The Colvin Report: 'Change' Round 1

I may be the only one challenging this concept of CHANGE, but I am willing to be 'that guy' as I'll be taking a few jabs at Obama's positions in a series of blogs.

For one, I think Obama is naive on developing foreign policy and maintaining foreign relationships. I point to back in August, when Obama said he would be willing to meet leaders of rogue states like Cuba, North Korea and Iran without conditions. What is he thinking? I sure would like to hear this plan. When asked: the plan would “depend on how best to conduct them."

Further, he has also said, and i quote, "If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won’t act, we will.” I may be a conservative, but I'm not sure we need a war in Pakistan, the nation that continues to cooperate with the Bush administration.

I know what your thinking, "But Obama is going to change things, he will bring people together."

This brings me to my second point, he hasn't been very successful during his tenure in Congress. According to National Journal, he ranked as the most liberal senator in Congress. In 2007, he voted the liberal position 65 out of 66 casted votes. I'm reminded of a previous candidate being a "uniter not a divider." In a democratic controlled Congress, he doesn't seem to be a leader of change, more of a follower of the 'same ol' actually.

I think Obama is a charismatic speaker with lots of conclusions and no plans. Maybe that comes from his lack of experience. What do you have to say about that?
