And you're attacking what you've already decided are Obama's past lies,
while holding up his present words as some sort of immutable truth.   What
if Obama is lying NOW to get elected, and he really intends, once elected,
to do the opposite of what he's saying now?  You reckon that's possible?

Ralph Nader tells the truth all the time, and never changes his message.
But he don't get elected.  What does that tell you?
