A while back, I stated that if Obama won the nomination and then the election, but failed to deliver in lockstep manner to the Ultimate DNC Platform, he would be crucified in the press. Well, the liberals jumped the gun (assuming that they have a gun since they don't like guns....) they have started to smear and complain about their own candidate based on his current attempt to do the predictable thing and move to the center. First it was Faith Based Initiatives-which by the way only insures that the religious favoritism will be in play for only those churches that follow all the national hiring, firing and other guidelines. (That means that all those fundamentalist churches that don't hire people they view as sinful will be out of the running.) Now it seems that tapping into the angst over child rape, Obama has, rightfully, sided with the state of Louisiana that child rape is cause for capital punishment. It seems that blogs such as The Daily Kos are much alarmed that they aren't controlling the candidate's message. And in fact, it seems like they think he should be a virtual puppet to the blogs and polls. I think it's interesting that he's veering away, but this could be a problem down the road.

I am a teacher, a mother and wife and I like to think I am a pretty good citizen. I read ALOT. I also write a good deal on various blogs. I appreciate a chance to respond to what we see in the news. I think that by posting our opinions we can probably find that everyone is more alike than we are willing to admit. Face it, people just like to argue. I would also like to say how much I appreciate having a forum for my views.
