I also disagree with Obama on the issue of ethanol. However, if he had not pandered, would he have won the IOWA caucus? I doubt it. If he had not won the Iowa caucus would we be talking about Obama as the nominee? I doubt it. So the question is a classic "Does the end (winning Iowa, winning the nomination, winning the GE and becoming a great president) justify the means (telling the Iowa farmers what they wanted to hear, even if you know it is bad economic policy and just pure BS). We can each form our own opinion on this philosophical question.
