On October 7, 2008, while campaigning for President, Barack Obama said,

“We will kill bin Laden. We will crush al-Qaeda. That has to be our biggest national security priority.”

On January 14, 2009, just six days before being sworn in as President of the United States, he completely contradicted himself saying,

“I think that we have to so weaken bin Laden’s infrastructure that, whether he is technically alive or not, he is so pinned down that he cannot function”

Barack Obama went from “kill bin Laden” to “pin down bin Laden” in 99 days. It’s not a record, but quite impressive, don’t you think?
