Obama: "Rules must be binding. Violations must be punished. Words must mean something."

The apparent Obama Administration mantra is that we must "move forward" and not waste time or political energy looking back. So never mind the broken rules and never mind the unpunished violations. It's all in the past and we must look ahead, not back. Right?

But what becomes of "Rules must be binding" then, Mr. President? When will your own Department of Justice act in accordance with your words to North Korea?

Rules must be binding, Mr. President -- even on you.

Or were your words in Prague simply . . . words?
