Is Senator Barack Obama A Flip Flopper?

Is Barack Obama A Flip Flopper?

* Barack Obama was against NAFTA for the following reasons:

* He believes that NAFTA in it's entirety does not provide the ingredients for fair trade, open markets to all, fair wages to employees under that agreement, and safe working environments in some of it's manufacturing elements or organizations.

These are just some of the elements that I can recall, that Barack Obama wants to re-negotiate in the new package, that he intends to introduce when he becomes president.

* Barack Obama promised to consult with John McCain (if he became the democratic nominee), about Public Funding for their campaigns.

However, having experienced the ability of his campaign to raise millions from small donors on the Internet. This new reality seems much more feasible and realistic, and in keeping with his view of not taking financial aid from Lobbyists or big Corporate donors.

Which to my mind, any sensible individual would do under the current circumstances.

* This to my mind is not "FLIP FLOPPING," but good judgement, and being realistic.

Senator Barack Obama was asked to join John McCain in ten Town Hall discussions/interviews with the American people, prior to the general elections.

* Some people feel that Barack Obama is shirking from the invitation, and refuses to commit himself to this much needed exposure.

These allegations are fruitless, for the following reasons:

* Barack Obama just became the democratic nominee.

* He has had a very tiring and relentless campaign against Hillary Clinton.

He still has to convince Hillary Clinton's supporters to support him now that he is the nominee. Which he is the process of doing currently.

* And finally, Barack Obama has the option to decide when, where, and how these debates or interviews will be done. So rushing into anything with John McCain before he gets his own act together, will be a Lack Of

Good Judgement And Foresight!
