No, for reals. We aren’t joking. He totally said that, as reported by ABC’s junior high poet and Obama cheerleader Rick Klein. The sad part? Rick probably thought it was genius and poetic. He, of course, translates. It must just be that stupid rubes can’t figure out the nuance-y nuance of the Smartest Man Alive.
@rorycooper means you need to bring outside pressure to bear

You can just hear the “Squeeee,” can’t you? Someone’s diary is going to be busy tonight!
Sane and grown-up citizens, however? Not so impressed. Um. What about that whole Hopeandchange ™ thing? Isn’t change what Obama, you know, campaigned on and promised? He’s admitting he lied and failed? Is he dropping out? If you can’t make change from inside Washington, he must not want to be re-elected. Whew! See ya, genius!
The president can’t do anything, evidently. That’s weird; we thought President Bush was responsible for everything wrong in the entire world, in perpetuity. What happened to that? Obama can’t do anything, but golf and canoodle and hawk things while four Americans lay dead.
Whoops! Oh, our aching sides.

@freddoso @rickklein So if he really cared about changing it, he wouldn't be running for reelection, right?

@freddoso @rickklein Was that lost in translation or his he dropping out of the race?

Yet he campaigned on fact that he would! RT @rickklein Obama at Univision forum: "I've learned you can't change Washington from the inside."

"Even though I campaigned on change, I lied because you can't change Washington from the inside." #DreamsCrashingandBurning

Another self-beclowning comment.
Not much of a bumper sticker. RT @rickklein: Obama: "I did not make a promise that I would get everything done, 100%" #UnivisionForum

And these Twitter users sum it all up.
@rickklein he's right, that's why we'll change Washington from the outside. It started in Nov 2010 and will continue with replacing Obama.
