New Hampshire Union Leader: “Get A Grip, Obama’s Coming”
By Un coup de des on June 27, 2008 at 9:59 AM in Barack Obama
Secure your seat belts, No Quarter readers, for this editorial by Jospeh McQuaid of the New Hampshire Union Leader is guaranteed to jolt you from your chairs.
NEW HAMPSHIRE RESIDENTS, grab something sturdy today. Barack Obama is coming and his ability to switch positions on major issues is dizzying. It wouldn’t matter, except Obama wants to become President. If that happens, hold on for dear life.
This is the man who eloquently declined to disassociate himself from his hate-filled friend and pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. His “incendiary” remarks were taken out of context, Obama said. He was like family, like a grandma.
But Obama cooly threw “grandma” under the bus when it became politically advantageous.
This is the man who stoutly defended public financing of the presidential race, until he knew he could raise and spend millions of dollars more by refusing it. And he has the chutzpah to blame John McCain for his own hypocrisy.
Obama professes to believe in a religiously-diverse nation. But he has declined to speak at a single mosque. His staff keeps Muslim women out of camera range and yelps bloody murder if his own middle name, Hussein, or his father and stepfather’s Muslim religion are discussed.
Obama said he would meet personally with the President of Iran, without pre-conditions. But speaking to a pro-Israeli group a few weeks ago, he had changed his tune entirely. Iran, by the way, may now be as little as six months from building a nuclear bomb.
And McQuaid only offers a partial list of Obama’s recent vacillations. If John Kerry was the Republicans flip-flopper, Barack Obama will be their Tilt-a-Whirl.
