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.

"If we can't get this done in three years, this is going to be a one-term proposition."

"We measure progress by how many people can find a job that pays the mortgage, whether you can put a little money away at the end of each month."

These are quotes from Obama four years ago. Like all of his lies, instead of it taking three years like he originally promised, we are now told that he never offered a path that was quick or easy. Even he told the American people that he was not deserving of a second term if he could not do it in four years. What a disgrace.
