So if a presidential candidate says something and then changes his mind, whether there's a good reason to or not. . . .is that breaking a promise?
I don't think so, and I was watching CNN(Lou Dobbs is funny), and that's what he kept calling Obama's decision regarding public funding for his campaign. Breaking a Promise.
Do we as American's really belive that everytime a presidential candidate says something that it's a promise? I don't, I just take it at face value as an ideal they represent. They can say they'll do something all day, but getting it done is something totally different.
So did he say he promised?
