What Obama ran on and what he actually did are two completely separate things.

Yes, that was the thrust of the comment; but the bigger point was that most Democrats really didn't seem to mind.

The 'team sport' character of US politics has separated Americans from even the most widely agreed on objective morality; torture, mass spying, arming and enabling genocide, bailing out banks and polluters, etc.
