Promises Made, Promises Broken

Last night in a CBS News interview, Barack Obama said that isolating Osama Bin Laden, but not killing him, was a satisfactory outcome.

In contrast, during the presidential campaign, Obama said that killing Bin Laden should be our biggest priority. Moreover, Obama said the war in Iraq was a distraction from going after Bin Laden, using this line of attack to demonstrate his toughness in foreign affairs.

Obama continues to retreat from policies and views expressed in the campaign. After eight years of clarity and consistency from President Bush, I guess this is part of the "change" an Obama administration is bringing to the country.
