Now that Harold Ford of Tenn. is tainted; ie lost election for Senator, and another uncle indicted for fraud, Obama is the only one they have to hang their hat on. (this from a libber rag) Meet Barack Obama The Democrats' New Liberal Star By ERIC RUDER counterpunch.org this from Frontpage: Obama is very liberal. Among his campaign contributors are George Soros, People for the American Way, pro-abortion groups and teacher’s unions. Soros got his money's worth from Obama, who turned out redmeat antiwar quotations during the run-up to Operation Iraqi Freedom. At an October 2002 antiwar rally, he repeated the false "economy and war" canard of fanatical antiwar liberals. Obama said: "I don't oppose all wars…What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks like Karl Roves to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in the poverty rate, a drop in the median income...to distract us from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression." When confronted with this quotation by Tim Russert on "Meet the Press," Obama shrugged it off, not choosing to repeat its conspiracy theories. Russert uncharacteristically did not press the issue. But the quotation would seem to indicate Obama's inclination to parrot the Michael Moore Left. frontpagemag.com this from Worldnet: Yes, he's for the flag (but not against burning it – he voted against the flag-protection amendment), motherhood (as long as taxpayers foot the bill for day care and abortion on demand remains legal) and apple pie (he has not had to vote on apple pie). But where does he stand? Obama is a liberal, and a rather radical liberal at that. According to Obama's new best seller, "The Audacity of Hope," Obama hates Ronald Reagan: He was "disturbed … by Ronald Reagan's election in 1980 … unconvinced … by his John Wayne, 'Father Knows Best' pose, his policy by anecdote and his gratuitous assaults on the poor."
