US presidents have a history of saying one thing on the campaign trail and doing another once they're in office. Clinton said he was going to do health care reform during the campaign, but signed the welfare to work, mandatory sentencing and glass-steagall repeal when he was in office.

Although... just looked at the date on that tweet. He was still in office for his first term at the time. So... yeah... modernity is not a place to look for consistent statements from political figures.
