What has Obama ever "Changed".?

Question

Has he changed anything since becoming a Senator?

Did he change anything in the Illinois government?

Did he change anything in the dirty Chicago politics? Or did he just go along with it?

Did he change anything in his Church? Or did he agree with Black Liberation Theology?

Answer 1

He has changed is policy on so many things in this campaign so many times I have no idea what is for.

I guess that why he says he is for change

Answer 2

he has CHANGED his position on just about every issue in the election.

Answer 3

Hmmm... an interesting question. He changed the misguided belief that Americans were too racist to vote for the best man for the job.

He used his example to indpire Republicans and Democrats to work together on essential legislation.

As for dirty politics -- those are your folks in Alaska, and Ted's legacy lives in Palin. At least he didn't change a little town with a balance budget into one knee deep in debt and litigation.

Answer 4

His association with that crazy preacher hoagie who said "God blank America!."  At least in PUBLIC.

Answer 5

Do you really want to know or did you just make this question to ask biased questions?

He was a community organizer. He changed more than McCain did.

If you're interested in his history, why don't you read about it and become informed?

Answer 10

I'm tired of answering this question. I've listed at least 30 bills (with their corresponding number, date and year)the man has sponsored, and many more of the ones he's co-sponsored, why don't you go find out.

Better yet, why don't you list what McCain's done in his 26 year occupancy as a senator.

You all love to question Obama, but ya don't bring up sh*it about what McCain has done.

Answer 11

Well I um.... well... hmmm.... My position on FISA.  I'm a cop-out.

Answer 12

his position, many, many, many times....

Answer 13

His mind,  his church, his.....

Answer 14

His socks

Answer 15

I think you got you real answer above.  So...

What has McCain ever "changed?"  Other than his mind and his wives

He used to be the 42nd most conservative senator.  In the last year he's became the 2nd most conservative senator.  What a huge CHANGE.  :)

He married his first wife who was a swimsuit model, and after she was mangled in a car accident, he cheated on her with mulitple women including his current wife.  Oh and Palin's claim to fame is that she was 2nd runner up "Miss Alaska."  Hmm, like beauty queens much?

He Co-wrote a bill which he now says that he wouldn't vote for... wtf?  He WROTE it and doesn't agree with it...

He attacks Obama because he hasn't spent 20 years in Washington, and then goes and picks someone with less than 2 years experience as the governor of the smallest populated state.  Oh and a twice a month job as the mayor of a small town.

He doesn't support veterans issues.  'Nuff said.

He says that a child must have a mother and a father to succeed, but he's for sending hundreds of thousands of mothers and fathers to a senseless war over and over again.

He's doesn't believe that insurance companies who pay for viagra should pay for birth control.

He doesn't believe in s*x education.  Or, rather, he is for abstinence ONLY education.  Yeah, that worked for Palin's daughter, didn't it?

Oh, and he openly admits to voting with President Bush over 90% of the time.

Answer 16

He better change something if he wants to be president in this country.
