What is Obama's new politics since he insists McCain belongs to the "old politics"?

Is part of this his (BHO) audacity to tell lies like claiming the Senate banking committee as his own when he isn't even a member?

Or to tour Europe to campaign when he didn't even lift a finger on his Senate Subcommitteee on European Affairs when he was its chairman?

Or his flip-flopping on different issues like the NO PRECONDITION talk with despots and on FARC, Iraq and other more?

Why are the honorable media giving him a free pass on these?

    Nothing new about Obama's politics. Richard Daly would be proud Chicago style politics went national.

    Because, unlike McCain, Obama doesn't plan on doing the same thing our past presidents have done...nothing. McCain is just like Bush. Obama wants to change things for the better (i.e. universal health care, better education, a far better economic plan McCain's, and not to mention, Obama isn't sexist).

    My major problem with McCain is his disrespect of women. When asked whether insurance companies should be required to pay for birth control for women if they are required to pay for Viagra for men, he said he didn't have enough information to answer that. What kind of information do you need?! It should be common sense to answer "YES!" Obviously, McCain has no respect for women, which makes me have no respect for him.

    I think his record breaking campaing funds.

    250 millions for the primary

    targetted 450 millions for the general election.

    On top of that:

    $200 millions from AFL-CIO

    $40 millions from moveon.org

    I am sure I missed a lot, but so far, we are looking at 940Millions campaign, almost $1Billions if not more.

    The question is, can money buy the president of United States role?

    His basic politics are the same as robin hoods. Steal from the rich, give to the poor.

    THe problem is, the people he wants to steal from are the people who employ all of the middle class.

    If they move their money away from the USA- guess who sufffers the most?

    THe middle class and poor.

    Economics 101.

    Obama has policies? How do you know for sure? Obama hasn't got anything. His whole campaign is based on empty promises of hope and change.

    McCain IS our new president.

  • NEW POLITICS: Tell the American people how you are going to help them solve the problems they face (as Obama does) instead of attacking your opponent (as mcshame does)
