It’s not hard to find hundreds of interview clips pre-Obama and post-inauguration that look pretty darned silly now. This administration has been an epic failure by every measure they used and promise they made.
The campaign ads in 2012 have written themselves.
“PRESIDENT OBAMA: Look, I'm at the start of my administration. One nice thing about — the situation I find myself in is that I will be held accountable. You know, I've got four years. And —
MATT LAUER: You're gonna know quickly how people feel —
PRESIDENT OBAMA: — and — and —
MATT LAUER: — about what —
PRESIDENT OBAMA: that's exactly right. And — and, you know, a year from now I think people — are gonna see that — we're starting to make some progress. But there's still gonna be some pain out there. If I don't have this done in three years, then there's gonna be a one-term proposition.”
That was before he promised that unemployment would not go above 8% if we just let him spend a lot of stimulus money. Yea, right.
