Why should we believe him on other health and life issues?

During the 2008 campaign, Barack Obama consistently misrepresented his position on the "born alive" abortion issue. That he is strongly pro-choice was never an issue. He's in the bag with Democrats on that one. All of George Bush's protections for unborn life and embryonic stem cell research (my reason for changing my party affiliation in 2000) have pretty much been rolled back. But Obama was so far over the cliff on the born alive issue (a baby born alive is killed outside the womb), that even strong pro-choicers like Catholic Nancy Pelosi couldn't support that method. Then he lied about it. It was two and a half years ago, but as health care issues keep coming up, and he needs to clarify his position on everything from Muslim countries' riots to war in Afghanistan, to prisoners at Gitmo, to unions destroying state budgets, I have to ask, why should we believe anything he says?

I keep reminding folks not to listen to what Obama says but pay attention to what he does and doesn't do. That will give them the true evaluation of his agenda.

It's not complicate, he speaks out of both sides of his mouth and has recently started to flip-flops on issues (Kerry style).

Yes, actions speak louder than words, however, when more than half of American can read the writing on the wall; we know what his next steps are going to be and many can also predict his side steps and the explanation of his actions which he always deems justifiably necessary.

Leaves me wondering what "altered reality" is he living in?
