"Shift to the center" is Right-Wing Smear

Tue Jul 08, 2008 at 06:04:21 AM PDT

This "shifting to the center" meme is a right-wing smear to define BO as a flip-flopper.  Barack Obama has always held these positions.  Check the records; Read Audacity of Hope; Please check your issues.  BO did not shift to the center as many right-wing pundits are claiming.

And the Press "MSM" bought into the right-wing smear wholesale; Even Arianna Huffungiton was repeating it on the networks.

Obama and the Elian Gonzalez saga

Tue Jun 24, 2008 at 09:25:45 AM PDT

The Politico had this story on how Obama was on the wrong side of the Elian Gonzalez saga.  They detailed how this singular issue could impact the outcome of Florida in November. Here is the link to the story:  http://www.politico.com/...

Why BO’s opting out was the best decision

Sun Jun 22, 2008 at 11:11:04 AM PDT

Everyone seems to forget that John McCain opted into the Federal financing for the primary, and opted out once he won the nomination without the consent of the FEC.

If Barack Obama has accepted Federal funding with John McCain in June and McCain decided late in September to opt out, would we expect BO to opt out too?

John McCain has shown a tendency ignore rules and opt in and out of Federal funding without regard to the law.  We do not expect McCain to abide by any FEC rule since he is currently in default of one and nothing has been done about it.

Opting out was best for Barack Obama and the Democratic Party in this case.

Once Again Hillary Copied From Someone

Thu Mar 20, 2008 at 04:35:48 PM PDT

I've posted this diary on MyDD for the Clintons' supporters to tear apart.

I just read this news that said "Clinton calls for $30 billion housing fund"

Level the playing ground: Obama/Clinton

Tue Mar 11, 2008 at 10:38:15 AM PDT

Ben Smith at the Politico had this "Obama backer revives Clinton sex scandals" article that I found interesting.  On update, it said that the Obama backer has agreed to resign from his leadership post.

http://www.politico.com/...

The question that crossed my mind is why Obama is firing his surrogates who are just making statements that were backed by historical references?
Obama should stop firing his supporters that felt that the Clintons are not playing fair and publicly expressed their frustration.  Thus the playing ground is level and the Clinton's Whitehouse record is a fairplay because that was the basis for Hillary's claim of experience.

Poll

Should Barack stop firing his more aggressive Surrogates?
