Our Future Leader?

I thought about mentioning this a couple of days ago when I first heard about it...but I didn't because I was concerned about getting negative comments. Which is ironic, because of course I wanted to point out that Obama doesn't have much of a spine. Hmmmm...

Anyhow, here's the story; draw your own conclusions...

Obama Crushes Audacity of Hope for Disabled Americans and their Families

In a presidential debate last night, Sen. Barack Obama, (D-Ill), said, for the second time this year, that he regretted supporting federal legislation aimed at saving the life of Terri Schiavo. He even suggested the legal efforts to stop Terri's death by dehydration and starvation constituted a "costly" action.

So, there you have it. It's amazing the power "We the people" have over our leaders, and how the will of the American people (overall) was clearly interpreted by the Senate and our other elected officials at that point in time, including Barack. But now he says the whole thing was clearly a mistake... Well, if that bill really did violate his conscience (as distorted as his views were on the Schiavo case,) he personally could have voted against it, right? Upon doing more research, I've discovered that in the Senate it was a "voice vote" so it simply would have meant speaking up and saying "Nay." But peer pressure is a powerful thing.

Maybe he wants to be President because then his one vote really does have the power to pass or stop something. In the Senate, he only wished it did, but he didn't even have the guts to stand alone and now he regrets it...

Easy for me to say...
