Robert Novak on Obama

[Bullet1987]

He was just on Tucker saying he thinks Obama is very attractive, but thinks he's a lot more to the Left than he's running. Of course if you hadn't noticed, Obama is running as a moderate.

1. the title of your OP has given me an image in my head i don't want! n/t

2. If I were convinced Obama would govern significantly to the left of where he's campaigning

He'd have my support.

But I'm just not convinced, yet.

4. He said he also knows this because of how Obama was in the

Illonios state senate.

[blm]

9. I hope so. I would definitely swing to Obama if I felt he was just moderating his voice

for an election - hell, I expect that from ANY candidate, even Dennis Kucinich who I trusted even when he voted as a moderate for so many years.

3. He has a fine line to walk. Appeal to the indies and swings to bring to the dem party

and please the base. Plus, appeal to whites, hispanics, asians and blacks. This is a higher test for him that anyone else.

5. That troll should be under a bridge scaring children.

6. that is talking point #2 from the playbook

#1 is he isn't experienced. Designed to keep the Repubs in line and not talk positively about an "enemy." It has worked for them in the past let's see if they can succeed again.

7. Well suppose it was inevitable they would start on Obama

they have just about run out of anything to say about Edwards and Hillary for a while. Now they are going to trash Obama. Maybe then get back on the others. AND what is so sickening, with the myraid of crooked and corrupt things about the republicans you are not hearing a word. I think Obama has the guts to take it and throw it back and that will set them down.

8. Does Novak have any credibility left?

I figure the RW has pretty well used up whatever 'love' they had for the old sot, and Lib's/Progressives have never had a reason to listen to him, except when he's making a complete fool out of himself...(hmm...that's all they time anyway).

Novak could tell me the Atlantic Ocean is salty, and I'd call for a chemical workup, he is nothing but a tired old sack of lies and dreams of being someone who can be trusted.

He needs to wear a tux and a cape when he comes out of his coffin...:scared:
