Do you think Barack Obama is a sellout for switching stances on the offshore drilling issue?

Question

Why or why not?

Personally, I thought it was a bit quick how he switched positions when he used to advocate the opposition of offshore drilling. There's been a lot of criticism being fired back at one another. Perhaps they're being persuaded. However, I'm not an avid politics reader, so I wouldn't know.

Answer 1

No . he's showing America that he's not a rigid politician who is afraid to change his mind .

Answer 2

not even

Answer 3

It's called flip flopping if McCain does it. If Obama does it it's called "adjusting his position" He will do whatever he thinks the people want to hear.  

Answer 4

Yes he is.  He has changed his mind again.  This man bounces around more than anything.  He has taken money from big oil but now he is against them.  I guess he turning on them like he did his preacher.  

Answer 5

This is just more political game playing.  This is what McCain has been pushing from the beginning.  Obama knows , once again, he is wrong, showing poor judgement.  He is losing ground to McCain, so he is switching his stance , for now.  If elected, he will switch back to the old democratic line of saving the environment and no new drilling.  You better believe it.  He can not be trusted.

Answer 6

I've never actually heard him take a stance on anything. He is a slick talking Chicago lawyer who will say anything to get elected.
