That was then, this is now

Look, I don't CARE, OK?

It is hardly a secret that when it comes to offshore drilling, Sen. John McCain was against the idea before he was for it.

So it's a flip-flop -- or maybe he's rethinking his position based on new evidence, like, oh, $4+-a-gallon gas. Who cares what he thought last year if he's right now? Drill, drill, drill.

And I don't care about THIS, either:

The general campaign is on, independent voters are up for grabs, and Barack Obama is toning down his populist rhetoric - at least when it comes to free trade.

In an interview with Fortune to be featured in the magazine's upcoming issue, the presumptive Democratic nominee backed off his harshest attacks on the free trade agreement and indicated he didn't want to unilaterally reopen negotiations on NAFTA.

Was he pandering when he was against NAFTA before he was for it? What's the difference? If he will now support "trade, trade, trade" as the right way to go, more power to him.

"Gotcha!" is boring and not always helpful.
