I’m not really an Obama supporter. I like most of these changes. These seem like rational, real-world, pragmatic positions, rather than the rhetorical idealistic positions held previously.

One example: Iraq – Do you want him to say that regardless of the conditions on the ground he should order an immediate withdrawal, based on the fact that 10-12 months ago he thought that was the proper course of action. Just to save face ? To me, adapting to what has changed in Iraq and the willingness to reconsider his position is a HUGE improvement over GWB, who usually takes a position and never lets go, regardless.

These changes demonstrate adaptibility and maturity. He’s starting to me to look more electable and presidential, rather than an idealogue.
