Obama Says Critics Haven't Been Listening ~ Waaaaa
Obama Says His Critics Haven’t Been Listening
Senator Barack Obama on Tuesday forcefully addressed concerns that he had moved too quickly to the political center, acknowledging complaints from “my friends on the left” about his statements on Iraq, his approaches to evangelicals and his remarks on other issues that have alarmed some of his supporters.
“Look, let me talk about the broader issue, this whole notion that I am shifting to the center,” he told a crowd gathered at a town hall-style meeting in this Atlanta suburb. “The people who say this apparently haven’t been listening to me.”
“I am someone who is no doubt progressive,” he said, adding that he believed in universal health care and that government had a strong role to play in overseeing financial institutions and cracking down on abuses in bankruptcies and the like.
Mr. Obama has faced a wave of complaints from his followers in recent weeks that he is tacking hard toward the political center and moving away from his liberal base now that he is in a general election campaign.
“I believe in personal responsibility; I also believe in faith,” he said. “That’s not something new; I’ve been talking about that for years. So the notion that this is me trying to look” — he waved his hands around his head — “centrist is not true.”
Regarding his position on Iraq, he said, “Don’t be confused: I will bring the Iraq war to a close when I am president of the United States of America.”

Obama we aren't stupid !
Progressive = communist
One of the reasons Obama survives is because the MSM keeps giving him a free pass.

The problem isn't that people haven't been listening to Barack Obama. They have listened and from all sides of the political spectrum recognize his politicly motivated shift to the center/right.
Barack Obama likes to hear himself talk and will say or do anything to be elected President. The problem is that he believes his own rhetoric and the messiah status bestowed on him by his cult of followers. Barack Obama's nose grows longer every day with all of his lies while his head gets bigger and bigger with an inflated ego and belief that he is, in fact, the Messiah who will save the country.
Don't be surprised if Obama demands a body of water in Invesco Field stadium so that he can walk across it before giving his acceptance speech at the Democrat's convention late August.

I heard Obama today, he said, All of our children should learn Spanish, so as not to tax the already overburden Illegals here.
Well now we are to learn Spanish, so HOOlio doesn't have to assimilate into the culture. This makes as much sense as anything else he has said.
The kicker tho is Hillary expecting Obama to pay her bill for her campaign. The clintons are already saying that the Obama's have only given a " Paltry" sum. What a bunch of ingrates.

Well another day has gone by and no reports that Barry's plane has crashed into a mountain. Hell, I might as well go home and get drunk. Maybe tomorrow we'll have some luck.
