Sounds like business as usual in Washington to most of us. It doesn't matter who the candidate or whether there is an R or a D or anything else after their name...they will and do say ANYTHING they think the party faithful want to hear. Obama just happens to be the most recent. And too many of you don't remember back beyond Bush because the 24/7, slanted media was not as prevalent then as it is now. Because if you could make a comparison back beyond Bush you would be saying, like Bush and all before him, Obama is nothing more than saying what the people want to hear, delivering on not much of what was said.

And of course there difference in addition to the 24/7 slanted media we have the ever present partisan mania that feel obligated to spend time on everything except the current issues. Partisan politicking is no more credible than political correctness...both are concepts designed to avoid the reality of the here and now and calling, doing saying what is right.
