1. Obama: Voted repeatedly to fund Iraq war, despite saying he didn't support
the war. In fact, he voted to continue the war every single time it came up for a vote, except once. And that time, he voted so late his vote made no difference whatsoever. Quite a contradiction.

Takes huge donations from big business, yet promises he's going to bring real change. How? Those same big businesses will want the same special consideration for that money that they've been getting from George Bush. How can you accept huge donations from an entity and then go against them later? Another contradiction.

Barack says he supports gay people, yet he allows a vehemently anti-gay preacher by the name of Donnie McClurkin to speak at an official Obama function. To which McClurkin told the audience he was "cured" of being gay by praying to God. What an insult! Yet another big contradiction.

Is this hope for real change or more of the same?
