I can not understand how we the people can give the POTUS or any other politician a free pass on what they have said with complete openness and then do the opposite time and time again.
Was he just an ignorant junior politician that did not understand how the office of president worked?
Or is he a hypocritical liar now?
And so as to not put words in responders mouth.. if you have another explanation for this ..please post up.

To offer a counterpoint, perhaps he "learned" that his idealistic views while in Congress did not match the requirements of the Presidency.

Much like a PFC who talks smack about the Sergeant Major or 1st Sergeant only to learn what is actually needed when placed in that position himself. Yes, the words bite him in the tail but there isn't a world wide record of every idiotic statement made from 10 years in the past.

Or more likely that they just say the things that will get them immediate benefits without looking at the entire picture. And the power grab thing.

He was not "an ignorant junior politician" and he is not "a hypocritical liar". Your comments are disappointing. Can't you find a more eloquent way to articulate your disagreement with his politics? RP deserves better than that.

Many voters seem to forget the promises or else they are so jaundiced they recognize the false promises for what they are yet continue to vote for whoever promises to give them more SGM Erik Marquez.
I hope and pray that by the next election sufficient people with wisdom and strong character will vote after examining the various candidates platforms and vote strategically.
