"Changing your mind about something as new information or circumstances come available is not lying."

A specious observation....

What 'new information' happened between the Presidential debates and Bush's swearing in, to cause the reversal in his stated views about leaving the issues of medical marijuana and gay marriage up to the States to decide?

Did gays stop being gay, or marijuana stop being marijuana in those few months? LOL!

Nah, he either lied (knowing he didn't intend to carry through on what he told tens of millions of Americans), or else some kind of political pressure caused him to flip-flop.

Which was it? Deliberate lie or flip-flop?
