Remembering why Obama won

"I won" is the new mantra of the Obama presidency. Like the letter "O", there's a big hole in the argument. As Rich Lowry says
No president can adhere to every jot and tittle from his campaign, but the "I won" argument only works if the campaign program matches the governing program.
Here's various reasons Obama won in November:
1. He wasn't George W. Bush
2. He wasn't George W. Bush
3. He represented hope and change
4. Electing him president would be historic.
Don't see a $817 billion stiumulus bill filled with old Democratic wish lists among the top reasons.
