Buchanan: The Kos crowd deserves a Cabinet pick

Why does a conservative seem to respect the Democratic left more than many Democrats? Plus: Pick Hillary, or don't, but get it over with!

    Obama reneged on everyone of his promises before he even took office

    He'll run a "differant kind of campaign" so he smears the Clintons as racist and uses private money after promising he would use only public funds.

    He will bring the troops home from Iraq by the end of the year.....well maybe not.

    He was against offshore oil driling but changed his position after seeing his poll numbers slip.

    He was against taping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve then came out in favor of it.

    He pledged to rescind Bush's tax cuts but now says he would delay rescinding President Bush's tax cuts on wealthy Americans if he becomes the next president and the economy is in a recession, suggesting such an increase would further hurt the economy.

    He said he was against FISA and then in typical Obama style changed his position.

    When Obama promised "change" I didn't realize it meant changing everyone of his positions.
