See, I think what happened is that he thought because they elected a guy named Barack Hussein Obama President of the United States, that the American people were finally getting serious. And they didnt elect him because they were finally getting serious. They elected him because he was an extraordinarily appealing candidate and the previous administration had thoroughly discredited themselves, and John McCain looked like more of the same. So I think in some ways, he misinterpreted as a mandate for seriousness, vs. a mandate for a cool new president who wasnt George Bush and wasnt 70 years old.
