While good for a "lol", doesn't anyone else hate April Fools day on the internet? It's nearly impossible to find a serious post. I can't take anything seriously on the internet for the next day or two.

I'm very confused... who are the users of your site? Actual politicians? When I click on "Backpedal", nothing happens... Are you expecting Bush/Clinton/Gore/Kerry to actually come to your site and use it?

Its apparently a silly april fools PR stunt to get exposure for a company (see excerpt from the website blow). Is HN going to be swamped with april fools nonsense?

If it's a joke - I don't actually get it. I get what backpedaling is and it's funny when politicians do it - but your description on the homepage is confusing (at least to me).
Guess my productivity is going to go up.
