Keeping Your Word is So Passe

Let me state right off that in November I will vote for the Democratic Nominee, because I have no choice; my Country simply cannot have two or three more Scalias or Alitos on the Supreme Court.

I have stated probably 50 times in the past that I "didn't like Hillary and didn't trust Obama". The Hillary supporters never understood why I just didn't like her. I guess the Obama supporters are catching on, for their part.

To be clear: Barack will support a filibuster of any bill that includes retroactive immunity for telecommunications companies.

That statement was made, unambiguously, last October 24 by Obama Campaign spokesman Bill Burton.

I'm reminded of when Obama appeared on Meet the Press on January 22, 2006 and told Tim Russert, unambiguously, of his immediate political future:

MR. RUSSERT: There’s been enormous speculation about your political future, Senator. The man you succeeded in the Senate, Peter Fitzgerald, a Republican, said this recently. "I think there’s a very good chance that Senator Obama is on the Democratic ticket in 2008 as the vice presidential nominee." Do you agree?

SEN. OBAMA: No.  You know, I can’t speculate on those kinds of things. What I have said is that, you know, I’m not focused on running for higher office, I’m focused on doing the job that the people of Illinois just sent me to do.

MR. RUSSERT: But there seems to be an evolution in your thinking. This is what you told the Chicago Tribune last month: "Have you ruled out running for another office before your term is up?" Obama answer: "It’s not something I anticipate doing." But when we talked back in November of ‘04 after your election I said, "There’s been enormous speculation about your political future. Will you serve your six-year term as United States senator from Illinois?" Obama: "Absolutely."

SEN. OBAMA: I will serve out my full six-year term. You know, Tim, if you get asked enough, sooner or later you get weary and you start looking for new ways of saying things. But my thinking has not changed.

MR. RUSSERT: So you will not run for president or vice president in 2008?

SEN. OBAMA: I will not.

Vote for him?? Yes, because I have no actual choice.

Ever trust him?? Not in this lifetime, he's a politician.
