't challenge the Ohio results.

OTHER EXAMPLES OF OBAMA’S FLIP FLOPPS:





1) Why has he sometimes said his first name is Arabic, and other times Swahili? Why did he make up names in his first book, as the introduction acknowledges? Why did he say two years ago that he would "absolutely" serve out his Senate term, which ends in 2011, and that the idea of him running for president this cycle was "silly" and hype "that's been a little overblown"?





2) Dodd says Obama flip-flopped on social security. Senator Barack Obama's characterized the highly successful Social Security program as being in "crisis," just nine days after he said the opposite stating that "Social Security is not in crisis."





3) Obama flip-flopped on his “one America” position—in his “one America” speech. He said that while Illinoisans don’t expect the government to solve their problems, Illinoisans are going to kick and scream until the government solves their problems.





4) Obama flip-flopped on Alito ("A filibuster would be a waste" then "OK, I'll support a filibuster as a symbolic gesture") and he flip-flopped on lobbying reform.





5) In one debate at Dartmouth College, in Hanover, New Hampshire, with Tim Russert serving as Moderator, Obama just flip-flopped and stated to Tim Russert that he would "do everthing necessary" to stop Iran from becoming a Nuclear Power. If Senator Obama vacillates on his postion when Tim Russert poses a question to him, what would Obama do or say in tense discussions with World Leaders. I reiterate that Obama lacks Leadership.


6) Obama flip-flopped on the Iraq war. Obama was an opponent of the Iraq War from its inception, when he was an Illinois state senator. But later he also said the U.S. now had an obligation to see the war through. "I don’t think any of us should be rooting for failure in Iraq at this point," he said. "This is no longer George Bush’s war. This is our war." . Obama said he would support sending more troops to Iraq if it would hasten the end of the war. An immediate withdrawal, he said, would create "an extraordinary hotbed of terrorist activity" and be "a slap in the face" to the troops fighting there. However, in January, Obama proposed legislation that would have started pulling out troops in May 2007 with a goal of having all combat troops out by March 31, 2008.
Reply:Obsma is for "Change", right? Report It

Reply:Kerry was the one who should have challenged it! If he wasn't man enough to stand up and say he wanted a challenge he shouldn't be president. Obama made the right decision, even if Bush is a TERRIBLE leader, at least he wants to LEAD. Kerry is a spineless follower with a big bank account.
Reply:I suppose you can get all hungup on details about anyone. I'm voting for Obama because in general he has respect for wage-earning americans. He 'gets it' that everything in this country depends on a working class that has honest work at good wages. He understands that no country can continue to borrow money to invest in a conventional war in the muslim east that has no natural stopping place. He's aware that to wage a war against this kind of enemy requires concentrated, international covert action abroad and real security measures at home. He knows, as do most Americans that reducing taxes for the corporations to the degree that the Republicans have insisted robs the treasury and results in the need for more and more borrowed money....money that the American wage-earner will have to repay. Sen. Clinton is on the same page with Obama on these things as well....none of the Republicans are. My advice is to vote in your own self interest if you're a wage-earner and don't be taken in by the people who wave flags and shake the cross in your face. They represent the trans-national corporations and the Jesus freak right...not you! At this point the Republicans consider you a sheep to be sheared. Someday, when the 'Eisenhower' republicans retake their party it may be different, but at this point the GOP is no more than neo-fascisti organization with zero regard for reality. Don't vote for these guys until they learn to behave.
Reply:They ALL "flip-flop." It's hard to remember what they said from one day to another, from one stop to another.
