Wall Street Journal went and drew the right conclusion from the many flip-flops:
We’re beginning to understand why Barack Obama keeps protesting so vigorously against the prospect of “George Bush’s third term.” Maybe he’s worried that someone will notice that he’s the candidate who’s running for it.
Most Presidential candidates adapt their message after they win their party nomination, but Mr. Obama isn’t merely “running to the center.” He’s fleeing from many of his primary positions so markedly and so rapidly that he’s embracing a sizable chunk of President Bush’s policy. Who would have thought that a Democrat would rehabilitate the much-maligned Bush agenda?
Of course, WSJ seems also ignorant that B0 already reversed himself on ending the war
and is anticipating it:
Mr. Obama went out of his way to defend General Petraeus against MoveOn.org’s attacks in 2007 that he was “General Betray Us.” Perhaps he had a late epiphany. Look for Mr. Obama to use his forthcoming visit to Iraq as an excuse to drop those withdrawal plans faster than he can say Jeremiah Wright “was not the person that I met 20 years ago.”
The tone of the article is snarky and Murdoch who owns WSJ had been very helpful to B0 so far.
Is this reverse psychology to reassure the many Wall street investors who funded Bo more than McCain? or is it the definite sign the worm is turning and the media returns to their rightful owner?
Whatever the intent, the title and a lot of the content are solid facts.

Where’s your “progressive” candidate now ,

But it looks like McCain now has some big hitters from the formerly disgruntled Christian leaders on board…another thing now going for McCain…
