Facing the prospect of major Democratic losses in both Houses of Congress, President Obama continued a get-out-the-vote campaign with an appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Obama defended his administration’s record and appealed for more time to deliver on his campaign pledges of “change.”
President Obama: “Over and over again, we have moved forward an agenda that is making a difference in people’s lives each and every day. Now, is it enough? No. And so, I expect, and I think most Democrats out there expect, that people want to see more progress, but certainly, in terms of the folks who voted for me, my expectation and hope is, is that if you look at the track record that we’ve accomplished in very difficult circumstances over the last eighteen months, we have done an awful lot that we talked about during the campaign, and we’re going to do more in the years to come.”
