Obama Finally Speaks Some Truth

Obama made a revealing statement to the press in London as they addressed the declining potential authority (and eventual power) of Prime Minister Gordon Brown. An opinion poll showing the Conservatives enjoying a 24-point lead among voters in key marginal constituencies. Support for Labour has slumped to 17%, putting the party in third place behind the Liberal Democrats, who are on 18%. As things are headed, Brown is facing either a fight and potentially resigning as prime minister.

Patrick Hennessy, Political Editor, The Telegraph reporting on Brown's struggles said,

The crisis enveloping the Prime Minister overshadowed talks he held yesterday with Barack Obama, the Democratic challenger for the US presidency.

At a news conference, Senator Obama said sympathetically: "You're always more popular before you're actually in charge of things."

From the other side of the world and when the news question focused on someone other than himself, Obama finally speaks truth. It is doubtful that Obama would have admitted that he is popular among large groups of people because he has never "actually" been "in charge" of anything. Even as Senator, Obama avoided issues and sided with his liberal base on almost all situations or skipped or voted present on issues. The Presidency is not the place for Obama to be trained in making tough decisions and to gain experience.
