Obama: Is there a do not sell after date?

The current news reports discuss how Barack Obama is rising out of the debris, and is emerging as the front runner. A large portion of this is attributed to the young, disillusioned voter who believes that Obama represents a new kind of politician whose views reflect those of the younger voter.... a politician who reflects change.

Personally, I like his current opinions. But, what about the fact that we dont know what his opinion will be in four years. Time and experience changes a person. If Obama is elected, the Republicans have a fair shot at him. Time and experience will not only change him, but also his opinions. Voters talk about Obama and state with bated breath that his lack of experience with foreign policy, and the fact that he is not a politician is refreshing. But, the larger problem is not his inexperience, but the result of his gaining experience. What happens once Washington gets to him? What happens when the slim majority he has in congress prevents his bills from being passed? What happens when his popularity drops because people are frustrated with some of his efforts It is possible that he will remain the way he is, and will turn out to be an excellent President. On the other hand, he will, more likely, have to compromise. However, when he compromises, he will necessarily change directions from what he believes.

With Obama, I feel like we may get a president who will, and rightfully so, change with the times, but accordingly become different from what was originally sold to us. He hence reminds me of George W. Bush. I am sure Bush came in with the best of intentions... but the road to hell (where we are currently) is paved with good intentions.
