Change And Experience

Posted by RightTeacher on Sunday, August 24, 2008 6:31:08 PM
In This Week, they reported an ABC News/Washington Post Poll (8/24/2008) that said that 57% of the people think McCain will continue Bush's policies and 47% think Obama is too inexperienced.  They portrayed this as saying that McCain has 57% negative vs. Obama's 47% negative.  Really?  How many of the people that said that McCain will continue Bush policies ( tax cuts?  victory in Iraq? ) think the Bush policies are bad?  How many of the people that said Obama was too inexperienced thought inexperience was a good thing?

Obama: Fake right

Posted by RightTeacher on Thursday, July 03, 2008 7:51:21 PM
I've already commented on Obama's shift to the middle.

Donald Lambro documented his shift and includes this comment from a Democratic leader:

All of these and other changes in his campaign positions were "signs of increasing maturity and growth" in the young senator, former Democratic National Committee chairman Steve Grossman told me.

For my money, we need to leave Obama on the tree to finish ripening.  We should harvest no fruit before its time.  The presidency is no place for people to mature and grow.  It is certainly NOT another line on your resume.

I am reminded of A Man for All Seasons where Thomas More tells his future son-in-law that, "A year ago you were a passionate Churchman.  Now, you're a passionate Lutheran.  We can only hope that when your head stops spinning that your face is to the front again."
