Obama re-regurgitates message for re-election bid

President Obama, who rode a wave of hope and a promise of change into office, now must convince voters it would be hopeless to bring more change to the White House.

Making his first official pitch as a candidate last week, Obama's oratory resembled that of a weathered politician, framing himself as the pragmatic voice in a highly charged partisan environment that could devolve into chaos without adult supervision.

"Some of the excitement of something entirely new is not going to be there, and I've got some dents and dings in the fender," he told supporters in Chicago. "But that vision hasn't changed. What we care about hasn't changed. Our commitments should not have changed."

The political mood has certainly changed, however..........
