At DNC 2004 convention, I recall people saying he sounded liked a conservative. Obama is smart, smart, he knows how to parse words so that he can insert one word that will change the entire sentence meaning for people that can speak in code. That is he knows how to say what people want to hear, but underneath it he is saying something totally different.

Exactly. Then the media, in their stupidity, pick up on and spin what he didn’t say as if he said it. For example, all he said about not smoking in the White House is that he wouldn’t ‘be seen’ violating the no-smoking policy. That was a wiggle statement that would make Bill Clinton proud, yet all the press picked up on it as if he’d promised not to smoke in the White House. Then the headline writers simply followed suit.

Sounding like a Republican is not something that conservatives should be applauding. Modern Republicans make me sick.
