Debate Why do all politicians flip-flop?

So admittedly, I'm watching Stephen Colbert and he starts going on about Obama and his whole public financing flip-flopping. And he gives Obama "a wag of his finger" for "copying John McCain" who, Colbert adds, "was flip-flopping long before you were born, Obama!"
But he "flip-flops on flip-flopping" by giving Obama a "tip of the hat" for proving that he is, in fact, a politician. Which got me thinking... I remember four years ago, I was watching Independence Day with a friend of mine and I said, "Why can't Bill Pullman be our president?" Come to that, folks, why can't Harrison Ford (Air Force One) be our president? Or hell, even Luke Wilson (Idiocracy)?! I'd vote for Robin Williams (Man of the Year) any day! The (or should I say "a") fault in American democracy is how much politicians need to pander in order to get the votes to get in office. I bloody hate pandering!!! And... Aw, I've run out of steam. I'm too upset to say anymore, but... Funny quote from my brother about George W Bush-- "He may lead the nation to Armageddon, but dammit he's going to stay the course no matter what!" It may be the wrong direction-- but at least he HAS a direction. (Don't get me wrong-- I'm still voting Obama most likely come election day. Unless Bill Pullman randomly decides to enter the race. ;o) )
