Strange bedfellows: Obama Dems and Conservative GOP
Advertisements [?]
The oddest part of this primary race is the alignment of Obama supporters with the group they have maligned for the last 8 years - conservative Republicans.

Both groups support Obama and want to see him elected instead of Hillary Clinton. Both groups support his policies, one calling him a conservative, business friendly Democrat who is no danger to the status quo, the other calling him a champion of liberal issues who will bring change and reform our country.

Its a prime example of Obama's legendary Shape shifting skills - telling people what they want to hear yet standing for nothing. Its a disturbing trait for someone who seeks to be the leader of the US during a time of crisis. In the final analysis, no one really knows what he stands for.

My question: how do Obama's Dem supporters reconcile the fact that they are now in complete agreement with people like Rush Limbaugh, Robert Novak, Tim Russert and others? How do you rationalize supporting someone who is less than forthcoming with the public? Its an honest question and deserves an honest answer.
