I think that it's important to understand the vantage point of a senator versus the vantage point of a president. When you're a senator, traditionally what's happened is, this is always a lousy vote. Nobody likes to be tagged as having increased the debt limit — for the United States by a trillion dollars. As president, you start realizing, you know what, we, we can't play around with this stuff. This is the full faith and credit of the United States. And so that was just an example of a new senator making what is a political vote as opposed to doing what was important for the country. And I'm the first one to acknowledge it.

Always be politicking."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson
“In a democracy, I realize you don’t need to talk to the top leader to know how the country feels. When I go to a dictatorship, I only have to talk to one person and that’s the dictator, because he speaks for all the people.” - Jimmy Carter

And MRT, that was most likely IMPROBABLE HISTORY.
It did take some time for him to change his mind. In 2007 he voted "Present" in a similar vote. Quite gutless, but typical for a Chicago politician. Politics over the common goal every time.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

No arguement. In fact it was the same one I used when everyone was butthurt over Kerry losing in 2004."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson
