Tracking the political animal

Ed Morrissey highlights the Obama problem with an excellent post at Hot Air. Captain Ed notes the laudably vigorous questioning Obama received from journalist Jon Ralston as well as Obama's typically vacuous response:

SEN. OBAMA: John, don’t put words in my mouth or anticipate what I am going to do. I’ve been opposed to Yucca Mountain from the start so if the suggestion is that John McCain who is in favor of Yucca right now should get a pass on that.

He was opposed to telecom immunity at the start, supported public financing at the start, thought the surge would create more violence at the start, and so on, and so on. “Don’t anticipate what I am going to do?” No one can anticipate what he will do — that’s the problem.

People are catching on, and that probably explains Obama's eroding poll numbers.
