The banter around the office lately has been on how President Obama has had to eat some of his words lately. It would appear that promises made on the campaign trail are not always as easy to keep once in office. He has now had to adjust his time table for withdrawing troops from Iraq and he has gone and hired lobbyists after saying they would not be allowed in his administration. Politics as usual were going to change. Well, somethings just don't! Washington is made up of lobbyists...and apparently tax evaders as well. What is going on there? I wonder what would happen if I didn't pay my taxes. Bet I wouldn't be offered a Cabinet position! So the reality of being in Washington is hitting Obama between the eyes. In my opinion, all he would need to say is something to the effect that his intentions were to do "A", but when he got to Washington and saw the ground truth, he had to adjust a little and do "B", though he will continue to get to "A". Maybe then, people would give him a bit more slack. Let's hope he gets that part straight soon, or those nice, high approval rating will disappear fast.
