Barack Obama and the New Politics
Having read more than a few threads the past couple of days.. I have noticed a number of threads questioning Baracks direction in his campaign.. Is he leaving his campaign of the new kind of politics???? Will this be the end of the Obama campaign???? He is not the person he said he was!! Where are the politics of change???

Well wake up and smell the coffee:donut:and eat your breakfast folks..Senator Obama IS practicing the new kind of politics..just one some no longer seem comfortable with..He is practicing the politics of winning, and not falling apart if someone takes a low jab.. He just picks them up by their collar and shakes them back..

Democrats SOMETIMES are their own worst enemies.. some would rather lose than win..because winning means you have to stand for something..and guess what ..flak is coming you way when you take a stand.. :kick::kick::kick:

1. There is no "New Politics".
This is the new boss, same as the old boss.

We WILL get fooled again.

5. Of course there is...
just look at the campaign finance.. we are financing Obama.. the little guys..not the pacs or the super wealthy.. just one example..


This looking for him to be the second coming of Christ (Christian here.. no insult to anyone of any other religion.. I work with what i know :)).. is from his detractors.. he never claimed to be perfect.. in fact he makes that point in all most all of his speeches.. but those who do not support him, want him to be that.. I don't get it

2. And you pick your battles
and I'm not sure any battle, this summer, is worth losing in November. He can undo anything that needs undoing then.
