Illinois Current Democratic Governor Pat Quinn...
"I’ve been to Pearl Harbor. I laid a wreath at Pearl Harbor. I’ve been to Auschwitz. I laid a wreath at Auschwitz. I’ve been to Ground Zero, and I laid a wreath there. I do believe that there are special places on Earth that should have a zone of solemnity around them.

I guess a politician has got to be a politician and leave any sense of principles behind when public opinions says he needs to be on this side of fence.
