Obama has no clothes - So much for running on hope

It was inevitable that Obama would cast his old poltical clothes that duped the democratic left and put on his real slick political clothes.

In the weeks leading up the election you will see Obama punched to a corner where he will reveal more and more of his true colors.

Here it a story from the NYTimes.

Mr. Obama, whose candidacy has been built in part on a promise to transcend traditional politics, is running the negative commercials on local stations even as he runs generally positive spots nationally, during prime-time coverage of the Olympics.

“If you can go quietly negative, that’s what he’s done; I think the perception is that he’s still running the positive campaign,” said Evan Tracey, president of the Campaign Media Analysis Group of TNS Media Intelligence, which monitors political advertising.

But Mr. Obama’s advertising has increasingly included spots that, like those from Mr. McCain, have been called negative and misleading by independent media analysts like FactCheck.org, part of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania.
