(Photograph by Jonas Karlsson, appeared in Vanity Fair)Today in the Wall Street Journal, Karl Rove wrote an opinion piece entitled, "It's All About Obama." This article emphasizes Barack's penchant for acting not on principle, or in accordance with his lofty speeches, but in the name of pure, infantile, self-interest. Despite his talent for speech and words, Barack has proved to the American voter that neither are reliable indicators of his character or intentions.
Karl points out a number of things.
1) His insane attempt to re-design the Presidential seal.
"His seal featured an eagle emblazoned with his logo, and included a Latin version of his campaign slogan."
2) His former support for public financing--flip flopping
In the past: he "strongly supported public financing"
This past week: withdrew from the public financing system
3) Townhall meetings with John McCain.
at first: in reply to a challenge of 10 townhall meetings, "anywhere, anytime"
now: only wants two, His campaign spokesman said, "Take it or leave it."
4) Lying about his accomplishments
Barack: wants credit for "extended health care for wounded troops." In doing this, he cited the 2008 defense authorization bill.
In reality: Oops. The bill passed 91-3 but guess who didn't show up???? Barack wasn't there.
