Yeah, that's pretty interesting, isn't it? Worth pointing out to Obamanauts who want to raise the debt ceiling.

Pfft. He was never "for" or "against" anything, that line just probably happened to be politically expedient at the time.

and it was being backed by the same GOP that's supposedly against it now. This is an issue were those in the majority are for and those in the minority are against regardless of what party it actually is.

Obama was for many things before elections, but he has a track record of making false promises.

US presidents have a history of abandoning campaign promises by pointing out that “the world looks different from here” when they reach the Oval Office. A growing number of Democratic foreign policy wonks are hoping that Barack Obama will do just that with his Iraq election promises if he wins the race for the White House in November.
