This is unfortunately what it seems like now. I never thought Obama was being deliberately malicious, but his actions seem to suggest he's on the leash of somebody. Consider; previously he did interviews with every station, even Fox. Now he refuses interviews with Fox. He promised to reach across the aisle, and now ignores all political points except his own. He promised no new taxes, and now he requires them to fund his health care reform...
For a guy I want to think well of, he keeps doing his best to disappoint me :/
