policy or poolitics?

How do you differentiate between policy and dirty pools politics? Obama has an emerging problem on this issue, and the man in the mirror’s (wacko Jacko) mom had photo op with obama yesterday.

Positions change sometimes quickly, and I honestly believe it was not either / or, policy , or politics. It was his real first attempt to act like the man in the middle, and take the risks. At least, he made an inroad in taking a calculated risk, which down the road may bring into play some subliminal , repressed
Pictures, even if at this stage they are mostly virtual.
