Participant[quote=gandalf]BTW, is anybody going to take a stab at rebutting the main point of the Newsweek article?
Obama’s foreign policy positions are more realist, pragmatic and conservative than the Bush/McCain positions, which are idealogical and interventionist.
Some of the responses actually discussed foreign policy…[/quote]
Which polices?? His six months ago? His now? Next weeks’s policies??
What his is lastest policy on Iraq anyway. Do you know??

Participant[quote=no_such_reality]My core issue is I don’t believe a word he says. I believe everything he says is carefully crafted to garner votes and doesn’t reflect anything he may actually do. Hence I don’t know what he’ll do, then I look at his record before he started pandering and it’s clear.
McCain is pandering just as badly.

McCain held out for 3 years longer then neccessary as a pow due to his principles.
If McCain was panderer don’t you think he would have taken his early release???
How long would Obama stayed in that cell pass the time he could have gotten out??

Participant[quote=gandalf]That’s another good link, jfiq.
I don’t see the huge ‘flip-flop’ here. The Supreme Court’s decision was quite a bit more nuanced than the MSM reported. Obama’s position on gun control is basically the same: the individual has a right to own handguns but the government has the right to impose common sense regulations on the purchase and ownership. If his position changed, it went from 45% to 55%.
Besides, I really couldn’t give a rat’s ass about gun control. That wasn’t the topic. This discussion is about foreign policy.
[/quote]A constitutional law professor should be comfortable with nuanced decisions.
You don’t care about gun control, neither to I, but I do take notice when a constitutional law professor handles questioning on an amendment to the constitution in such an amateurish fashion.
