I think it it the 'believe' part that SSS has a problem with.
To me it is simply the type of change.
And maybe, just maybe, he thinks his way through situations and doesn't just shoot from the hip. Maybe he actually reads white papers (and newspapers for that matter) and makes informed decisions. A novel thought process, I know, but one that has been missing for the last seven and one half years.and I especially don't like the way he tends to stall on major issues (including, most recently, the bailout) until he figures out which is the politically safest position for him to take.

I think part of being a leader is the ability to think on one's feet and take an almost immediate position on an issue. There is not always time for white papers and research.ne1410s wrote:sss:And maybe, just maybe, he thinks his way through situations and doesn't just shoot from the hip.

Also, waffling should not be confused with taking time to do academic research.
I don't blame Bush for sometimes making rash or fast decisions over the last 7 1/2 years...sometimes one has to take a risk and act fast to be most effective. While I don't blame him for his method...I do blame him for being a huge idiot. Well let me correct myself...I blame America for electing a huge idiot.
Obama doesn't think his way through situations. He floats trial balloons (at least three I know of in the Georgia crisis), then sees how that plays in the media before changing his mind and arriving at a conclusion.ne1410s wrote:sss:And maybe, just maybe, he thinks his way through situations and doesn't just shoot from the hip.
