Since winning the election, President Barack Obama has famously flip-flopped on many of the major issues that he championed on the campaign trail. But did you know hes also flip-flopped on a myriad of less publicized issues?
Bin Ladens significance to Obama dissipated during the transition. By the time Obama gave another interview in early January, he said killing or capturing bin Laden was not necessary to meet our goal of protecting America. A few months later, when he announced his Afghanistan troop surge, he made no reference to the hunt for bin Laden.
Nonetheless, during his recent trip to Turkey as president, Obama broke his promise. Instead, he tried to muddy the waters, announcing that my views are on the record and I have not changed views but refusing to state what those views actually are.

but he kept his promise to Michelle...he took her to Bway!$$
All that matters to Barry is that he won. If it’s not about him, forget it.
Classless narcissist. Pray for our country.
Is politico trying to recoup their shredded journalistic integrity?
It’s Bush’s fault.
Ok...gonna go out on a limb here but maybe (prayerfully hopeful) a few journalists are beginning to see the dangers
Dear Leader foists on the USA. Cause if he grinds the economy
to a standstill even the most loyal journalists and their extended families will feel the financial repercussions.
I would imagine that there are a few “journalists” who can see the writing on the wall, but my comment was even a bit more pointed than that. Politico isn’t a traditionally liberal bastion of “journalistic anti-integrity”.
Politico, at one time (before the 2008 election) was considered a right-leaning website/blog. Some even claimed they were on the ultra side of conservative. In 2008, they6 crossed the divide and tacitly (or perhaps openly - I don’t recall) supported Obambi (BIRD!).
Now, they have waffled back over toward the conservative side.
Fool me once...
They screwed themselves up, and now want to act as if it never happened. Just my $.02, but I’m disinclined to forget their transgressions.
Not to mention the fact that he lifted the ban on lobbyists in his administration over this past weekend.
From early in the Clinton Administration: “He’s kept all the campaign promises he intends to keep”
