Yeah, that was also a big problem with him - his stated policies and past 
policy decisions didn't line up very well, and he was all over the board 
on what he was for.  Most of his campaigning was based on "I'm against 
what Obama's doing".

Pretty glad the electorate didn't fall for *that*, even though I'm not 
very happy with Obama's stand on intellectual property and privacy 
issues.  Right now, neither party is making me very happy.
