Obama spent his political career voting "present" in the IL state senate. He did that because this is a man who did not want to leave footprints behind that anyone could hold him accountable for. Now, unfortunately, he has a record we can look at.
I actually give him very high marks for the war on terror. But on the economy? How do you spend $5 trillion more than you took in, and have higher unemployment than when you started?
So, rather than brag about his record, the Obama machine does what you say. They keep moving the goalposts until it appears as though they scored a goal. It's dishonest and desperate. And somehow, effective.
A senior Obama campaign official said recently that the country is beter off now than it was before Obama took office, "by any measure". I can only assume that the list of measures that make Obama look great, does not include unemployment, debt, foreclosures, gas prices, or consumer confidence.
