and please note Obama's stances when he was running for positions slightly less hi-visibility as the American Presidency. Leave it up to The One to change his mind to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

It reminds me of 8th grade student council president election, when the candidate promises to make every Friday a holiday, ban all homework and add free vending machines to every classroom. Just tell everybody what they want to hear, regardless if you believe it or are even capable of delivering.
