@John Wilharm
Relax. I didn't mean that he used those exact words, but that is what his rhetoric equaled once he became the Democrats' 2008 nominee. Here is the start of a George Will column in Newsweek, from June of that year:
"Journalists consider themselves crusty, unsentimental creatures who, their battered fedoras shoved back on their heads, have slouched out of Ben Hecht's 1928 play 'The Front Page,' oozing skepticism from every pore. Actually, they are round-heeled romantics, such pushovers for a new swain that they did not laugh until their ribs squeaked when Barack Obama concluded his triumphal St. Paul, Minn., speech by proclaiming: 'I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick …'
It is absolutely certain that generations from now someone will remember that even before that night in St. Paul, care was provided to the sick in America. Obama also asserted that future generations would say that 'this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal …' The man and the moment have met.
Obama's words mesmerize a nation accustomed to leaders who routinely use words with antic indifference to their accuracy. The No Child Left Behind law promises, indeed requires, that by 2014 all children will be "proficient" in reading and math. That will not happen. Obama vows to reduce carbon emissions 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. John McCain says 60 percent. Whether either goal should be reached, neither will be."

Let's see. The president who presided over the biggest foreign policy disaster in American history with the insane Afghan pullout - which not only led to the deaths of 13 Americans and maiming of many more, it also led to the deaths of thousands of innocent Afghans as well as the enslavement of millions of Afghan women. Oh yes, and also led directly to Russia invading Ukraine, a war which has a death toll of half a million and counting. The same president who has opened the border wide for the Mexican cartel to use as a source for smuggling in criminals and drugs, as well as serially raping women. The president whose policies led directly to the highest inflation in two generations, wherein the average American family spends more than $700/month more now than they did two years ago. The president who has been unbelievably divisive despite promising to heal the country. The president who lies endlessly to everyone about everything, including lying to Americans who have lost family members to tragedy, when Biden lies to them about having gone through the same thing himself. The president who has illegally and immorally weaponized the Justice Department to prosecute his political enemies while letting his own family get away with massive crimes. The president who has spent nearly the entire summer on vacation, but still hasn't found the time to visit East Palestine, despite promising to do so, and whose only comment on the Hawaii disaster after five days was to say "no comment". The president whose foreign policy weakness has encouraged Iran and their terrorist groups to kill many more innocents, then handed Iran billions in dollars to help create even more terrorism. The president who traded the "Merchant of Death" to the gangster Vladimir Putin, encouraging the latter to take more American hostages. And of course the same president who as Vice President sold out our country's foreign policy for millions of dollars in bribes.
And you think he's doing a bang-up job, right?
