That isn't the whole story, Chuck. In that last debate you reference, to his credit, I think, Obama kept refusing to do the "yes or no" thing. Are any of the important issues before a president simple yes or no issues? Without this dynamic, your entry implies something else that is negative about Obama...

And, actually, at the end of that question, he answered, 'Yes,' saying he did approve of licenses

Barack showed his character strengths for admitting he fudged that question one week after Clinton did on the same one. It's unbelievable that he made the same mistake months ago and was foolish, arguably not reflecting, when he pointed out another one of Hillary's flip flops. Perhaps, his single policy error on the campaign trail. However, if you notice he didn't attempt to obfuscate this error. He admitted it and that was it. Meanwhile, Clinton lacks the character to admit mistakes on policy. Her painful, laborious response in a vain attempt to muddy the clear waters of voting to go for war or not should shed some light on her poor character.

Patrick,Lincoln,NE:
The job of the President of the USA IS a yes or no kind of a job. You can't just refuse to do the "yes or no thing" and say maybe. Their will be alot of tough decisions to make and you have to be ready! Hillary 2008!

Mike, you MISSED that one by a million miles.

In Las Vegas, it was a YES or No question, and Obama reiterated that he was ALREADY ON THE RECORD from the Philadelphia debate as saying YES, so a yes or no answer was irrelevant to the extent that it wasn't going to tell the voters anything new. So he chose to do some explaining instead, before he was rudely interupted and pressed by Wolf to say yes or a no.

Even my 12-year got it.

No he didn't! Talk about misrepresentations. Mike explained it correctly. Wolfe had to get Sen. Obama out of the meandering explanation by reminding him it was a yes or no question. Come on already- what's with the months old spin and rewriting?
