Apparently you don't got it. Of course his administration represents him. I'm not sure why you thought I said anything to the contrary. The issue we were discussing was whether President Obama honors his commitments. It was in connection with Yak's comment that, "Perry says what he needs to say to get elected." You replied to Yak with a string of GOP talking points about commitments Obama supposedly made and then failed to fulfill. Included in your reply was the accusation that Obama promised to keep unemployment below a certain level if he got his spending bills passed. Obama never made any such promise and, AFAIK, he followed through on what he said he would do on that issue. Unfortunately, his projections were wrong, but it has nothing to do with saying "what he needs to say to get elected."
