Well, hell if we know.

Last November, Barack Obama thought the Washington, DC handgun ban to be constitutional. This past week, he declared his belief that the Second Amendment protects the individual right to bear arms.

Conveniently now in general election mode, Obama looked to the recent history of Al Gore’s 2000 gun problem, and quickly shifted gears.

But since we are told that Barack Obama is different, a change agent, the sacred lamb from God, etc. (monkey or Judeo-Christian, one is now unsure), we must look at this change of position not as that of a politician, but as that of a highly moral, well-trained lawyer, who once held the highest law school student post in the land as the editor of the Harvard Law Review. His legal research skills should be second-to-none. He ought to already have had a well-defined take on the meaning of the Second Amendment.

Despite his flipping and flopping about, he does, actually. His real beliefs were exhibited in November, 2007, when he declared he did not believe in the individual right to bear arms. But now, with the new opinion in Heller, and the impending importance of those rural voters he contemptuously tolerates to his electoral chances in November, the tune must change. He has put down the trigger lock and picked up the banjo.

This is an important inconsistency - any time a candidate unequivocally poo-poos an express constitutional right then makes a 180 degree turn it’s news. The bigger story here is that Obama is just another politician.

Except that he is worse, in that his true ideas, which he is daily attempting to mask, are more fit for the socialist democracies of yore than the free capitalistic republic of tomorrow.  He will not run as a proud liberal. He will not tell use what all his proposed “solutions” would really cost the American taxpayer. Some of his more sparkling generalities betray his true intent (like wanting supreme court justices to “feel”, instead of think), but with great determination he is coding every far left policy proposal he would enact once elected. Plus, he’s already playing the race card, blaming the Republicans for doing it last week, when in fact no Republican has the guts to even touch upon the topic.

It is clear now. Barack Obama must be the love child of Al Sharpton and John Kerry.

However, Obama is messianic in one way - never before have we witnessed such a charlatan pitching his case so eloquently for ultimate power, while poorly pretending otherwise. The facade is a-crackin’. Let’s everyone grab a hammer.
