Obama wanted points for already having embraced hard truths. "I won't pretend the path I'm offering is quick or easy. I never have. You didn't elect me to tell you what you wanted to hear. You elected me to tell you the truth."
that's from his speech last night. and many did vote for him four years ago because of his telling them what they wanted to hear. he didn't tell the truth then, and they ate it up. whether he was a flat-out liar pandering to those who wanted dreams viewed thru rose-colored glasses, or if he was just naive enough to think he could actually change things, i don't know. but either way, he bs'ed his way into that job. now the trick is to get those same voters, many of whom are now jaded and skeptical, to give him another go 'round.
