No Shit - Obama: ""People weren’t paying attention to me when I said change is hard."

[kpete]

Look, I understand. I understand that, but remember what the campaign was about -- hope, change. People weren’t paying attention to me when I said change is hard. People -- a lot of folks, they just missed that part. (Laughter.) They were like, hope, change -- (laughter) -- and they thought, nice swearing-in, you got Bruce Springsteen singing. (Laughter.) Everybody is feeling good. This is going to happen fast. (Laughter.)

Well, no. If it was easy, it would’ve happened before. If it was easy, we would have put in place mileage standards on cars 30 years ago, 40 years ago, 50 years ago -- on trucks. We didn’t do it, because it’s hard.
