Right On The Right

Barack Obama has been changing refining his positions on a number of issues, from Iraq to public financed campaigns, quite often lately. On the right, we just watch and commentate on his various flips and flops, but on the left, the desperation for a true socialist is growing. They're tired of the leftist populist they put up already. The Alligator, which is the University of Florida's Independent Newspaper, ran a leftist article attacking Barack:

Since clinching his party’s nomination for president, however, Obama has started to clarify, qualify and triangulate to such a degree that we can hardly recognize him from the inspirational “change” candidate he represented a few short months ago.

...Perhaps Obama isn’t the great change agent we thought he was. Perhaps no one can change the system. Or maybe we expected too much from someone who is, after all, just another politician. Instead of riding a wave of change to the ballot box, we are faced with the age-old “lesser of two evils” paradigm: Perpetual war and inequitable economic policies on the one hand, and spineless triangulation on the other.

Now, I completely disagree with the mouth-breathing leftist rhetoric that our byline-less friends at The Alligator have attached themselves to, but I think it's revealing that even they see the real "change" in Barack Obama. As they said, he's just another politician. Don't be fooled.
