Please, we don't understand your position.

One of the things that makes me not trust President Obama are things like I just read in an AP story. Take a gander:

Associated Press Writer Andrew Taylor –
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama asked Congress on Thursday for $83.4 billion for U.S. military and diplomatic operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, pressing for special troop funding that he opposed two years ago when he was senator and George W. Bush was president.

Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, acknowledged that Obama has been critical of Bush's use of similar special legislation to pay for the wars. He said it was needed this time because the money will be required by summer, before Congress is likely to complete its normal appropriations process.

Obama was a harsh critic of the Iraq war as a presidential candidate, a stance that attracted support from the Democratic Party's liberal base and helped him secure his party's nomination. He opposed an infusion of war funding in 2007 after Bush used a veto to force Congress to remove a withdrawal timeline from the $99 billion measure.

But he supported a war funding bill last year that also included about $25 billion for domestic programs. Obama also voted for war funding in 2006, before he announced his candidacy for president.

Obama warned lawmakers not to succumb to the temptation to use the must-pass war funding bill as a vehicle for other spending.

"I want the Congress to send me a focused bill, and to do so quickly," he wrote.

Why the back-and-forth? Why the criticism of President Bush when he (Obama) is doing the same thing? Why insist on no pork spending this time? Why did he not insist on no pork in the stimulus bill? Makes one wonder if everything he said was just to get elected. I have mentioned before that I am concerned that Obama is one of those "false and designing men who would cheat us out of our liberties by artifice" (Samuel Adams). I am happy that the people of the United States are happy to finally have a black President. I just don't think this was the best choice. I think he is too inexperienced. I think he isn't sure of his positions. We need someone to run this country who is sure of his positions. Hopefully those positions are moral, conservative, ethical, fair, just, and honest.
