I have a bigger problem with people who think politicians will actually adhere or should adhere to a set goal.
Flexibility is big in learning to adapt to changing environments. Politics is an ever-changing environment.
Bush could've said "Hey, our country is safe, and we are fine now and I will keep it this way" on 9/10/01 and would've been nuts if he thought the same the next day. Of course, events occur in the world that you are not necessarily in charge of, and you have to adapt.
I'd rather have politicians willing to adapt and change to the country to keep up with the country and to provide the best possible answers for each problem as they come along rather than have a set line that may soon be outdated and behind.
If history teaches anything.. those who refuse to adapt and advance often end up behind and forgotten.
