Obama has constantly said he is about change. But how much change can he bring about if old Democrats like Ted Kennedy and the establishment of the DNC and DLC are backing him? None, his campaign has tried to distort the picture as Obama being a visionary, which he is not.
Here he is confronted by NBC’s Meredith Viera on his position on single payer universal health care. He was for it in 2003, and then he denied in the debate of ever being for it in 2008. She asks where is the consistency in his stance. He doesn’t answer the question and starts spinning.

In November 8, 2004, he told the press he would not run for president. He has no experience. Obama has a history of saying one thing and doing the opposite.

Here is California Rep. Maxine Waters, member of the Congressional Black Caucus, discussing the themes of Obama’s campaign. She is not convinced by his rhetoric.

Watch closely!
During this Feb 19th debate in Ohio Senator Obama who also serves as Chair of the subcommittee that has oversight over NATO admitted he has not held one single substantive hearing to figure out what the U.S can do to have a stronger presence with Nato in Afghanistan.
Obama admits it's true stating it was because his responsibilities as chair began at the same time he started running for President. So while hundreds of thousand of our young men and women are at great risk and being killed in Afghanistan Obama’s admission that he was too busy running for president clearly proves he is not only NOT ready to be president, but someone should question his position as a senator as well.
The day after Senator Carl Levin (D-MI), Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee noted that Senator Clinton has introduced more legislation to address the problems facing wounded service members than any other Senator, including The Dignified Treatment of Wounded Warriors Act (accomplished while running her presidential race).
