Of course - "President Obama Has a Much Different Opinion on the PATRIOT Act Than Did Senator Obama."

What is it about higher office that engenders such blatant and obvious hypocrisy?  Is it that they're lying from the jump or do they always show the new guy, like Bill Hicks* said, that special Dealey Plaza footage from a never seen before angle?

*The Bill Hicks bit*

"I have this feeling man, 'cause you know, it's just a handful of people who run everything, you know...  that's true, it's provable. It's not...  I'm not a fucking conspiracy nut, it's provable. 

A handful, a very small elite, run and own these corporations, which include the mainstream media. I have this feeling that whoever is elected president...  no matter what you promise on the campaign trail - blah, blah, blah - when you win, you go into this smoke-filled room with the twelve industrialist capitalist scum-fucks who got you in there. 

And you're in this smoky room, and this little film screen comes down...  and a big guy with a cigar goes, "Roll the film." And it's a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you've never seen before...  that looks suspiciously like it's from the grassy knoll. 

And then the screen goes up and the lights come up, and they go to the new president, "Any questions?"

"Er, just what my agenda is."
