1. "Say anything"

Just win and do what you want after that.

[Donnachaidh]

2. what's really galling is how BLATANT he is about this

Arrogance is showing it's ugly head more and more with this *leader*.

[DJ13]

3. I agree, and it saddens me

[FLAprogressive]

4. It's the Shameless Arrogance we've witnessed over a variety of issues....specifically "pony" issues

like choice, gay rights, etc.

5. I support Senator Obama.

Maybe we can build a time machine and he can travel to the present to talk some sense into President Obama.

;)

6. "Will the real Barack Obama please stand up?"

17. That Is the Real Obama

Obama has always been a politican who said what he needed to say to win. When I was looking for information on Obama during the primaries I found an article that claimed that was Obama's MO. He would campaign to whatever side of his opponent that he needed to campaign in order to win and then once elected he would do what he wanted to do. So, you are not seeing the real Obama.

7. I expected the outrage...

...to be based on his stealing mandates from Sen. Clinton's campaign, not in supporting mandates in the first place.

[FLAprogressive]

8. The reason many voted for him in the primary is because he was against Sen. Clinton's mandates.

9. Oops. Sorry Confused..

..my NOKIA's (No! Only Kucinich Is Acceptable) with my PUMA's.

[liberation]

15. Is it safe to assume that you don't have any reasonable justification for Mr. Obama's actions?

Thus you being so quick to the ad hominems?

[davidwparker]

10. I always associated mandates with Hillary. It confused me when it turned

up in Obama's bill since mandates were such a bad thing.

Thanks for the clarification. Now, I can see that this is another change on the Chameleon's part.

[liberation]

16. Maybe Obama is trying to out-Clinton Clinton?

That is just about the only reason I have left to explain this dude...

[Divine Discontent]

11. The Say Anything Kid! (as opposed to the say hey kid) - he'll do anything to get your vote!

[FLAprogressive]

20. he tries to be all things to all people

A progressive to progressives
A centrist to centrists
A neocon to neocons

I think it's clear he's a combination of the latter two.

[change_notfinetuning]

12. Maybe he was against mandates in the campaign ONLY because Hillary, his

opponent was for them. Wow, that sounds Republican. "If you're for it, I'm against it." Seems to be their approach.

[erpowers]

18. People Were Against Mandates

I think Obama was against mandates during the primaries because people were against mandates. I think Obama took up the issue of mandates shortly after he won the Democratic nomination.

[rateyes]

13. He was against mandates before he was for them. nt

[saracat]

14. Well he can't be expected to actually do anything he promised. That was before he found out

he was supposed to cave. They were just "words" after all.LOL!

[rollingrock]

19. Pathological liar, just lke Bush

for this one, honesty is NOT the best policy.
