McCain:

Can you explain your different positions on these issues:

In 1994, you argued for a law to require the immediate withdrawal of US troops from Haiti where we were invited in to help restore order and a democratic government,: "In my view that does not mean as soon as order is restored to Haiti. It does not mean as soon as democracy is flourishing in Haiti. It does not mean as soon as we have established a viable nation in Haiti. As soon as possible means as soon we can get out of Haiti without losing any American lives.”...but you are willing to have the US stay in Iraq for 100 years, if necessary?

In 2003, you said "the Bush tax cuts were too tilted to the wealthy"....but now you want to make them permanent.

In 1999, you said he didn't want to see Roe v. Wade overturned because it could force "women in America to [undergo] illegal and dangerous operations"...but now you say repeal of the landmark USSC decision "wouldn't bother me any."

Obama:

Here is my resume.....can I have a job? I'm thinking Special Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Affairs
