Obama has changed over the course of his presidency. It is to be expected but sometimes I feel like he is just going through the motions. I admire his willingness to make changes in his cabinet that support more of a moderate agenda (because after all that is why we elect Presidents, to represent to majority) but he is skirting an issue that needs to be dealt with. Part of the reason I voted for him was that he did not play with issues like civil liberties. I think his hands are tied but as much as I admire his character and reticent nature about dealing with potentially volatile situations I expect more out of him. I think he is a good leader and generally a good man so I am puzzled that he would ignore something that has seemed to almost polarize the country.
