In the 1930s the leader of German National Socialism promised everything to everybody. He was pro-labor until he got power. Then he abolished unions "for the good" of the state.

Wary of the top military generals but needing the army, he caused some to be assassinated and others to retire. His regime accused one general's wife of being a former prostitute. Scandalized, he retired. Hitler made his own private army, the S.S., and more new political generals.

In 2008, Obama said marriage was between a man and a woman. Before the 2012 election, Obama said he was for gay marriage.

Before the Arab spring turned to a Muslim Brotherhood blizzard, Obama supported our ally Mubarak. When the wind shifted he threw Mubarak overboard.

Before the 2007 election, Obama stated his administration would be the most transparent. Then nothing but fog and party line claptrap.

Who knows what Homeland Security is up to these days?
