From the link above:

"The Illinois Democrat said he could no longer stand by the statements he made after his 2004 election and earlier this year that he would serve a full six-year term in Congress."

Just as he waffles on pledging to serve a six-year term, soon he will be waffling on lobbyist gifts/trips.

And soon, if he continues to make 2008 presidential campaign steps, the Clinton war machine will put him in its sights, and a flury of anti-Obama stories and questions about his positions will be in the media.

The Clinton war machine has already knocked John Warner out of the 2008 campaign, and Obama will soon be told to "talk only about 2012, or else."

Riiiight, thank you psychic sock puppet.

The other thing I like about Obama is that he's very open and comes out and says things like "I know I promised, but I'm not sure I can hold up to that anymore" instead of "oh by the way, I'm running." He's a Democrat, so clearly his votes are left leaning, but I find that his opinions on issues are rather agreeable.

Just read part of a humor column on another website that said, paraphrasing now:

"If Obama can't keep even the first promise he made as a politician, he should be well qualified to run for President."

A sad commentary on our politicians and political system.

Just yesterday it was posted that the Clinton war room would be attacking Obama, and today it starts:

Dem Bill Would Force Obama to Share Charisma

by Scott Ott
(2006-10-23) -- Sen. Barack Obama, the presumptive 2008 Democrat presidential nominee, came under attack today from his own party when Democrats in the Senate introduced a bill that would force him to share his abundant charisma with his colleagues.

And today Rush Limbaugh is accused of being the first to label him "Osama Obama" but recordings prove party-boy Ted Kennedy was first. Mary Jo could not be reached for comment.
