How enthusiastically is the media in the Obama tank? Just watch how BO responded to the 2nd amendment decision. Just watch how the media has covered BO's responses. BO agrees with the majority and the minority!
BO is good with words. The media is horrible with follow up questions:
"Name your issue -- on trade, taxes, guns, the death penalty, campaign finance reform, FISA -- Obama may well be taking the politically smart position for a Democrat in these early days of the general election.
But the point is that he's taking positions that are at least shaded differently than those he's taken in the past, if not outright flip-flops.
These are political calculations that make a dangerous assumption for Obama: that he's willing to risk being called a "politician" at all." (ABC)
To be fair, politicians will change their minds. No one is expecting a person to be inflexible.
However, we do expect politicians to hold a position for 90 days.
We've gone from "Obama is different" to "Obama will say whatever it takes to avoid the liberal label".
P.S. Speaking of the media, let me paraphrase Rick Moran. McCain faces the most biased and one sided news media in memory. The media will carry BO's water no matter what.
