This is some of the “change” the majority of those that voted said, via their votes, on November 4, 2008 they wanted. In November 2012, the electorate restated that was their wish.
I spar with liberals a lot on the internet. I noticed something very interesting with their attitudes toward Obama. In 2008, they LOVED him and could not wait to vote for him. It was truly amazing.
But I noticed, by 2011, a lot of them were complaining about him. Yes, the same guys I’d been sparring with in 2008. But guess what? They still voted for him in 2012. The reason? The same reason so many of us voted for McCain in 2008. It wasn’t a vote for our guy. It was a vote against the other guy. Their excuse was that Romney was just so incredibly bad that they had no choice but to vote for Obama.
