Karl Rove: Flip-Flops and Governance
Flip-Flops and Governance
By KARL ROVE
Barack Obama inherited a set of national-security policies that he rejected during the campaign but now embraces as president. This is a stunning and welcome about-face...(gives several examples)
...We are also seeing Mr. Obama reverse himself on the domestic front, but this time in a manner that will do more harm than good...(gives examples)
...Mr. Obama's appealing campaign images turned out to have been fleeting. He ran hard to the left on national security to win the nomination, only to discover the campaign commitments he made were shallow and at odds with America's security interests.
Mr. Obama ran hard to the center on economic issues to win the general election. He has since discovered his campaign commitments were obstacles to ramming through the most ideologically liberal economic agenda since the Great Society.
Mr. Obama either had very little grasp of what governing would involve or, if he did, he used words meant to mislead the public. Neither option is particularly encouraging. America now has a president quite different from the person who advertised himself for the job last year. Over time, those things can catch up to a politician.
Exactly what I've been saying for a while now...he either doesn't get it or he does and was just blowing smoke the whole time.

A president who made campaign promises and broke them?!? I never would have seen that coming

Breaking campaign promises is different that specifically mis-leading the country through continual and numerous outright lies when your intentions are to do exactly the opposite of what your original policies were.

I honestly don't think that's what happened. I truly think he just doesn't understand how everything works...along with the vast majority of Americans.
