Nothing New Or Different About Obama

From CBSNews.com:

Barack Obama, D-Ill., said in New Hampshire voters wanted a new vision. But the National Review Online says there's nothing "new" or different" about him: Obama is an extremely liberal-left politician.

Just look at his record.
  • Obama voted against the Bush tax cuts on capital gains and dividends....
  • The young senator also voted against repealing the death tax.
  • He has voted against free trade (CAFTA) and U.S. energy independence (drilling in ANWR), and has opposed lifting a $0.54 per gallon tariff on Brazilian ethanol.
  • He's also strongly opposed to personal retirement accounts for Social Security reform, and prefers instead that the government stewards your money.
  • He voted against Supreme Court judges Sam Alito and John Roberts
  • He said no to Patriot Act wiretap extensions....
  • He collaborated in blocking John Bolton's appointment to the United Nations.
  • He voted against a ban on partial-birth abortions twice as a state senator.
  • He opposed the Defense of Marriage Act and stood against the Federal Marriage Amendment....
