I've noticed that Obama is now partially agreeing with the ideals of McCain but in a political manner where Obama wants to appease the voters in his favor. What I find disturbing is at first, Obama appeared and spoke with assurance. Now there is more hesitation in his words, too many er's and ah's along with pauses to formulate his thoughts for what the people want to hear, not the knowledgeable responses as before. Makes me feel he's not as assertive for the position as president.
