He Said What ??? ...

Barack Obama, at a campaign stop in Flint, Michigan on Sept. 8th objected to the McCain campaign's assertion that John McCain, was the real candidate for change by virtue of McCain's actual record of accomplishment as opposed to Obama's rhetoric.

Obama, complaining about McCain told the audience, “You can’t just recreate yourself,” said the Democratic nominee. “You can’t just reinvent yourself. The American people aren’t stupid.”

OK, doesn't he actually hear any of what he says ? ... afterall, this coming from a man, who, on both superficial and policy levels has diligently re-worked his own image, attempting to distance himself from his own voting record, memoirs, and earlier speeches on his more extreme liberal positions - all, in advance of the Democratic Convention in order to become palatable to the moderate left, press and public.

As such, and after widespread public criticism he now wears an American flag on his lapel, claims he never had Muslim training and as a Christian denounced his extremist, hate spewing preacher of the past 20 plus years, is the product of corrupt Chicago machine politics, yet assumes the mantle of reformer and agent of change, panders for the Jewish vote while downplaying his poor voting record in support of Israel, claims to favor 2nd amendment rights while voting for gun control, wants to pursue appeasement to resolve international disputes while dismantling defense programs, voted against support for soldiers in the field and pronounces he's tough on terrorism, and on and on.

The other notable thing about glass houses is the amount of light they let in.
