I was laughing outloud when he told the Republican House Caucus retreat members that he wasn't an idealogue. Methinks thou dost protest too much...

There's a difference between the two statements, and quite an important one at that. Furthermore, it is my point that Obama is an ideologue who does things because he believes in them, not because he is simply power hungry. If I'm reading between the lines of your comment, that's exactly what you believe as well. Re. abortion: an opportunistic pragmatist would oppose or favor abortion in so far that it would help him gain votes. His current position - which is also his old position - is clearly not what most Americans believe. It's one of his major weaknesses, actually. Yet, he continues to behave like an obsessed social liberal. This actually confirms my point, namely that Obama acts out of ideology, not opportunism.

Obama is that evil. Anyone who makes it his business to vote 4 times for partial birth abortion, to not treat aborted babies who survived - just leave them on a shelf to die, pay for abortions all over the world, get rid of conscience clauses, and make it his business to sign off on all of the above in his first days in office is pure evil. It's why he got the Nobel - Marxists believe we're all just blobs of tissue - easily expendible. Don't be taken in by what they say...look at the history...these people are no different from what went before. We must know who we're dealing with... I totally disagree with you. Obama is that evil.
