19. Really? I think it is you who needs to go back and take a look
at what he campaigned, quite passionately on.

1)Offshore drilling. Attacked McCain for supporting it in debates.

2) Mandated Insurance. Attacked Hillary and McCain for supporting it.

3) Deficit Commission. Mocked McCain for suggesting Commissions, calling them a 'stealth way to bypass Congress and that he would never use them, but do everything out in the open.

4) Repeal DADT.

5) Close Guantanamo Bay

6) Education. Promised teachers he 'would be on their side'. Need I say more?

7) Would protect SS from Republican attempts to cut benefits and privatise it. Now rumored to have made a deal on SS cuts in exchange for Tax cuts for the wealthy, but AFTER the election.

8) Restore the rule of law, instead has gone further than Bush claiming 'state secrets' protection and ordering assassinations of U.S. citizens without trial or conviction.

I could go on, but he sure sounded like a real Democrat in the Campaign, especially compared to McCain and Hillary, which is why I supported him over Hillary, based on 'Mandated (Romneycare) Insurance and Commissions to avoid Congressional revue.

What happened to change his mind on so many of the issues he campaigned on? HE says 'my thinking has evolved'. What do you say?
