But he's not. He is, as his own willful assocaitions of long standing and his own positions in the IL and the US Senate attest, a militant anti-American and abjetc marxist.

The famous quote goes, “If you’re not a liberal when you’re 20, you have no heart. If you’re not a conservative by the time you’re 30, you have no brain.”
If you embrace gun rights, proactive military policy, and stricter abortion requirements while pushing for crippling taxes and universal healthcare at 46, you’re Barack Obama–and the question of your deficiencies remains an open one.
Obama’s move to the right is not a tactical ploy designed to siphon off McCain voters or undecided independents. Opening up the general election with a 12-point lead over John McCain (including an 8-point lead among registered independents), the safe advice would have Obama in a holding pattern in hopes that McCain starts making bad moves. And even if some tacking to the center was in order, it would not have required the across-the-board conversion we’ve witnessed these past few weeks. A mere acknowledgment of success in Iraq would have gone a long way.
Nor is Obama’s move to the right an attempt to draw fire as a flip-flopper instead of as a far-left liberal. Obama stumbles and falls in the realm of specific data. He does better defending a liberal stance on broad ideological grounds than in detailing the reasons for this or that policy change. His worst moments of the primary came when Hillary, armed with an encyclopedic grasp of figures, went to-to-toe with him on policy disputes.
Obama’s tack to the center is simply what happens when the Senate’s most liberal member ventures off Capitol Hill and faces intractable reality. It’s what happens when a community organizer with radical friends becomes a global player with deadly enemies.

BS, Abe. And if (God forbid) B-HO wins the Presidency you'll quickly see the extent of your BS.
I see. He is maturing in the job.
