No, I haven't missed the point.
I totally agree he changed his position on issues once his level of responsibility changed.

I freely state it makes him a hypocrite.

And?

Was the same level of ridicule levelled at Obama and Clinton for changing their stance on issues?

Now what? We've all had our digs at him but he's still the bloke in the big chair needing to push the button and be the hypocrite or do nothing and be labelled spineless and non caring.

You still never answered my question, in the same position what would you have done?
