Barack Obama lied. Yes, this makes him a hypocrite. If Barack Obama was your good friend who you go grab a beer with and he's your friend and everything and he was doing things he said he wouldn't do, you would be mad at him. But you can't judge Barack Obama the same way you would judge a person. He's a politician. It's his job. He supported environmentalism so he could get enough votes to make a difference for another cause. It sure might feel like a betrayal and it is one but of all the things you could backstab someone for, attempting to make a difference in health care or the war in Iraq isn't the worst.
So I'm not going to dive into this flame war
