Hiding in the Backwaters Just one more blog on the net.

And you’re surprised because…?

The White House on Obama's promise to lift the ban on needle exchange programs:

We have not removed the ban in our budget proposal because we want to work with Congress and the American public to build support for this change."

And from America Blog:

Let's see...

1. The candidate promised to lift the ban.
2. The White House Web site reaffirmed the president's commitment to lifting the ban.
3. The White House Web site no longer reaffirms his commitment to lifting the ban.
4. The president now refuses to lift the ban.
5. The president actually affirmatively makes things worse by administratively supporting defending the ban.
6. The spokesman reiterates the president's support for lifting the ban, some day, once Congress gets around to it.

Sound familiar?

I hate to say, "I told you so," but "I told you so."
