And today, the NYT & Huffington Post are piling on Obama for the sea change on his stand on issues he has been running on since January 2007 to May 2008.

So Obama said one thing to get nominated, and will say another different thing entirely to get elected.

Welcome to US presidential sleeze politics! Nothing new under the sun here.

We all knew we would have a novelty candidate from Democrats after Super Tuesday. Obama is a novelty candidate because of his race, Clinton was a novelty candidate because of her gender.

Scratch the surface of either of (or McCain) and all are cut throat, ego maniacal politicians who will do or say anything to win. In that sense, there is virtually no difference between them. Which is why the idealism virgins will be the next election cycle's cynics.
