    bystander

    I guess I'm more skeptical of Obama's motives - it will take a while to rid myself of that after 7+ years of Bush and the rest. I think his new statement meant to be a salve of sorts, but fact-wise, it isn't substantially different from his original statement and most of both statements is wrong.
