Change

Well, no one said he was lying. I suppose it depends on whether you think this kind of change is good or bad. The way I see it, this change has: skyrocketed the debt, expanded government dependency, done nothing to help unemployment, alienation of traditional allies, frozen the US economy, and specifically in terms of the auto "bailout", wrested financial control of a private corporation through the power of government from it's legal shareholders and gifted it to the unions (aka, their cronies and lobbyists). While I disagree with some or many of the wartime decisions made by POTUS, I do not blame him for the US continued state of war. Read the original and see the video here.

Obama: "We've Begun To See What Change Looks Like"

Touting the auto bailout at a fundraiser in Detroit, President Obama told supporters we are now seeing what change looks like.

"In just three years, because of what you did in 2008, we've begun to see what change looks like. We've begun to see it," Obama said. Transcript below.

OBAMA: When you decide to support a candidate named Barack Hussein Obama, you know the odds are not necessarily in your favor. You didn't need a poll to tell you that wasn't going to be a sure thing. But the point is, you didn't get involved in this campaign just because of me. You did it because you were making a commitment to each other. You had a shared vision for America.

It wasn't a vision where just a few were doing well and everybody else was left to fend for themselves and play by their own rules. It was a big, bold, generous vision of America where everybody who works hard has a chance to get ahead, not just those at the very top. That's the vision we share. That's the commitment you made to each other.

We knew it wasn't going to be easy. We knew the changes that we believed in wouldn't necessarily come quickly, but we understood that if we were determined that we could overcome any obstacle, that we could beat any challenge. And in just three years, because of what you did in 2008, we've begun to see what change looks like. We've begun to see it.

Think about it. Change is the decision we made to rescue the American auto industry from collapse when some politicians said let Detroit go bankrupt. There were one million jobs on the line and the fate of communities all across the Midwest was on the line and we weren't going to let it happen.
