Isn't it amazing to see the overnight pseudo-transformation of Obama? I mean about his recent announcements regarding cutting taxes, freezing spending and providing retirement savings options. What?!!! Sounds very Reagan-esque doesn't it?
His "finding religion" at this point just exposes a couple of truths about the man. First, that he is feeling genuine fear right now from the growing disdain of Americans for the lib agenda. Here are just a few of the events that have rocked his boat the last couple of weeks:
-"Teddy's Seat" in the senate...gone.
- The Supreme Court's decision on corporate campaign finance.
- Air America crashing with no survivors.
- Biden's kid too scared to attempt a campaign...even with daddy's help.
- Chris Dodd heading for the hills rather than face a voter firing squad in November.
- Pelosi failure to deliver "her house" on health care.
Second, that his convictions are paper-thin. Oh, make no mistake, the guy is a genuine socialist, but he apparently loves his situation much more and surely doesn't want to go crawling back to Chicago, unemployed, in 2012. So he becomes the chameleon extraordinaire.
It is definitely possible to dislike someone's politics and policies and still respect the person, but it's very difficult to have respect for the person who has no core convictions, no matter what they are, that he'll stand proudly behind when they come under serious fire. The "left" should be as disgusted with him as anyone.
Tonight is his State of the Union address and I guarantee you that he'll be playing to the everyday man as represented by the Tea Party groups appearing around the country. But it's all a show, and a desperate one at that.
