Obama The Post-Partisan Candidate?

• September 12, 2008

How can you be the “post partisan” candidate who eschews party lines when you vote with your political party 100% of the time?

[Obama is] for a change of basically everything President Bush stands for. Yet even after 19 months on the campaign trail and hundreds of millions spent, it’s hard to say exactly how his change would manifest itself. To be sure, Obama’s been trying to keep the focus on middle-class tax cuts, expanded health care and an end to the war in Iraq. But it’s also clear that he hasn’t been able to stay on offense. John McCain has been trying to force Obama into a debate not about who’s the “change” candidate, but who’s the “maverick.” For if Obama is voting with his fellow Democrats almost 100 percent of the time in the Senate (oh, and don’t forget he was designated most liberal by National Journal), is he really a guy who’s gonna change anything?

Obama’s not a “change” candidate. Obama’s not a “new politics” candidate. He’s a far-left liberal who has had to quit the church he attended for 20 years and pretend to be someone he’s not in order to get elected.

Here’s a little insight as to obama’s current partisan ways:
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/toby_harnden/blog/2008/09/12/john_mccain_offers_barack_obama_a_cabinet_post
“…When asked by Time’s Rick Stengel, moderating the 9/11 anniversary forum on national service here at Columbia University in uptown New York city, whether he would give Barack Obama a cabinet job, he responded that he would.

“Governor Schwarzenegger has made the service czar a cabinet-level appointment,” Stengel said. “Would you, as president, do the same and would you name Senator Obama to your cabinet for National Service?” McCain paused for a beat before replying with a smile: “Yes!” Cue laughter and applause.

He also praised Senator Obama for his “outstanding” work as a community organiser – a profession derided by Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin at the Republican convention in St Paul last week. “Of course I respect community organisers,” he said. “Of course I respect people who serve their communities. Sentaor Obama’s service in that area is outstanding,”

Don’t hold your breath about Obama being in a McCain cabinet as Secretary for National Service, Secretary for Community Organising or anything else. McCain went on to criticise the size of George W. Bush’s cabinet (a prize if you can name all 16 without resorting to Google or Wikipedia), talking about it being so big that it never meets, and said he would reduce rather than expand government.

UPDATE: Asked to respond to McCain’s offer and whether he would reciprocate, Obama laughed and said: “If that’s the deal he wants to make right now…” There was a bit of crosstalk and he added: “We’ve got a little work to do before we get to that point…”
