Old leftie Obama:

*No flag pin as ‘not truly patriotic’
*For ban on handguns
*No support for bill giving telecom companies blanket immunity for post-9/11 eavesdropping.
*Rubbished NAFTA
*Against private financing for presidential candidates
*Wants to meet Ahmadinejad without preconditions

New centrist Obama:

*Patriotic flag pin
*Against ban on hand guns
*Support for bill giving telecom companies blanket immunity for post-9/11 eavesdropping.
*Supports NAFTA
*For private financing for presidential candidates
*Wants ‘preparations’ or effective preconditions before meeting Ahmadinejad

Even the New York Times has paused in its swoon to issue a heart-breaking cry of pain:

We are not shocked when a candidate moves to the center for the general election. But Mr. Obama’s shifts are striking because he was the candidate who proposed to change the face of politics, the man of passionate convictions who did not play old political games.

There there, dears.

I think this is called ‘change you can believe in’.

HA!

incidentally, she forgot:

old pacifist obama:

- don’t “make a martyr” out of bin laden if we capture him

new “dead or alive” obama:

- let’s give him the death penalty

AND

old isolationist obama:

- “immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months.”

new nation-builder obama:

- “I’ve always said that the pace of withdrawal would be dictated by the safety and security of our troops and the need to maintain stability.”

AND

old strutting and trash-talking obama:

- “If John McCain wants to meet me anywhere, anytime, to have a debate about our respective policies in Iraq, in Iran, in the Middle East or around the world, that is a conversation I am happy to have.”

newly revealed pussy obama:

- “uh… never mind. i’m busy.”

UPDATE: DAMN! i forgot jerusalem!
