Obama repeatedly changes positions

We know very little about Sen. Obama, but we do know he is unwilling to take a firm stance on issues. Is this really a characteristic of a good president?

Here are a small number of the issues he has flip-flopped on:

• Campaign Financing --Stated he would accept public financing for the general election and then later rejected it.

• FISA -- Voted in favor of the government's eavesdropping program and legal immunity for telecommunications companies after promising supporters he would reject it.

• Gun Ban -- An advocate for both an individual's right to own a gun as well as the government's right to regulate ownership.

• NAFTA -- Assured America he would negotiate a better deal with NAFTA, then winked to the Canadian government that this was simply political posturing and NAFTA would remain unchanged.

• Iraq -- Assured his supporters he would have all American troops pulled out of Iraq immediately; now he claims this would not be possible.

The list is endless.

I am a member of PUMA PAC. We are a group of citizens motivated to action by our shared belief that the current leadership of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has abrogated its responsibility to represent the interests of all Democrats in all 50 states.

I wish to emphasize that I and thousands of other PUMA members will not vote for Sen. Obama, the DNC's selected, not elected, nominee for the 2008 election.

I will be voting for Sen. McCain this November.

The only thing better would be for Sen. McCain to take Sen. Clinton as his running mate. There is no rule preventing this and having a Republican and a Democrat on the same ticket would be true party unity.
