BUTTE, Mont. AP - Is Barack Obama close to being shadowed by giant flip-flops and, worse, having the image stick with people all the way to the voting booth?
Obama said his overall problem is that he was incorrectly tagged to begin with as being a product solely of his party's left wing, so that statements displaying a broad ideological range are portrayed as shifts when they are not. "When I simply describe what has been my position consistently, then suddenly people act surprised," he lamented earlier this week.
Four years ago, Republicans branded as a "flip-flop" even the slightest rhetorical or policy change by John Kerry and sent huge replicas of the casual sandals to bob around the Massachusetts Democrat's events, feeding an image of him as a wishy-washy panderer. End.
It's unbelievable…three Democratic presidential candidates in succession have needless open Pandora's Box. Both Gore and Kerry were never able to get it closed again and lost. Obama is doing all the right things to join them. Obama said his overall problem is that he was incorrectly tagged to begin with. In other words, the tag that made him the overwhelming choice is no longer good enough? Well, you've damn sure lost me. I'll just not vote and except whichever flip-flopper wins. Without a doubt, Karl Rove and crew are going to get out their brushes and paint Obama three shades blacker and wobbly. The tag of being just another Jimmy Carter is starting to ring truer everyday.
