Obama Supporters Wary of Move to Center

The New York Daily News is reporting that some supporters of presumed Democratic Nominee, Barack Obama are becoming concerned over some of the recent changes in his political opinions in recent weeks, and are withholding future contributions. Obama who ran against Hillary Clinton as an agent of change has reversed his opinions on many issues recently. Most recently he's reversed his stance on how quickly he would pull troops out of Iraq. It appears that Rev. Jeremiah Wright was correct when he stated that Obama was a true politician. He's a good politician, probably one of the best that we've seen in recent memory, but a politician none the less. This isn't an open criticism of Obama, but the way that he limped to the finish line against Clinton, it's a pretty good bet that he wouldn't have beaten her if he had proclaimed the centrist views that we've been hearing recently.
