Obama’s “Change” on Welfare Reform
It seems Barack Obama can’t run fast enough back and forth to the left and center. The Obama camp launched a new ad touting his stance on welfare reform, but as usual, his ads don’t tell the whole story. Is there anyone out there who still doesn’t believe this guy is another opportunist who will say anything to get votes?
“Obama’s transformation from critic to champion of welfare reform is the latest in a series of moves to the center. Since capturing the Democratic nomination, the Obama campaign has altered its stances on Social Security taxes, meeting with rogue leaders without preconditions, and the constitutionality of Washington, D.C.’s, sweeping gun ban.
The shift in Obama’s rhetoric on welfare reform has proceeded in stages. When former President Bill Clinton was poised to sign welfare reform while running for re-election in 1996, Obama called it "disturbing." A decade later, as an underdog running for president against Clinton’s wife, he spent 2007 avoiding the subject. By the time Obama emerged as the Democratic frontrunner in the spring of 2008, he began leaving the impression that he was for it all along.”
