Obama Takes Condescending Tone With Supporters: Come on, Change 'Is Hard'

It seems the president has finally realized the hope and change honeymoon is over. During a speech yesterday in San Francisco, Obama spoke to a group of supporters and opened with what might become a popular phrase during his reelection campaign. To paraphrase: come on, people, just because I sold you a bunch of change doesn't mean I have to deliver on it in the first two years.

Mediaite has the quote:

He admitted he knows the response many of his strongest supporters sometimes have, suggesting “your friends come and you say ‘oh Obama’s changed. I used to be so excited. I still have a poster.’” He then joked “everybody’s a political consultant,” before warning that “everyone likes change in the abstract, but change in the concrete is hard. It’s tough.”
