Then you need to compare Obama's record/stance on issues BEFORE he secured the nomination with his record/stance AFTER he secured the nomination. Obama's nose will be, oh, about 6 times longer than McCain's. And, please note, I am NO fan of McCain's and I feel very uncomfortable painting him in a good light as a result of these comparisons with Barky. They are both bums. I think we can agree, off-kilter, that the bailout is a horrible thing. Yet both McCain and Obama are for it. The difference is that Obama was much more eager for this government intervention than McCain was. As such, on this issue, Obama was MUCH MORE in line with Bush than McCain was.
