Being President is hard- what with unvetted nominees causing heartburn, the Congress serving up a trillion dollar garbagulus bill, and US magazine dissing him (him!). So what's a smooth campaigner with Baptist preacher cadence to do? Act like the election never happened and keep on campaignin'! Having apparently decided running for the office is easier than occupying it, Barack Obama is giving speeches like this:
"So the American people are watching. They did not send us here to get bogged down with the same old delay, the same old distractions, the same talking points, the same cable chatter. You know, aren't you all tired of that stuff?... They did not vote for the false theories of the past, and they didn't vote for phony arguments and petty politics. They didn't vote for the status quo — they sent us here to bring change. We owe it to them to deliver. This is the moment for leadership that matches the great test of our times. And I know you want to work with me to get there."
