Entry Filed under: patriotism, Barack Obama
Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.” |

Knowing what Obama thinks at any given time is becoming problematic. Earlier he changed positions on the DC gun ban, the death penalty, his church, campaign finance, Iraq, Cuban embargo, school vouchers, wearing the flag pin, Israeli control of Jeruselem and unconditional talks with rogue nations. Today Obama reversed his previously stated position on gay marriage.

He’s also changed his opinion on NAFTA so that it matches the guy he chastised for stating his current position.
