Of course, politicians are able to flip-flop and get away with it so it's also irrelevant unless they are held accountable.

I agree.
Don't want to go too off-topic, but people keep sending me emails with a 10 second video showing Obama saying "Muslim Faith." That wasn't even a gaffe or Obama misspeaking IMO. For example, I am a heterosexual female. I am 57 and unmarried. So let's say some neighbors spread the rumor that I am gay. While talking to someone about my life, we start to discuss my sexual orientation. If I said "Regarding me being a lesbian" I would be referring to what others have said about me. That's why I don't understand why his words were even an issue. He was only answering questions about the rumors spread about his religious beliefs. If a person is accused of having mob ties and he said "Regarding my ties to the mob" and you took that out of context by not showing the entire interview, you could accuse that person of having mob ties. It's ridiculous.
