Obama's Straight Talk Express Takes A Detour
At a campaign event yesterday, Barack Obama said:
You won't hear me saying one thing one day to one audience and then saying something else another day to a different audience because I think it's politically convenient.
Um, perhaps Senator Obama can explain why he said one thing in Iowa about independent expenditures and something else in Nevada? How come Obama criticized union expenditures in the Iowa caucus campaign and refuses to do so regarding UNITE HERE's independent expenditures in Nevada? Could it be that there is a new rule for Obama? Is it ok if the expenditure is in support of his candidacy? Is it ok if it is "politically convenient" for Barack Obama?
As I have said, this is politics as usual. The problem is Obama pretends he is going to reinvent politics. He is not. He is just a pol. An extremely talented one. But still just a pol.
