When I replied to the people calling me names

for daring to note some of the Obamessiah's connection, I told one of them that I hold him to be dangerous to this country based on his views. I should have noted that's his views when you actually find what they are.
During his first run for elected office, Barack Obama played a greater role than his aides now acknowledge in crafting liberal stands on gun control, the death penalty and abortion– positions that appear at odds with the more moderate image he’s projected during his presidential campaign.

The evidence comes from an amended version of an Illinois voter group’s detailed questionnaire, filed under his name during his 1996 bid for a state Senate seat.

Late last year, in response to a Politico story about Obama’s answers to the original questionnaire, his aides said he “never saw or approved” the questionnaire.

They asserted the responses were filled out by a campaign aide who “unintentionally mischaracterize(d) his position.”

But a Politico examination determined that Obama was actually interviewed about the issues on the questionnaire by the liberal Chicago non-profit group that issued it. And it found that Obama – the day after sitting for the interview – filed an amended version of the questionnaire, which appears to contain Obama’s own handwritten notes adding to one answer.


I dislike politicians in general, but some very much more than others. The ones I dislike the most are those who
Plan to make a lifetime career out of sitting in an elected position and
Lie to you about what they actually believe in order to get there.*
And Obama fits both these points. Very well. Just like Hillary Clinton. And- never mind, the list is too long. I'll also note this further along in the article:
“I always believed those to be his views,” she said, adding some members of the board argued Obama’s 1996 answers were “what he really believes in and he’s tailoring it now to make himself more palatable as a nationwide candidate.”
Translation: he's either lying about or denying some of what he actually believes so as to get into office, after which he'll go back to the positions he actually holds.
