Actually, I was referring to the fact that many politicians, including the President have at one time said one thing and later said something in direct contradiction to the first statement. That's what you leave yourself open to: casting yourself as a hypocrite. Also, while I'm sure your job is important, I doubt it's as significant and as publicized as Counterterrorism Coordinator to the President of the United States. So it might be a little easier for you to stick to your guns, as it were. It's also probably easier to toot your own horn; millions of people aren't looking at your every word and calling you a liar.
