Call him president downgrade. Obama promised everything in 2008. I think I recall him saying we'd have solar-powered flying cars by the end of his first term in office. I don't have one. Maybe he didn't promise that one. He did promise oceans would stop rising and crazy numbers of jobs would be created and the deficit would be cut in half and he'd end the war, and scads of other stuff. Come to think of it, the one thing he didn't promise as far as I recall, was to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden. But I digress. The point is president Obama has under-delivered on his vast list of promises.
So why should his 2012 convention speech be anything but more over-promising? That's something for voters to bear in mind while listening to it.
