The Audacity of Political Calculation, Part III

From CNN Fortune:
“Sometimes during campaigns the rhetoric gets overheated and amplified,” he conceded, after I reminded him that he had called NAFTA “devastating” and “a big mistake,” despite nonpartisan studies concluding that the trade zone has had a mild, positive effect on the U.S. economy.
Props to Eddie of Hidden Unities, who first warned me that I shouldn’t listen to Obama’s words, but rather expect him to do what he needed to do to win.
I get less worried about Barack “Bush III” Obama by the minute!

“…I shouldn’t listen to Obama’s words…”
I have decided he is an unreconstructed leftist at his core. So yeah, his verbal maneuvers to be elected don’t matter….because I will never vote for a leftist.
So, since I have read nothing to dissuade me of this opinion, I have mostly dropped out of any online debates of Obama vs McCain (I won’t vote for Nader, Waters, or Barr either).

Is there a way to know whether Obama is an unreconstructed leftist, or a cynical political entrepreneur?
