Obama's "principles and will" shift with his anticipated political fortunes, just like his core values do.
Whatever is most politically expedient and rewarding for Barack Obama is what he will do.

yes great guru,and probably bush reccommended it.

What rdgrnr The Dumbed Down one Is saying is that President Obama IS acting like a Republican.

Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this article depicting how Obama "evolved" from liberal Bush critic to über-hawk cowboy is POTUS's apparent self-deception and delusions of grandeur. He is guided by Aquinas and moral philosophers? Give me a break.
But I suppose I too would develop delusions of grandeur and pretentious philosophical musing tics if I were surrounded by sycophants and Yale law-school flunkies like Harold Koh who assure us that presidential assassination lists and new-math counting methods for civilian dead are nothing to worry about because the consiglieri is “a person of genuine moral rectitude."
Can Insider Koh, heretofore a human rights champion and vociferous critic of the despicable (and they WERE despicable) tactics of Bush-Cheney, really say with a straight face, “It’s as though you had a priest with extremely strong moral values who was suddenly charged with leading a war"?

If this hideous expansion of executive force weren't so macabre and so destructive of the rule of law, it would be hilarious.

maddydoggy,are you saying the house in congress cannot control Obama.if i remember,bush went to yale.

That's two posts in a row without you mentioning that Obama's half white, scorpio.
We're making progress.
I'm glad you took your anti-nutjob pills today.

yeah,i did but obviously you didn't!

Yes he did Scorpio, but I didn't say Bush was the flunkie.

maddydog,get a life,stop wasting yours on this blog,no one believes your intimidating ways man.

Who the frig are you Astro, to tell someone what to do. Somebody die and leave you GOD? You stop being a Moronic A$$hole and I'll stop wasting my time to tell you that.

Besides Astro, it would seem as though you're the only one intimidated by my post for telling the truth. If the truth hurts go to the VA and tell them what a bad boy I was.

but it's not the truth,that's where you have blindfolders on like a mule.dog blinders maybe.tell me oh great one,where did god come from,you're such a wizard.

Not a wizard Astro. Who the hell are you to tell me WHAT to do on this blog, JO. ??
Someone must have died and left you God is where it came from, because you're telling me how to conduct my life. If I do have blinders on I still saw how much of a Moronic A$$hole you are. And furthermore, what I stated was the truth.

Ha!ha! really rolling on the floor laughing out loud! Scorpio!Wow!
