The last time I trusted a politician was in 2008, when I supported Obama.

This is always an interesting problem, ie, that one plays the game according to the rules, but one thinks the rules should be different.

If he's already doing this, how do we know he is sincere about not sending the military back in full force to the Middle East?

We don't know it.
This one of the biggest risks I see with him.
