Much has been written today about Bill O’Reilly’s Sunday interview of The President. At one point during the interview, Bill reads a question from concerned American who asks “Mr. President, why do you feel it’s necessary to fundamentally transform the nation that has afforded you so much opportunity and success?” Obama backs away from his promise to do that very thing.

Over at RedState, Dan Spencer has an excellent post dissecting the President’s answer.

So why would Obama, after five years, finally back away from his radical fundamentally changing America remark?
