Change That’s Unbelievable
David Freddoso’s book on Barack Obama may be the one we’ve been waiting for.
(Page 3 of 3)
TAS: So should McCain attack him as a flip-flopper or a liberal?
DF: The more important theme is that there’s nothing wrong with being a liberal — lots of people are, and run for office all the time. Maybe Obama’s too liberal to win this election, but there are a lot of liberals out there….The real thing Senator Obama is doing is that he’s trying to make people think: A) he’s not the liberal that he really is, and B) that he’s this good government liberal that even conservatives can trust. Both of those are false.
In fact, when liberals and conservatives come together around issues of good government and reform… generally they can count on Obama to be on the opposite side, working against them.
