For Fear of Recanting

February 15th, 2010

Now this says it all:

Asked whether Mr. Obama remains committed to a civilian trial, a White House official began to say yes, but halted for fear of later recanting.

This neatly sums up something that bothers me about this administration: they don’t have clearly defined goals, and strategies to achieve them. It seems with each new poll there’s a new goal and strategy, and the one it replaces, which they had just sung their praises of, is discarded like they never supported it.
