He not only flip-flops, he lies

Not only is Obama flip-flopping all over the place, but apparently he can't (or doesn't want) to remember what bills he voted on.

In his "Country I Love" television ad, Obama says that he "extended healthcare for wounded troops that had been neglected" and cited Public Law 110-181 as proof of this.

The problem? Obama didn't bother to show up and vote for Public Law 110-181.

How is Obama like a fish out of water

He's flip flopping all over the place.

In a Washington Post Op-Ed piece, Charles Krauthhammer points out the follow changes Obama has made since "winning" the democratic nomination.

1. The Flag Pin. Obama had said he didn't wear a flag pin because after September 11th it had become "became a substitute for, I think, true patriotism." Obama is now wearing a flag pin. I gues he needs to substitute something for his lack of true patriotism now.
2. Guns. When the Supreme Court came down in favor of Heller, and declared that the Second Admendment is an individual right, Obama declared that he agreed with the Supreme Court decision. However, he is previously on record as having stated that the D.C. gun ban is constitutional. Additionally, Obama is probably the most anti-gun politician out there next to Carolyn McCarthy and Mike Bloomberg.
3. NAFTA. Told the Canadians, his anti-trade rhetoric was just populist posturing.
4. Warrentless Wiretaps. Obama now will vote in favor of the new FISA bill.
5. Campaign Finance Reform. Changed opinion on public financing when he released that he needed to abandon public financing to maximize how much money he could take in.
6. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Talks would no longer be unconditional. How long until there will be no talks?
7. Iraq. No longer unconditional fixed 16-month timetable. He now states "we've got to make sure that our troops are safe and that Iraq is stable." and that "when I go to Iraq . . . I'll have more information and will continue to refine my policies." How long until reality meets Mr. Obama and he realizes that you can't have a fixed timetable.

Obama is a slick orator. Obama is charismatic. Unfortunately these thing don't help you be a good leader.

The Roberts Court seems to get it

I have to applaud the Roberts Court, they really seem to be beginning to undo some of the damage done by previous courts and the Bush administration.

First of all we have the D.C. v. Heller decision.

The right of habeas corpus was restored in Boumediene v. Bush

In Quanta Computer v. LG Electronics the court also is beginning to reign in patent abuse.

Hopefully the court will continue to promote liberty and reign in the executive branch.
