White House: Economy Is Strong Despite "Mess"

That statement sounds pretty familiar. Where have I heard that before? Ohhh, now I remember...it was on the campaign trail. But it wasn't Obama who was touting this idea: it was his opponent, John McCain. Not only that, but Obama mocked McCain when he made this statement, saying it proved that he's out of touch and that the "old" way of doing business in Washington is clueless.
Fast forward to today. Not only is Obama now, but he uses the EXACT same wording of which criticism became a cornerstone of his campaign.
I don't even have to say anything more about this. It speaks for itself. Obama simply says what he thinks that people want to hear. It's all about re-election.
Country First, right?
