I haven’t trusted Obama since he first went to the Senate and hooked up with Joe Lieberman as his mentor. It’s not surprise that Obama is using classic right wing talking points to refute his fellow Democrats on the stump. You think he’s more of a liberal because he’s black? Like Lieberman is a liberal because he’s Jewish? One thing you can say about those two is that they’re both anxious to defy the stereotypes.

Obama is a stirring public speaker, but probe beneath the platitudes and you find a half-empty suit.
